Camera locations and coverage areas include: • Front Entrance: One camera at the front door. (Note: The front doorbell camera is muted/turned off upon your arrival. It will only alert us if actively pressed). • South Side: One camera monitoring the road-side exterior of the house to ensure window security. • Ocean-Facing North Decks: Two cameras viewing the main north deck entrances. This includes the outdoor dining and lounge areas where the door access points are located. • Side Deck: One camera overlooking the side deck and the side bunkhouse entrance. Please note the camera is angled down to view only up to the bottom hearth/deck floor and do not look into the glass door. • Driveway & Backyard: One camera overlooking the driveway entrance and the north side bunkhouse entrance. Please note that the open backyard area leading down to the beach falls within the peripheral view of the exterior system.
