Most homes can start with four security cameras: front door, driveway, backyard, and a side or rear entrance. Larger homes, corner lots, detached garages.

A 4K security camera system can help a driveway camera capture more detail, but resolution alone will not solve bad angles, glare, weak lighting, or poor.

The best security camera system with no monthly fee is not just a camera without a subscription button. It is a complete setup with local recording.
