Where should cameras go on a Carroll Gardens brownstone?

The critical camera positions for a Carroll Gardens brownstone: (1) stoop/front entrance facing the sidewalk, (2) rear garden or yard, (3) parlor floor hallway if multi-unit, (4) any side alley or passageway. For Carroll Gardens brownstones with basement apartments, add a camera covering the below-grade entrance. We use discreet dome cameras that don’t clash with historic architecture.

Wired or wireless cameras for Carroll Gardens buildings?

For Carroll Gardens’s row houses with deep front gardens along Smith Street, wired PoE cameras are the only professional option.
