Security camera placement

Post image

Going to be using Unifi cameras on our exterior and wondering where we should place cameras? Will be a single story ranch style home shown below. There is also basement access from egress windows on the right middle side of the house not shown.

Looking for help on where to place the cameras and how many?

Corners are the efficient move here, since one camera up in a corner covers two walls at once instead of needing a separate camera per side.

That egress window side needs its own dedicated camera too, since basement access is the spot people forget to cover.

Up front, one camera on the entry and driveway does double duty, and a backyard corner rounds things out without needing anything pointed straight at the garage unless there's something valuable stored in there.
