Camera Placement and a Utility Easement
The plat may reserve a strip you should not block.

Why this comes up
The plat may reserve a strip you should not block. Set the post outside the easement the plat labels, even if the grass looks unused.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Lorex camera mount when that is the job in front of you. Set the post outside the easement the plat labels, even if the grass looks unused.
The limit
Point the camera at your own gate, door, or pad. It does not decide a lot line, and it should not cover a neighbor's windows.
Match the parcel ID on the tax bill before you shop for the field kit.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
