Security Camera for a Vacant Lot
A vacant lot still has a front line and gear worth watching.

Why this comes up
A vacant lot still has a front line and gear worth watching. Mount the camera inside your front line and aim it down your own entrance, not into the next lot.
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 Reolink 4G camera when that is the job in front of you. Mount the camera inside your front line and aim it down your own entrance, not into the next lot.
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.
Walk the parcel in daylight before you trust a gadget at dusk.
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.
