Watching a Gate at the Front Lot Line
The front line is where strangers meet the parcel.

Why this comes up
The front line is where strangers meet the parcel. Set the camera back from the right-of-way so the public road is not the whole picture.
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 gate camera when that is the job in front of you. Set the camera back from the right-of-way so the public road is not the whole picture.
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.
The county viewer is the map. The product is only the tool you carry.
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.
