Where to Aim a Camera on Your Side of the Lot Line
The useful view is your drive, your door, and your yard.

Why this comes up
The useful view is your drive, your door, and your yard. Keep the lens on your side of the line. A neighbor's windows are not your coverage area.
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 wireless camera when that is the job in front of you. Keep the lens on your side of the line. A neighbor's windows are not your coverage area.
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.
