Camera design in Fernwood is a geometry problem before it is anything else. The Victorian and Edwardian workers' houses sit close on compact lots, so every sightline is short, every side path is shared or nearly so, and a carelessly aimed lens films the neighbour's kitchen window six metres away. Add the neighbourhood's porous, shared-space habits — lanes in constant use, boulevard gardens, foot traffic drifting between the village square and home — and the brief becomes precise: cover your own entries, gate and shed without recording anyone else's life. That is achievable, and it is how we design here: tight angles, privacy masking where a view can't avoid a fence line, cable routed invisibly through attic and basement so a prized paint job is drilled once and never twice, and coverage of the lane-facing structures where Fernwood actually loses things.
On a Fernwood lot, camera placement is a negotiation with the neighbours' proximity. We choose mounting points and angles that hold coverage on your own porch, paths and entries, and where a useful view unavoidably clips the fence line, privacy masking blanks that zone from the recording entirely. The result satisfies both requirements this neighbourhood imposes: real evidence of who came to your door, and nothing on file about the people one thin gap away — because good coverage and good neighbour relations are both design specs.
Fernwood's most burgled structures aren't its houses — they're the sheds and backyard studios along the lanes, holding bikes, tools and instruments behind a latch. Camera design here works from the back of the lot forward: a view of the lane gate where anyone entering must pass, coverage of the shed or studio door, and sensor lighting on the side path. Paired with the house's entry cameras, the softest targets on a tight urban lot become the best-watched corners of it.
A Fernwood paint job is a statement, and surface conduit across it would be defacement. Wood-frame construction spares us the choice: cable runs through the attic or basement and up wall cavities, cameras mount under soffits in housings that sit quietly against the trim, and every exterior penetration is drilled once, sealed, and finished with a drip loop for the eight wet months. On a hundred-year-old house the wiring path bends around old renovations and odd cavities — the age shapes the route, never the coverage.
