Security cameras are generally placed high up to get a better view, not a foot or two off the ground.

But not always. I have a security camera watching my front door, it's on a sideboard, at a height of 32". It's a perfectly normal and acceptable thing to do.

A lot of people don’t want a camera in the corner of their ceiling, it’s an eyesore and can feel a bit like big brother.

also don’t discount laziness. i’m going to mount my security camera this weekend because i’ve forgotten the last 80 weekends.
