Owner-run nail salonNail salon camera plan example
A sample nail salon setup focused on reception, service-floor context, and after-hours access without creating intrusive close-up coverage.
This example is designed for compact salons that need cleaner payment review, front-desk accountability, and one useful service-floor overview while staying respectful around close client interactions.

Coverage to prioritize first
- Front door
- Reception or POS counter
- Service-floor overview
- Waiting area
- Back door
- Supply or stock area
Why this plan works
- The plan protects reception and payment questions first because that solves more real owner pain than another close-up over a chair.
- One respectful floor overview creates movement context without making every service station feel over-surveilled.
- The back door or supply area becomes the phase-two growth point because product shrink and after-hours entry are usually underestimated.
