I use both a trail cam and a Wyse wifi camera, I think it was $40

I have my outdoors speakers on the wall facing out like yours in blue.

1. out of the weather under eves
2. better bass being against the wall
3. sound projects out to the yard/pool and not to the neighbors on either side. High quality speakers with a decent amount of power provide better bass but not like having a sub woofer. I was not creating an outdoor home theater but entertaining background music environment.
