It looks like that would work - but you have blind spots.
Hopefully you bought an 8-channel NVR so you can add more later.
You can run an extra wire to the corners to add more cameras later.
As for the front door, if you can't get it through the attic you could always run it under the siding and/or behind the rain gutters.
I would also look into 2.8MM cameras if you are going to add more.
I found the 4MM to be a little tight/narrow.

The North East side of the house has no entry points or windows, so I should be good on that side. I'm also going to add 2-3 cameras inside the house to fortify coverage.
I ordered IP cameras and I'm going to build my DVR. Planning to run the ExacqVision software. I have an extra machine running 7 professional. I just bought a 2T drive for it, and it will be housed in my 'audio closet'. Kind of cool, no screen or keyboard connected to it, so it kind of just looks like an old box sitting there. I just use RDP to connect to it from my other PC.
Yeah, I wanted 2.8mm lens, but found a "steal" on some hikvision 2032s. I hope they send what was advertised. Supposedly, NIB for $48 shipped, so I ordered 4 of them. We'll see if they even get here or if I have to pay special duty taxes.
