I have my outdoors speakers on the wall facing out like yours in blue.
- out of the weather under eves
- better bass being against the wall
- 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.
I use both a trail cam and a Wyse wifi camera, I think it was $40
