Sticking a camera in a particular window would allow both a view of the door, pathway to the door and also the garden.
If they're planning on putting this camera in a window indoors and pointing it outside, be aware that this is only going to work during the daytime. At night, it will be too dark for the camera to see anything unless outside is well lit, and if the camera has any infrared LEDs for night vision, these will just cause massive glare in the window glass.
