Qidi plus 4 filament dragging

Im having a problem where my filament is being dragged whenever I print. I mainly print in PETG but so far pla and tpu all seem to have the same symptoms.

I have manually leveled the bed. Manually set z offset. Dried the filament for 32+ hours. Washed the bed plate with dawn soap and then wiped it with alcohol once the bed is warm. Created a new bed mesh.

I have done this multiple times to ensure I have everything set right, and even then I still get the printer to get the filament dragged after it creates the initial

Printer is stock so I am really not sure what's happening, I have set print temp from 245c to 210c and thinking the excessive ooze might be causing the issue but no luck.

Even if I catch the purge line prior to print it will catch it while its creating the brim or even moving the hot end from one area to another.

Security Camera Location for Wide view Floodlight

I recently bought a Reolink floodlight camera and want to install it in my back area, since I need coverage for all my cars back there.

Initially, I was planning to put it in the circled area. But since the floodlight's motion sensor only has good coverage in front of it and slightly to the left, I think it would miss people walking in from the driveway - which is the only entry point into the back.

I'm now considering mounting it on top of the utility room instead. That spot would likely give a better view of the whole back area and, more importantly, ensure the floodlight actually triggers when someone walks in. This back area is enclosed, with the driveway as the only way in or out.

I have another camera for the driveway so my main concern is where would you guys place it?
