A good camera system prudently deters crime
Security cameras possess a conflicting interest relating to form vs. function. On the one hand, you may want your security equipment to be easily seen to avert a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want any device to be prominent on your property. An unsatisfactorily attached camera, or one that’s too large the space, might ruin your home's look.
Fortunately, there are a number of discreet cameras that can still be a hindrance to criminals. A professionally mounted wireless security camera will look clean below your gutters or reside on anywhere without sticking out -- unless you look for it. But, if you buy a security camera from Vivint that comes with a light or LED ring that turns on when triggered, it will stand out to would-be criminals, scaring them away.
