A great camera system subtly deters crime
The issue with a security camera is that it has two differing functions. On the one side, you want your security cameras to be front and center to avert a break-in. On the other side, you don't want any device to be unattractive for your property. A poorly hung camera, or one that doesn't suit the space, could possibly detract from your home's aesthetic.
Fortunately, there are a number of discreet cameras that can still become a repellent. A professionally installed wireless security camera will look clean below your gutters or rest on top of any surface without being noticeable -- unless you want it to. But, if you get a Vivint that comes with a light or LED ring that activates, it will stick out to creeps, scaring them far away.
