A good camera system subtly deters crime
Security cameras have a conflicting stake relating to form vs. function. On the one hand, you may want your security equipment to be visible to avert a break-in. On the other side, you don't want the cameras to be prominent on your house. An unsatisfactorily attached camera, or one that doesn't fit the space, might detract from your home's style.
Fortunately, there are a number of discreet cameras that can still serve as a repellent. A professionally installed wireless security camera will simply hang under your gutters or reside on top of any surface without sticking out -- unless you want it to. But, if you buy a Vivint that has a light or LED ring that activates, it will stick out to lurkers, scaring them far away.
