A good camera system subtly deters crime
Many times it seems that security cameras diametrically oppose themselves. On the one side, you need your security cameras to be easily seen to avert a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want the cameras to be unattractive for your property. An unsatisfactorily hung camera, or one doesn’t fit the space, might hinder your home's look.
Fortunately, there are a number of discreet cameras that can still become a deterrent. A professionally hung wireless security camera will look clean under your gutters or rest on top of any surface without being noticeable -- unless you need it to. But, if you get a Vivint that comes with a light or LED ring when active, it will stick out to lurkers, scattering them away.
