An ideal camera system discreetly deters crime
Security cameras hold a conflicting stake regarding form vs. function. On the one hand, you need your security equipment to be visible to deter a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want the cameras to be an eyesore to your house. An unsatisfactorily hung camera, or one that’s too large the space, may ruin your home's look.
Luckily, there are plenty of discreet cameras that can still become a deterrent. A professionally installed wireless security camera will simply hang beneath your gutters or reside on a desk without being noticeable -- unless you need it to. But, if you get a Vivint with a light or LED ring that activates, it will stand out to lurkers, scattering them far away.
