An ideal camera system discreetly deters crime
Security cameras have a competing interest when it comes to form vs. function. On the one side, you need your security cameras to be visible to deter a break-in. On the other side, you don't want the cameras to be an eyesore to your home. An unsatisfactorily attached camera, or one doesn’t fit the space, could possibly detract from your home's aesthetic.
Thankfully, there are a myriad of discreet cameras that can still be a hindrance to criminals. A professionally installed wireless security camera can easily hang below your gutters or reside on anywhere without being noticeable -- unless you want it to. But, if you opt for a camera that has a light or LED ring when active, it will stand out to lurkers, sending them away.
