A great camera system prudently deters crime
Security cameras hold a competing stake relating to form vs. function. On the one side, you need your security equipment to be visible to avert a break-in. On the other side, you don't want them to be an eyesore to your house. A poorly attached camera, or one that doesn't fit the space, could possibly ruin your home's aesthetic.
Thankfully, there are a myriad of stylish cameras that can still serve as a hindrance to criminals. A professionally hung wireless security camera can easily hang under your gutters or rest on top of any surface without sticking out -- unless you want it to. But, if you get a camera that comes with a light or LED ring that activates, it will stand out to would-be criminals, scaring them to the hills.
