An ideal camera system discreetly deters crime
Security cameras hold an opposing stake regarding form vs. function. On the one hand, you need your security cameras to be visible to dissuade a break-in. On the other side, you don't want them to be prominent on your house. An unsatisfactorily hung camera, or one that doesn't match the space, may ruin your home's style.
Luckily, there are a number of discreet cameras that can still be a hindrance to criminals. A professionally installed wireless security camera will simply hang below your gutters or reside on a desk without being noticeable -- unless you need it to. But, if you buy a camera with a light or LED ring when active, it will stand out to lurkers, sending them far away.
