A good camera system subtly deters crime
Many times it seems that security cameras diametrically oppose themselves. On the one hand, you need your security devices to be visible to avert a break-in. On the other side, you don't want any device to be unattractive for your house. A badly attached camera, or one doesn’t fit the space, might ruin your home's look.
Thankfully, there are plenty of sleek cameras that can still be a deterrent. A professionally mounted wireless security camera can easily hang under your gutters or rest on top of any surface without being noticeable -- unless you need it to. But, if you buy a security camera from Vivint that has a light or LED ring that turns on when triggered, it will stand out to lurkers, scattering them away.
