A good camera system prudently deters crime
Security cameras have a competing interest when it comes to form vs. function. On the one hand, you may want your security cameras to be visible to dissuade a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want them to be an eyesore to your house. A poorly hung camera, or one that doesn't match the space, could possibly detract from your home's look.
Thankfully, there are plenty of stylish cameras that can still become a deterrent. A professionally mounted wireless security camera will simply hang under your gutters or sit on anywhere without being an eyesore -- unless you look for it. But, if you get a security camera from Vivint with a light or LED ring that activates, it will stick out to would-be criminals, scattering them far away.
