An ideal camera system subtly deters crime
Security cameras hold an opposing interest when it comes to form vs. function. On the one side, you want your security equipment to be visible to deter a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want the cameras to be prominent on your home. A poorly mounted camera, or one that doesn't suit the space, could possibly detract from your home's aesthetic.
Thankfully, there are a number of sleek cameras that can still be a repellent. A professionally installed wireless security camera will look clean below your gutters or rest on anywhere without being noticeable -- unless you want it to. But, if you opt for a Vivint with a light or LED ring that turns on when triggered, it will stick out to would-be criminals, scaring them far away.
