A good camera system discreetly deters crime
The problem with a security camera is that it has two opposing functions. On the one side, you may want your security cameras to be front and center to dissuade a break-in. On the other side, you don't want them to be unattractive for your home. A badly hung camera, or one that doesn't fit the space, may detract from your home's look.
Luckily, there are a number of discreet cameras that can still be a deterrent. A professionally installed wireless security camera will look clean under your gutters or rest on anywhere without being an eyesore -- unless you want it to. But, if you get a camera that has a light or LED ring that turns on when triggered, it will stand out to lurkers, scattering them far away.
