An ideal camera system discreetly deters crime
Security cameras hold an opposing interest regarding form vs. function. On the one hand, you may want your security equipment to be easily seen to deter a break-in. On the other side, you don't want the cameras to be an eyesore to your property. An unsatisfactorily attached camera, or one that’s too large the space, may detract from your home's look.
Thankfully, there are a myriad of discreet cameras that can still serve as a hindrance to criminals. A professionally installed wireless security camera will simply hang under your gutters or sit on top of any surface without being an eyesore -- unless you want it to. But, if you opt for a camera that has a light or LED ring when active, it will stick out to creeps, scattering them far away.
