-
Interior home security cameras: Interior cameras are mounted on a wall or sit on a shelf and capture the room's main view.
-
Outside home security camera: These cameras hang on the exterior of your home to show a view of your yard and main entryways.
-
Doorbell cameras: These protect your porch and packages and feature a two-way talk feature.
An ideal camera system discreetly deters crime
Security cameras possess a competing interest relating to form vs. function. On the one hand, you need your security cameras to be front and center to avert a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want any device to be an eyesore to your home. A badly hung camera, or one that’s too big the space, may ruin your home's look.
Fortunately, there are plenty 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 a desk without sticking out -- unless you want 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 stick out to would-be criminals, sending them to the hills.
