Kinds of home security cameras
To help you set up your home security camera system in Salem, you’ll use a combination of three different classifications of devices.
-
Interior home security cameras: Indoor cameras hang from a wall or sit on a flat surface and capture the room's central area.
-
Outside home security camera: These cameras hang on the exterior of your home to provide a look of your yard and main doorways.
-
Doorbell cameras: These guard your entryway and packages and feature a two-way talk feature.
A great camera system subtly deters crime
The conundrum with a security camera is that it has two big needs. On the one hand, you want your security equipment to be visible to avert a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want them to be prominent on your house. A badly attached camera, or one that doesn't suit the space, may detract from your home's style.
Fortunately, there are a number of discreet cameras that can still serve as a repellent. A professionally installed wireless security camera will simply hang under your gutters or rest on a desk without sticking out -- unless you look for it. But, if you get a security camera from Vivint that has a light or LED ring when active, it will stick out to creeps, scaring them away.
