Kinds of home security cameras
First, let’s look at the components you’ll install to design your home security camera system in Bellingham.
-
Inside home security cameras: Interior cameras attach to a wall or rest on a shelf and capture the room's center view.
-
Outside home security camera: These cameras hang on the exterior of your home to provide a feed of your yard and main doorways.
-
Doorbell cameras: These protect your front door and packages and allow for a two-way talk feature.
A great camera system subtly deters crime
The problem with a security camera is that it has two differing functions. On the one side, you may want your security cameras to be visible to deter a break-in. On the other side, you don't want the cameras to be an eyesore to your property. A poorly attached camera, or one that’s too large the space, might hinder your home's aesthetic.
Thankfully, there are a myriad of sleek cameras that can still become a repellent. A professionally mounted wireless security camera will look clean below your gutters or sit on anywhere without sticking out -- unless you need it to. But, if you opt for a security camera from Vivint with a light or LED ring that turns on when triggered, it will stick out to creeps, scattering them away.
