Interior home security cameras: Indoor cameras are mounted on a wall or sit on a shelf and primarily show the room's center view.
-
Outside home security camera: These cameras mount on the exterior of your home to provide a look of your yard and primary entrances.

Doorbell cameras: These protect your entryway and packages and come with a two-way talk feature.
An ideal camera system subtly deters crime
The issue with a security camera is that it has two opposing needs. On the one hand, you may want your security cameras to be visible to deter a break-in. On the other hand, you don't want any device to be unattractive for your property. A badly mounted camera, or one that’s too large the space, might ruin your home's look.
Thankfully, there are a number of stylish cameras that can still serve as a deterrent. A professionally hung wireless security camera can easily hang under your gutters or rest on top of any surface without sticking out -- unless you look for it. But, if you get a Vivint with a light or LED ring that turns on when triggered, it will stick out to lurkers, sending them far away.
