Security cameras are a must-have form of security around any property, whether this is your home or place of work. Not only do they capture footage of potential crime, but they also deter it, too.
A criminal is far less likely to attempt to enter your property or residence if they know they are being watched. This is a fact and is also why large shopping malls and other commercial spaces use hundreds of cameras. Even though someone might not be watching at that very moment, the thought of being on the camera and being caught is enough to deter criminals.
So, with this in mind, the remainder of this blog post will discuss how security cameras deter burglars.

Footage of the potential crime
Criminals are becoming smarter; they no longer break and enter without a second thought. Well, most don’t. Now, with the introduction of security cameras and other home security systems and gadgets, it has never been more difficult for criminals to commit a crime without being caught. This is great news for all home and property owners.
Nonetheless, crime does still happen, but the simple use and public display of a security camera is often enough to deter a criminal, not only away from your property, but perhaps away from your street or neighborhood, too.
How to set up your security cameras
To get the most out of your security cameras, you need to set these up in the right places. Ideally, you should have multiple cameras in view, one overlooking the front of the property, others at the side, and one at the back. You can also have an internal camera looking outside. This is one that cannot easily be broken and will further deter crime.
Finally, alongside setting up your cameras, you can add warning signs to your property, informing potential trespassers that you do have security cameras watching. This in itself can be enough to prevent and deter crime, especially if you live in a secluded area.
