Do you Need Security Cameras at Home?

Many call it going a bit overboard but some say it is about improving home security especially due to the rampant increase of break-ins and burglaries most people are encountering these days. Apparently a simple installation of video cameras in certain parts of the home has been a common practice.
Some home owners install spy cams in places like the following:
1. Front Door
2. Front Gate
3. Back Door
4. Garage
5. Receiving area
If you will notice, most of these are the entry points to a home. You don’t really have to put spy cams on places like the living room or bedrooms since that would really be going a bit overboard. The case would be different though if you would want to monitor the activities of hired help.
So are spy cams a need. Depending on your status and neighborhood, they can be good security improvements for sure. It all depends if you have a purpose of having one. But if you are just installing them because you want to get in with the times, it is not really recommended.

I’ve been thinking about getting a security system ever since my neighbor had a break in on thanksgiving.
