We disguise our outdoor cameras. You can't see them. Yes, this advertises you are up to no good if someone sees it. I also notice people take offense when they see them. I even record all day night and play back the clips to see who came to the door today and such . . . Great tool. Mine is viewable from my iphone remotely wherever I am.Pm me and I can show you the gear I got and where to get it cheap.
