Adding a home security camera can improve the effectiveness of your existing alarm-based security system. Source:

I don't think it will make a lot of difference. If a person is going to violate your home a camera is not going to help.I am sure that you have a warning sticker that your home is protected by an alarm system. If this doesn't stop them how would a camera help. The only reason for a camera is that it might help identify a person who burglarizes you home. This is not going to stop them.

Yes, this is a great deterrence. The crook is more likely to pass you by and hit a less well defended home, just like a bonehead will look for an unlocked car to hot wire.

Also, if the camera is hooked up to a recording device, you stand a good chance of catching and convicting a burglar if a break-in does happen.
