Id say alarm system. That can be tied into the smoke alarm as well as detect motion, glassbreak, doors and windows. Plus you can have that monitored 24/7 and call the police fire dept or medical services. A camera system will only allow you to view and/or record anything happening inside your home. You would be able to check it anytime from the internet but many new alarm systems can do that as well now.

Home Security Camera System, I have two systems and there great, lets you see who’s coming and going. I sleep a lot easier at night, knowing I can just look at the cameras and know what’s out there.

Alarm systems with outside contact or automatic phone
contacts . Alarms without monitoring or phone doen’t always get attention when the house is left empty and Camera systems don’t see through disguises and if not online can be stolen . the key is keeping the system away from the perp.
good luck I’m building my own with camera’s online and telephone dialing upon break in.keep in mind also if camera are outside you won’t see much unless motion detectors turn on your flood lights . And most crooks will go elsewhere if they see a warning sign beware of dangerous dogs.

It depends if someone is monitoring them. If no one is monitoring your video feed then you need at least a decent recording system that retains video for at least a month. If you have a home alarm system but it is not monitored then that isn’t good either. So you definitely want to go with something that is monitored 24/7. I would choose alarm system because I am sure that security camera monitoring is expensive! Also an alarm system that has 2-way voice with the dispatch center will scare criminals away. You could also set up a internal feed of cameras just for youself. That also acts as a deterant to criminals. As soon as they see the camera they will walk away.
