> CCTV's only purpose for home security is for possible intruder to see it and decide to not intrude. If they come in and you get them in vidi then what?
If your CCTV can only film inside your house, it will not be able to record the identity of a sophisticated attacker.

If you are able to record their identity (this is much more likely if you can film outside your house, within an area they would use to stake it), then there are several advantages:
1. Even if you are kidnapped or your house is robbed, it is more likely that the attacker's identity will be recognized, either during this attack, before another attack or even after they are caught in another attack, which would help to increase their sentences.
The chance this will help stop the current attack is minor, although not impossible if law enforcement acts in an expertly fashion (huge "if", I know).
2. For the same reasons above, it is also a huge deterrent, as it greatly increases the risk of the attack (for the attackers, of course), so it also helps to prevent you from being attacked.
3. Furthermore, it shows that you have taken security measures and therefore will increase the chance that the attackers will choose an easier target rather than you.
