Are computer video surveillance system a good deterrent?

I was wondering if wireless computer video monitoring system a good deterrent against buglers who are non-violent? Would seeing a video system set up in my front door, back door etc. be a deterrent? For deterrence should it be clearly visible? I figure if the cameras were hidden it would not act as a deterrence.
