A professional monitored alarm has a control station that react when your alarm is triggered.

Alarm first, cameras second.

I have installed both many times so speak from experience.

20 years ago I was making and selling dummy alarm boxes with flashing LED's that were a good deterrent to any passing thieves. The idea being, I have an alarm but next door doesn't so break into theres instead.
Fair points, I remember the dummy boxes it was around the same time criminals started using expanding foam etc to silence the real ones.
I suppose if their determined enough they'll get in regardless.
