I use both.
Motion detecting lights (multiple) and camera.
The camera also sends a notice to phone in case I am not home and sends the most recent video to phone if requested so I can see what's going on before reacting.

We also have dogs, one that is old enough to be helpful and bark, and a couple pups that are still learning <grin>
Won't be long before they are bigger than the old guy though.

I used to work construction in Chicago many moons ago, and had a few rough guys that were 'ex' gang members under me (though I am sure at least one still had a lot of pull observing how the others respected him).
Anyway .. he once told me, when a thief is looking for a house to break into and there are 10 houses on the block .. if four of them have a dog, you got 6 to pick from.
That stuck with me
