I have a few cameras and the cables are all hidden. The camera doesn't have to be mounted on a wall to be useful - mine sit on existing furniture and the cables hang down behind, out of sight.
As for their utility, meh, dubious utility. Yeah, I get a notice on my phone when they detect movement. That just means I know when my maid is moving between the basement and the living room. But, I know this going in - bought them more as a nerd gadget thing that actual security.
