Many years ago we had no mailboxes, but people still drove up into the yard.
Dad fixed that by planting two trees, and then driving 5 foot pipes
three feet into the ground and tying the trees to them.
If they came up into the yard again, their bottom end would be ripped
out. (Much safer than a 2x4 with nails put through it laying point up.)

No matter which camera you choose, don't be lured into thinking that
bright lighting near your house will make you safer. It makes you
less safe because the light makes it easier to find the best way to
break into your house. Using motion sensor lights--several of them
in different locations, and different intensities--works better, is
kinder to your neighbors, costs less and doesn't contribute so much
to light pollution, at least that's what a police detective friend
told me [he also said not to drive a red sports car too fast because
it's the most likely to be seen and ticketed].
At the street, it's a different story.
Are there street lights?
Some people around here have their mailboxes set in concrete.
Hitting them will cause a lot of damage to anything but a very large
truck. They've done it to protect their mailboxes from the snow
plows! Most side mirrors fold flat against a car or truck. It's a
pain to remember to fold it down when you park, but it's harder to
break off that way. Of course that might make the vandals mad enough
to put a brick through your windshield.
