Probably not, since security cameras are not going to prevent a break-in and the losses incurred from same. They will make it easier to possibly identity and apprehend the crooks, but the damages will still remain. You would make a better investment if you installed a security alarm system, plus other barriers to unwanted entrance, such as better door frames and grates over your windows.

Call your insurance agent and ask. That's the only way to know for sure. You could call other agencies as well to shop around for the best answer.

No. It doesn't prevent or mitigate any losses, it only allows for prosecution.
Only alarm systems give exra credits, sometimes only central station alarm systems.

Only your insurance company can answer that.
