I read all the information and answers given in response to this same question and I readily acknowledge why this isn't a good idea but hear me out with my issue.
I have a tablet. It has been provided to me by ADT for security purposes to arm and disarm the home. The tablet comes with 6' of attached wiring and an adapter which you plug into a nearby outlet.
The tablet is anchored to the wall near the back door just above a light switch. Cannot use the light switch for power as it is a slave switch to another light switch on the opposite side of the room. So I have the tablet secured and the wires droop down maybe 4' to the outlet where the adapter is plugged in. There is extra wire on the floor.
I can take care of the wire issue but the whole setup looks stupid and unattractive.
If I can't hide the whole setup in the wall what are my options?

You can put it in the wall as long as you have an accessible cover that doesn’t damage the finish. For years I have done this and made “picture frames” that were held in with Velcro, an inspector mentioned that I could screw them in it would still be legal he thought my picture frame idea was a good one. So yes you can conceal things they just need to be accessible without damaging the building finish.
