Do internet, HBO max, and security camera service count as utilities for rental property schedule E?

If not, can these be deducted as "other" schedule E expenses?

The security camera service is a monthly charge to record video of exterior cameras.

Thanks

Any and all ordinary and necessary expenses can be deducted from your rental income.

Does it matter if these go into "utilities" or "other"?

Is it up to my discretion?

It actually makes no difference.
