A dummy security camera is a cost effective deterrent to deter a break-in, theft, or vandalism in a private or commercial residence or surrounding grounds.
These fake cameras offer a simple and quick alternative to the often expensive of a high-tech security system.
These dummy or fake cameras offer the exact same appearance and feel of a real functioning system, with identical glass, housing, a sturdy bracket, and authentic looking cables - making these units difficult to tell from the real thing.
To make these replica cameras appear even more realistic a red light often features so it appears more noticeable at night.
Installing these cameras is a simple process because no wiring is required, so perfect for those with basic do-it-yourself skills.
All that's needed is to mount the housing in a position that is highly visible at the rear or front of a property.
In addition, there is no need to connect up to a receiver or control box.
If a real security system is already in place, installing several imitation cameras at certain points is often an effective solution to heighten the level of security.
This offers a way to mount cameras at all key points while keeping costs down.
In areas where house burglaries can be a problem, even the smallest of security precautions, such as a dummy camera, can offer an effective deterrent.
A camera fixed to an outside wall can often be difficult to tell if it is an imitation or real at a distance.
Therefore, these offer a quality deterrent without a need to go to the expense of a full set-up.
