Fake Security Cameras - - a visual deterrent.

 

A home security camera is installed first and foremost as a visual deterrent. They are also installed to make a recording of burglars in the hope of them being identified and arrested.

A fake security camera can perform the first function adequately - if it is convincingly realistic. What it cannot do, of course, is aid in the identification and capture of criminals.

Wouldn't a burglar know that the camera is not real?

If it looks obviously fake then even the most inexperienced criminal will not be deterred from breaking in to your home.

An imitation indoor camera installed outside will fool no one, the dummy camera will need to look like it is weatherproof and designed to be fixed outside.

 

Fake Security Cameras for the home.

Any security camera system, including real functioning security cameras, are not in themselves enough to protect your home. Cameras should be only a part of an overall security plan. Your security consciousness (locking up before you leave your home etc.) is your best weapon against burglary.

Good locks on doors and windows, and a good alarm system should also be part of your plan. A surveillance camera system will be an effective back up. Even fake security cameras can provide a good visual deterrent.

Security Stickers. 

If you are going to install dummy security cameras (or even if you are going to install real cameras,) why not also display Home Security Stickers

Doing so will re-enforce the message that your home is protected.

You don't want fake?  

If you would prefer security cameras for your home to be real functioning cameras then there are many systems available.

Naturally real security cameras cost a little more than fake cameras and you need a system to record events, such as capturing images of a burglar. But the good news is that real security cameras are available in a wide range of prices starting off at very reasonable.

Which do you choose?

Are fake security cameras, used as a visual deterrent, good enough for you? Or would you prefer real functioning cameras?
