Using Fake Security Cameras

Fake Security Cameras

Fake security cameras actually do protect a person’s property.  Why?  When a thief is under the stress of everyday life, he cannot pay the bills or is in need of something, they sometimes resort to stealing. Their trouble and the stress will make them do dumb things. They will be careless and phobic about what they are contemplating as they trip into trouble. Some of these people know better than to try to steal or break into a home. Many have second thoughts and must put their better angels aside in order to accomplish the dark task they set before them. If the potential thief has any kind of a conscience, or common sense, it may take nothing more than a dummy camera to deter the invasion. A dummy surveillance camera is the perfect way to stop thefts born of convenience.

Setting up a fake security camera is a nice way of saying, “hey, mister, you really do not want to do this, now do you?”. When the thief sees the fake surveillance camera, there is no way of knowing if it is real or not. They become more phobic in their futile attempt to get away with stealing. Their conscience is bothering them and the fear of getting caught is making them think that it might be best to forget this venture. Maybe getting a job was the better idea, or going back to school. Seeing fake security cameras sweeping from side to side with a red light blinking will help to deter an amateur thief.

Using fake surveillance cameras does not mean that there should be no real cameras in a given situation. There is a need for cameras of all kinds in a home or business situation. A dummy camera can be set up in plain view. The object of this fake camera is to be seen by the intruder so that they understand that this is all being caught on tape for viewing on the TV show, COPS. It is meant as to deter the thief and chase them away before they do something stupid. Any of the cameras can be set up to move, as if they are surveying the property being guarded. These things will add more pressure to the thief so that they think twice about going through with the theft. A red light will blink on the dummy surveillance camera to attract their attention and put the fear in them.

Using an outdoor dummy security camera is equivalent to advertising, “This house has a security system.  Don’t even bother trying to rob us.”  It tells the thief to move on to the next house.  Keeping the fake cameras outdoors and highly visible is the trick.   The idea is that most would be thieves will take the path of least resistance and plan their attack on a house that has no obvious defense.  So, using fake security cameras outdoor is a great idea that will deter criminals regardless of whether you have a real camera security system in place or not.

The dummy security camera will mount easily to any wall with a simple set of screws. The wire looks like it goes into the metal framework, and through the wall to a video taping unit, but actually ends right there at the wall.  As with real cameras, you can also install a fake wireless security camera.  The thief will not go up close to the camera to check and see if it is real. He is thinking that it is real and does not want to get close enough for certain identification of his face. Motion detectors are part of the fake security cameras and a red light comes on when the thief is in the immediate area. A sweeping movement motion from side to side is activated when motion is detected.

Prices for fake security cameras for your home that have motion detectors and will sweep from side to side are around $15 each, plus shipping. It is a good idea to get 3 or more for various locations around the house. The units do not have to be connected to electricity because they will operate for 6 months on two AA batteries. The peace of mind is well worth the cost of these easy to install units.

Help a would be thief change his mind and save guard your property at the same time. Get a set of fake security cameras for each corner of the home or office. Set them up at strategic locations while you hide the real cameras at the major points of entry. Using a combination of fake security cameras and real cameras is the optimum way to deter criminals. When they see that you care enough about your property to put up cameras, and not knowing if they are fake security cameras or real cameras, their fear of getting caught will kick in and they may very well move along to an easier target.
