 Dummy Security Cameras:Fake Home Surveillance
________________________________________________________________________________________________
A Dummy security Camera is a
camera made up to look like a real security camera, but it doesn't actually record any pictures at
all.
So, are they any
good at all at deterring criminals who are intent on robbing you.
The
answer is YES and NO.
WHY?
The
Pros and Cons of Dummy Security Cameras
PRO: The number one
advantage is cost. Dummy Security cameras cost far less than the real thing. This means you can buy quite a
lot of them[less than $30] and so give the impression your property is well protected.
CON: Thugs will
recognise a dummy security camera for what it is, and that is a non working fake Camera.
HOWEVER
This CON is also a
PRO
WHY?
The
thief will naturally assume that all cameras on your property are dummies.
This means you will catch them with one or other of your real outdoor security cameras which are
scatterred around your property.
Dummy Security Cameras work
best when mixed with real life security cameras.
The biggest disadvantage of a Dummy Security Camera is the fact they are easy to spot,
especially by the experienced intruder.
What you need to know about Dummy Security Cameras and what you need to do.
1. Cheap dummy security cameras are easy to spot, so don't buy cheap
2. When your dummy security camera is spotted, you can expect a huge rise in break ins,
because the word will get round that your security is not real.
3. Dummy security cameras only give you a false sense of security. After a break in you have
no camera evidence to identify the intruder. This may cause you problems
claiming on your
insurance.
SOLUTION
Install covert cameras, dome cameras, night vision security cameras, or whichever fits your
circumstances.
Finally remember, the more security cameras you have that are known about, the more
you must have to protect, the more likely you are to come to the attention of major criminal gangs.
SO
Keep your security camera system simple, hidden, apart from the dummy camera, and this
combination of outdoor security cameras will work well for you.
