Where to Install Dummy Cameras To Maximize Their Effectiveness

Having a security camera system is always an excellent strategy to deter criminality but only if they are properly installed in strategic areas that maximize their visibility. After all, these cameras are installed primarily as a deterrent or preventive measure and making sure that they are easily seen is certainly their most effective application. The same goes with dummy or fake security cameras.

Whether you are using dummy cameras as a supplement or addition to a real video surveillance system in your home or business property, or you’re using them by themselves to serve as deterrence, it is still of utmost importance to install them properly so as not to diminish their security value. They need to be installed in areas where their intimidation value is maximized. The assumption here is that the dummy camera units you are using are of good quality and look like real, working cameras. If they don’t then you should scrap them and look for better ones to use.

Once you’re sure that the cameras look authentic enough then you need to install them in the right areas/locations of your home or business property. Below are some suggestions on where you can effectively implement a fake security camera system (or even a real one):

For home or residential installation:

Front and back doors – one of most vulnerable areas of a home, of course, are the door areas. Hence, intuitively, these areas are also the most ideal areas that a surveillance system (real or fake) should be installed. You could use bullet-type cameras but dome security camera units are also popular for this. Many apartment-dwellers like to stick a dummy dome camera just outside their doors and then forget about it.
Driveways – this area of a house is also one of the most vulnerable and it is advised to install proper lighting in this area as well as a video surveillance system to help dissuade intruders from using this part to gain entry into the house.
Gates and fences – while it is highly advised to install working cameras to watch out for these areas, a fake system could also work. Just make sure that you get good quality, authentic-looking dummy outdoor security camera units.
Window areas – these areas are also some of the most notorious for giving intruders access into your home. Hence, it is but logical to install “eyes” to watch out for them as well.

For stores and other business properties:

Entrance/exit doors – while most businesses should be able to afford real security systems, some may still opt for dummy or fake ones. At any rate, the entrance door to a store, office or any other business-related establishment is a sure candidate for security camera installation.
Cash register areas – hold-ups usually happen at the cashier area of stores. One way to prevent this from happening is to install a security camera (fake or real) in the area where it can be seen by everyone. It is highly recommended to install an actual recording camera for this and any store owner shouldn’t scrimp on this. Many store owners still do and use dummy cameras anyway.
Merchandise areas – convenience stores or malls will also benefit by installing cameras to “guard the merchandise”. They should be strategically installed in areas that are visible to customers. This is a highly effective way of preventing shoplifting and theft.

Whether you wish to use a dummy camera system or a real one, it is incumbent upon you to make sure that you install them properly so as not to diminish their effectiveness. When it comes to dummy cameras, intimidation is the name of the game. Do it right by being smart about where you install them.
