The Dummy Security Camera as a Supplemental Security Device for Homes
One of the useful applications of dummy security cameras is the fact that they can be good crime deterrents that may supplement existing security devices that aren’t of the fake or dummy variety. If you already have real and working surveillance cameras installed in certain areas of the house, you could install fake ones in areas that are not covered by one. Doing this helps create a more robust and complete psychological security barrier that will deter any burglar from carrying out his plan.
As discussed in previous articles, there are many different types of fake security cameras but most of them are simply copies or replicas of real ones. The key is in creating copies that are faithful to those that they copy which means they need to be as authentic-looking as possible. To make them look real, they will need to be cosmetically designed and equipped to look or appear like a working camera. For example, one of the ways fake camera manufacturers accomplish this is by adding cosmetic features that are usually seen in real cameras. Things like LED indicators or making it move or do panning or swiveling movements much like real cameras. Some are even equipped with motion sensors that you will find in many motion activated security camera models which activate a swiveling or sweeping movement to make it look like a real recording unit. Addition of dummy wiring or cord connections is also good ways to make them look real.
Furthermore, the body or camera housing also seems to play a crucial role. I have seen feedbacks in many online surveillance camera stores where buyers complain of the cheap, plasticky build qualities that some units suffer from. The problem with this is that these units may not stand the test of time and may break down in a just a short time of usage. A good dummy security camera needs to have a solid-looking body to look like the real thing. This can be done by making use of metallic material (or even a metallic-looking material) like aluminum for the body. There are actually some designs that accomplish this but they come at a higher price tag. This shouldn’t be a problem especially if you time your purchase with the usual promo discount offerings in many online stores.
An example of this is the Control Products FSC-01 Battery-Powered Fake Security Camera which boasts of a weatherproof, anodized aluminum housing which means many years of erosion-free and authentic-looking use. Please click image below to find out more.
