Is Using Dummy Security Cameras a Good Idea?

While this site advocates the use of dummy or fake security cameras, in general, it still believes that having real security cameras is still a better strategy in the long run. Using dummy security cameras exclusively can be a little risky especially if there are more than one people who knows that the cameras you have installed are not real. Hence, it is important to only divulge that information only to people that you completely trust. The fewer the people who knows about your fake cameras, the better and more effective they will be.

One popular feature is the blinking LED indicator light that will usually make people believe the camera is indeed real.

The use of fake security cameras is something that should not be taken lightly. It is somewhat of a risky practice and should only be used if there is really no way that you can acquire and install ones that work.
