Deterrence Psychology
Burglars and vandals make quick decisions – visible cameras mean risk, so they move to easier targets. They don’t have time to examine whether a camera is real or dummy. The motion-activated LED adds convincing activity, suggesting the system is actively monitoring.
Cost-Effective Coverage
Real dome cameras cost hundreds plus monitoring fees. Dummy cameras provide deterrent effect for a fraction of the price. Many users combine real cameras at key locations with dummy cameras for expanded visible coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can people tell it’s fake?
From normal viewing distance, the dome design and motion-activated LED are indistinguishable from real cameras. Close inspection might reveal differences, but burglars don’t have time for close inspection.
How long do the batteries last?
Battery life depends on LED activation frequency. Motion-activated design conserves power by only lighting when movement is detected. Quality AA batteries provide months of operation.
Is this weatherproof for outdoor use?
The ABS plastic housing handles normal outdoor conditions. For severe weather exposure, consider mounting under eaves or in somewhat protected locations.
Should I mix dummy cameras with real ones?
Many users do exactly this – real cameras at key entry points for actual recording, with dummy cameras providing visible coverage at secondary locations. This maximizes deterrent effect while managing costs.
