Fake Can Look Real

Since dummy cameras aka fake cameras are non-functional, they are generally used in environments where the only need for a security camera is to deter minor theft and vandalism, such as homes, small businesses, restaurants and convenience stores. Professional thieves have the experience to recognize a dummy camera, so they may not stop these people from acting.

The cheapest fake security cameras can be recognized by not having real lenses (the “lenses” are just an opaque piece of plastic), and just one cable, whereas the real cameras have one image cable and one power cable. Fake security cameras definately serve a purpose, but if you’re going to go with fake, don’t be a dummy, spend the few extra dollars and make sure it looks real.
