What to Look For in a Fake Security Camera for Home
Not all dummy cameras carry the same weight as a deterrent. Here’s what separates convincing from obvious:
- Realistic LED activity: A static camera reads as fake fast — motion-triggered blinking signals an active system
- Weatherproof build: Indoor cameras mounted outdoors deteriorate quickly and look it
- Power independence: Solar or battery-powered units go anywhere without exposing wiring that gives away the decoy
- Mounting position: High placement at standard camera angles increases credibility
