Hi,
I have a friend who has a problem. He and his family live next to some very unsavory types. The neighbors and their guests have left garbage and drug paraphernalia in my friend’s yard. The neighbor’s guests (up to fifty a day) have a tendency to visit at all hours but curiously only stay for about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, my friend and his family can’t move at the moment.
So my friend decided to protect his property with a camera system, that way if his neighbors or their guests decided to pay him a visit he would have video evidence. I thought this was a good idea until he told me he wanted to mount the camera on the roof of his front porch and point it toward the street of his neighbor’s house. I told him that he should hide the camera while taking surveillance but he wanted them to know they were being watched. So I suggested that he hide the real camera and purchase a dummy camera and mount it to the roof of his porch. The dummy camera is inexpensive, lets people know they are being watched, and can be used as a decoy for a more expensive system. My friend decided to follow through on his original idea and within a month someone managed to come up on the blind side of the camera and destroy it, which was a shame.
I like the PTZ Dummy Camera with LED. It looks exactly like the real camera with a flashing red light, which only requires 2 AAA batteries. The dummy camera is water proof so it can be installed outside. It can also be mounted in a variety of ways since it has a hinge. It can be used to discourage random criminals or as a decoy for more expensive systems.
Good luck and stay safe.
Later.
