Looks real. We have a doorbell and some "cameras" (that don't look like cameras). It has a battery that you put in there so it lights up like a real camera at night. Our cell is about 10-12 feet off the ground and I think it's real. I hope that when the burglar tries to dodge the cameras that the burglar doesn't see the cameras with the rings because they don't look like cameras (they look like headlights) so he will dodge that thing and walk past. Ring. I've worked in law enforcement and I'm impressed with how it looks.
