Review on Cost-Effective CCTV Simulated Dome Camera: VideoSecu Imitation Dummy Security Camera with Flashing LED Light 3PZ by John Brouillard

In short, as explained below, think twice about expecting a blinking LED. Design problems cause problems in installation and in the long run when changing batteries. Otherwise for $6 five stars for a very realistic looking camera when installed in a home or office that looks like it can afford security cameras. And if you have other working cameras. Just check Revain for Dropcam and other Wi-Fi cameras. They all have one or more LEDs that you cannot turn off, as cameras rely on dimly emitted light to see in total darkness. If you want to use a blinking LED to work, this camera is a real pain: - The batteries are mounted on the back (the part that attaches to the ceiling) so you have to remove them completely to change the batteries. - The mounting holes are "teardrop shaped" as you slide and twist the camera onto the precisely placed screws to "lock" it in place. But the camera doesn't come with a mounting template, so either make your own template or blind drill holes and then you'll need the perfect sized screws to rotate and secure. camera base. The problem is that the dome houses the lens, which is connected to the battery compartment at the bottom of the camera with the thinnest/shortest wires I've seen. So, if you don't have 4 hands, when you drill holes/screws or remove the cam to replace the battery, you have to lower the dome enough that the slightest "twitch" separates one or both wires, allowing you to work against gravity have to solder. Yes, happened to me. Otherwise, if you don't want to blink the LED, installation takes 5 minutes: just cut the wires, drill through the inside of the base, and flip the clear dome back to make sure the lens is facing the right way . so you have to solder against gravity.
