Review on πŸŽ₯ WALI Bullet Dummy Fake Surveillance Security CCTV Dome Camera (TC-S1) - Indoor/Outdoor with LED Light + Security Alert Sticker Decals, Silver by Tyler Kota

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Possibly the best $10 I've ever spent on Revain

I live in a rural area with several neighbors and I have shared the cost of a dumpster as a solution to not having a good garbage collection service and have done so for several years. We had a few issues with intruders and unauthorized use, but nothing major. For some inexplicable reason (though I'd bet that it is linked to the opioid crisis) this has become a BIG problem. The trash can was regularly abused. On at least two occasions it was so crowded that legitimate users couldn't use it. It was seen by at least 2 homeowners and we were all awake trying to catch people in the act but never did. We even searched the bags a few times (dumpster diving) and found mail (and empty OxyContin bottles) by name. The sheriff's deputy was repeatedly called. MPs did go to these houses and people denied using the bin (as it should) but we thought the prospect of being charged with trespassing would put them off. It's not like this. We set up video cameras did identify one person, but the judge refused to issue warrants. I bought this fake camera. I mounted it on a pole that was in front of the dumpster and about 10 feet from the pole. A black wire is run the full length of the pole, going into the ground. I installed an electrical junction box under the fake chamber, ran a wire through the box and into a piece of conduit that also goes into the ground. It gives the distinct impression that the wire on the pole (whatever it may be) runs underground and feels on top of the camera tripod to provide power. Since I installed the camera, there hasn't been a single case of trespassing or unauthorized use! In four months we've already made more than my money was worth and maybe saved some perpetrators from pain with the pills. pulled the wire through the box into a piece of pipe that also goes into the ground.
