Review on WALI Dummy Fake Security CCTV Dome Camera with Flashing Red LED Light, 2-Pack, White - Includes Security Alert Sticker Decals (SDW-2) by Daryl Fitch

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't use the flashing red light, it will immediately tell thieves it's fake!

I read reviews on the site about the performance of dummy security cameras and in general they can be useful, but a flashing red light is just a sign for thieves that it is is fake, like real security cameras there are none, which is why I suggested not using them, and of course that means no fiddling with batteries! I suggest attaching a cable to the camera to make it appear as if it is actually connected to a surveillance device. You can use a short coaxial cable like cable TV. There are many easy ways to make it look real no matter what surface you place it on. I have vertical siding, which made it easy to install a camera through a slot in the siding and thread the cable through the slot, tape it under the camera and wrap a piece around it to secure it in the slot in the siding to keep. on the other side (see photo). I think using the warning stickers that come with the camera is acceptable, but the camera looks pretty convincing without them. to hold it in the slot in the siding. on the other side (see photo).
