Looks like the real thing

I received 4 "cameras" individually wrapped and boxed. Fastening screws are included in the scope of delivery for installation in hollow walls. If you mount the camera on wood, discard the screws. I drilled 3 different sized pilot holes, progressively larger, the third hole was almost the same size as the screw, the screws don't bite. I used my own screws and proceeded. No one has mentioned some of the best features of these cameras. I wanted the single screw for the base to be the top screw, there are 3 screws on the device that allow you to position the device in almost any position, I removed the screw that attaches the camera to the base, I could still install them I wanted. There is a screw allows you to point the front of the camera up and down. The third screw allows you to adjust the rotation. You don't need to remove the screws to raise and lower or rotate, just loosen them. The whole unit is well thought out and implemented. The labels that come with each unit are adequate but large enough that they need to be bent to fit in the box. No problem. I placed the signs in the binder, made sure they were flat and laid the binder on a flat surface, then weighed the signs, half an hour later they were ready for posting. The only downside of these fake devices if I hack there would be no video, that I could show the authorities. Hopefully that's enough to prevent a hack. The piece of spaghetti I'm using as the wire was only attached at one end, it's obvious where the other end goes, so I smeared some glue on each one and then stuck it in the hole. Decrease the chances of the wind blowing it out of the hole.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Very expensive
