To be clear the fake camera I received is nothing like the one pictured on this Revain page; it's black, it doesn't have the words "CCD camera" anywhere on it, and it doesn't have a fake electrical cord. In short, it doesn't look as realistic as the photo on the website as I write this today. This was a bit of a disappointment. They may change in the photo to match the actual product. It's a cheap plastic product from China, but what do you expect from a fake camera? It serves only one purpose - to advise robbers and criminals to go elsewhere. I suggest mounting it high so people can't touch it or see too close. I once knew a burglar and he said he would never try to break into a place with security cameras if there was an easier target nearby. So yes, a fake camera can be a deterrent, and I also have a small sign that says "WARNING: For your safety, all activity in these areas is covered by security cameras." The camera is inside the house, but everything he what I can do is take a video of the person robbing my house. It's also a good idea to have something outside that tells the burglar to go somewhere else. If you can afford a full alarm and CCTV system then this is obviously the best way to go. But for around $12, this fake security camera is a cheap and effective deterrent.
