A fake security camera can be just as big a deterrent to burglars and vandals as the real thing.  This fact is backed up by police statistics – if burglars think a camera is real, they will look for somewhere else to be.  Burglars don’t like to take a chance on being recognized.  There are fake security cameras avaiable today that look exactly like the real thing – you can’t tell the differnce by looking at them.  In fact, some models come from the manufacturer of the real camera, they just leave out the expensive “electronic guts”.  When coupled with stickers announcing the use of a surveillance system, fake security cameras provide the same deterrence level as real ones.  More information about the fake security camera.
