From the outside dummy cameras
appear to be real security cameras, but they lack the expensive recording components inside.
Without physically taking a dummy camera apart, there is no way of knowing it is actually a fake.
Dummy cameras provide added security without the high costs of additional cameras. When a criminal
sees a security camera, or what is thought to be one, he is likely move on. When faced with a tight
budget, dummy cameras are an excellent alternative to fully functioning security cameras.
Various dummy cameras offer an
assortment of capabilities, and it is important that you think about the different features and
abilities available to you when choosing dummy cameras. Your choice of dummy cameras depends on
which elements you feel are the most important and which ones fit your needs and budget the
best.
Features: Flashing or steady LED
"recording" light, Panning motion or steady, Actual camera housings or look-alikes, Actual camera
housings or look-alikes, Bullet style or dome style and Indoor or outdoor structure.
Choosing dome style dummy
cameras will lead burglars to believe you have the ability to view a 360 degree range of an area,
while bullet style dummy cameras give off the perception that a close-up picture of his or her face
is being recorded.
Home Use: If you have already
installed surveillance equipment in your home, but would like to give the impression of having more
cameras, dummy cameras are the way to go. Burglaries are not hasty crimes. Homes are usually staked
out by burglars before any crime takes place, and the presence of cameras, especially more than
one, is enough to send any burglar on his or her way. Business Integration: Each year in the United
States, retailers lose approximately 10 billion dollars due to shoplifting and 15 billion dollars
due to employee theft. The strategic placing of dummy cameras is an efficient and inexpensive way
to deter pilfering. Placement should be well thought out, keeping in mind the three locations which
will get the most attention. (1) The front entrance (2) The back corners (3) The back door or
loading dock.
The power of suggestion offered
by the presence of dummy cameras is an effective tool in lowering your costs due to theft.
You deserve top notch security
of your home and your business, no matter your budget constraints. The integration of dummy cameras
is a cost-efficient and unproblematic way to ensure the safety of your home, family, business, and
employees.
