Having a security camera can be very expensive. In today’s digital technology of surveillance and video security, a fake security camera can be less expensive compared to the real thing. Fake security cameras or dummy cameras just look like the real thing since it uses the same cover and mount as to what a real security camera would look like but minus the functionality.

A fake outdoor security camera can be placed in areas that may be complicated to access for a real camera and also a very effective method to deterring crime. Visibility of these cameras helps exploit this deterrent factor to improve the functional capabilities of a real camera system and minimize the overall cost of the system.

Unlike real security cameras, fake security cameras are very cheap and require no additional equipments like digital video recorders or monitors. Having these equipments can also be expensive together with the maintenance cost. Digital recorders is most likely to have the highest maintenance cost since the data to be recorded in a storage media must be changed regularly.

Fake security cameras do not need to be connected to a network and can look very realistic for someone who has no idea of what a real one looks like. Without the functionality of a real camera, a fake camera can still deter theft, vandalism and other criminal actions. A person who is aware that there is a security camera in the premises is not likely to commit an offense when they know they are being monitored.

Fake security cameras will not help in catching a perpetrator. Some criminals do not care if there are security cameras in the vicinity. It is a must to use real cameras if security is your primary concern. Fake cameras should be used together with real cameras to expand your security system.
