The action of deterring crime with or without a light and
real camera.
Nettohome indicated their camera has a thick housing and
base where a coaxial cable would be. Dummy cameras are effective if the burglar
or offensive employee doesn't believe the camera is real. Some security experts
feel merchants need a dummy burglar to trick them, as experienced criminals
know the difference. Nettohome said that could be because of the flashing or
blinking light associated with mock security cameras. Most real cameras do not use flashing lights, and our blinking light is
optional to users as it requires batteries.
Flashing red lights will draw attention to a camera and
change the behavior of the potential criminal, but not all criminals will know
it's a fake. Most real cameras do not have flashing lights, so
using the light function may tip a burglar to the lack of authenticity of the
camera. Security experts also say that cameras without wires or coaxial cables
also demonstrate that there isn't any video surveillance. Our camera has a thick housing and base where a coaxial cable would be
housed. The camera is an actual real camera
housing without the camera, so thieves can not tell the difference with
certainty. Security experts countered that a real camera will show evidence of
a break in and can be used by police and courts against intruders once caught.
Yes, real cameras do reveal the crime, but unfortunately most
burglary crimes are not solved and most stolen items are not recovered.
It is also less common for retailers and homeowners to prosecute
small crimes. Real cameras and real video surveillance
are essential in many areas and especially when monitoring child care, or for
larger retailers and public places with high pedestrian traffic is evident.
Fake cameras have a role in
security, but are not the only source for business and home security systems. A
homeowner or business needs an overall plan and strategy to combat crime in
their environment. Dummy cameras fit into many security plans
as a deterrent. A person can find out more regarding dummy cameras by typing
