At One Government Center in Fall River, Massachusetts, a new security camera system was installed. While this is a common security measure that many cities are catching on to, the problem was that the installation was kept fairly quiet and some are complaining that fake security cameras were installed. Why were they installed? How much did it cost? Why install fake cameras? Public discussion about this installation is being averted, but the people want answers.
For public areas, such as the previously mentioned government building, it is uncommon for dummy security cameras to be employed. For home or business owners, however, dummy security cameras can be beneficial to deterring crimes or providing the illusion of a more elaborate security system.
Whether you are looking to expand an existing security system or you want to use the dummy camera as a simple deterrent, it’s ever important to find a realistic looking camera. Do research on actual security cameras, evaluate the features and details. Look into fake security cameras and compare the physical differences. Some fake security cameras have a flashing or consistent red light on, while most security cameras lack this. Wiring is important too; you want it to look like your camera is connected to something, otherwise, intruders may catch on.
If you’re expanding a real security system, find a dummy camera that blends in with your system. It would be bad to have a camera stand out from the rest as it may draw attention and provoke questions. Also, be sure to keep quiet about the fake security cameras. The idea is to convince people that your property is highly monitored and any foul behavior will be caught.
Dummy cameras may have a bad reputation, but they can help home and business owners with cost-effective security. Since these cameras are usually on the more affordable, inexpensive side, installing them is an easy solution. Most people will see these cameras and think twice about doing anything. Determined thieves may further investigate. For the most part, dummy cameras can deter petty burglars for a small cost.
