And the fake camera moves too easily in the fake mounting bracket.Too bad they don't take fake money for it.Oh well, perhaps criminals will be stupid enough to fall for it. And the fake winky-blinky LED light doesn't work. Then the little fake cable popped out of the fake base. Having to hold onto two tiny screws while perched on a ladder 25' in the air while changing batteries is not fun.but that's ok because the fake LED doesn't work anyway so I'll never have to change batteries. Camera came within a few days. Seemed rugged enough at first. And the fake door for the fake batteries is a pain in the neck.
People noticed. Augmented our real security cameras with this one. It appears very real.
Brand new, out of the box, and LED does not flash. Too much trouble to send back to Amazon.com.Kevin
In fact this is the housing for a genuine security camera sold by the same company. They are just not realistic looking. These,"cameras", are very realistic looking. Everything else I needed was included in the box, including the 3 screws.
I can't tell the difference. BOTTOM LINE: Looks like the eyes of an expensive security system (over $1,000) for $30.ADVICE: Don't bother with batteries for the blinking light. Burglars typically "case", a neighborhood, looking for an soft target before choosing which home to enter. Any good burglar knows a blinking light on a camera is a sure sign it is not real. The apprehension rate is high and conviction rate even higher.I don't know about you, but I would much rather a burglar or home invasion criminal judge my house as too high the risk and just move on to another home that has no apparent protection. So I would like to state the, "why", of purchasing a camera.
They are looking for any sign of absent tenants, burglar alarms, dogs, or worst case - cameras. With the current economic recession where I live in San Diego we have have seen a significant increase in burglaries and thefts in our upscale neighborhood. And installation was a piece of cake. I personally haven't used the decals either. First let me say that I have a background in law enforcement that includes burglary investigations. We have all seen burglars, robbers, and other criminals caught in the act of being bad.
All I needed was a screwdriver.
camera was received promptly and was as described on the detailed description. easy to install and looks like the real thing.
