Dummy cameras make it possible to put criminals on the wrong track. If you use a realistic dummy camera, they will think that you are recording camera images. Keep in mind, however, that a seasoned burglar can see clearly whether it is a real security camera or dummy camera. Are you placing a dummy camera in a difficult to reach location? Then the chance will be smaller that someone thinks you are using a dummy camera.
Use dummy security camera
When you use dummy cameras it is important to pay attention to the way you use your cameras. Think about where you put them and what warnings you display with, for example, stickers. Think of:
- A dummy camera must be visible. When you hang your dummy camera in a dark corner, nobody will see it.
- The way in which your dummy cameras are 'connected' is important. You may even use a cable and conceal it in a realistic manner.
- Use multiple dummy cameras. When you hang your cameras in a store, it makes sense if there are surveillance cameras with the most expensive items. When you secure your home, you pretend that the entire home is shown. At least at the front, back and on the sides of your home, it makes sense if there are surveillance cameras.
- By placing stickers behind the windows you pretend that a professional security company has visited. They are used to hanging stickers as an extra deterrent.
Finally, it is important to think logically about how you use dummy cameras. You must do this as realistic as possible! You cannot hang a security camera for outside and a camera for inside not outside. The same applies to the height at which you hang your camera, most security cameras hang at a height of 2.5 meters or even a little higher.
Use a dummy security camera or real security camera?
When you have doubts about real surveillance cameras or dummy surveillance cameras, it is important to make a decision. For example, you should take into account that some burglars, despite dummy cameras or real security cameras, still make the most of it. If you have dummy cameras in this case, it is more difficult to prove your evidence to the police. In this case, you cannot provide evidence in the form of camera images. In contrast, dummy cameras are a lot cheaper than a real security system. If the chance of a burglary is small or if you do not need evidence, dummy cameras will be interesting.
