Do Dummy Cameras deter theft?

According to most reports out there, the answer would be “yes”. Now you as the reader may think that because Scott Security Source is a leading company in Non-Lethal Self Defense products which include security cameras as one of our main products, that we would say this. Well, yes you would be right. But I encourage you to not take my word for it, but to do the research yourself.

A trespasser or burglar won’t be able to tell the difference (unless they are truly a trained professional crook, and yes, they are “out there”) between a dummy camera or fake security camera without an actual camera inside. 

Most people who have used a “fake” camera state that they successfully deter theft, robbery, and vandalism and so there are many non-functioning fake cameras such as these found in stores and elsewhere.  Because dummy cameras look just like real surveillance cameras, they can be a very cost effective way of making customers (and intruders) feel as if they’re being watched; voila- effective and affordable security for most situations!

It’s not just the business person who can use a real or fake camera; your home or office can also benefit from dummy cameras and fake surveillance cameras as well.  

Why use dummy or fake security cameras? The quick answer is that they are a cost-effective way of preventing crime.  If you’re looking to increase security around your home or office but don’t want to spend money to make this possible, dummy cameras are a good alternative. 

My choice would be to mix your dummy cameras with real cameras on a 2 to 1 ratio. So having one live camera and two dummy cams, or 4 dummies and 2 real, etc. you’ll have better security. TIP: This requires some time on your part, but just like we change our smoke alarms on a regular basis, consider switching  your live camera with one of your dummy cams every once in a while, perhaps writing it on a calendar so you know when you’ve done it. Depending on your situation however, you may have one “hot spot” where you’ll always need a camera. In that case, consider another live camera. Also, when you are planning your business budget, designate funds that can go toward your safety and security needs.

Our thought here at Scott Security Source is that it’s always a good idea to have security cameras protecting you, live or dummy cams. Intruders and would be thieves in your store, office or home usually move on or think twice before pocketing something, because they don’t want to risk getting caught on tape.
