Dummy Cameras: Fool the Robber & Protect Yourself
Having real security cameras installed is a good way to observe people and spot a crime. However, in some cases, dummy (fake spy cameras) can also do quite a good job protecting the property.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't use real cameras. In such places like banks or gas stations for instance, real cameras are simply must. But for home or small business owners, fake cameras might be a really cheap and effective solution to protect their merchandise and money.
What are Dummy Cameras?
If you haven't heard a lot about dummy or fake cameras, then all you should know is that they do not record anything and they cost much cheaper compared to real spy cameras.
Dummy cameras may have flashing lights, motion sensors, tilt or zoom options; they may even have wires. But it's all just to make them look more realistic. They do not use any VCR or DVR systems to capture the view. Their main purpose is to fool burglars into thinking that they're real and this way preventing them from taking any actions.
What are the Options?
You might think that you don't need to stir your head much before buying a dummy camera online, right? Buy any fake cam, set it up and you'll have a great crime prevention tool. Well, not exactly. If you choose a camera that doesn't look realistic even for a newbie, you might simply waste your money. If you set up a dummy security cam in the wrong place, you also might not achieve the results you're seeking. So let's check out some of the options of dummy cameras and see what's best for you.
Actually, there are fake cameras that turn around the axis whenever they spot someone moving. This is one of the most expensive dummy cameras. They contain motion detectors, which move the camera whenever they spot something or someone moving.
Additionally, you could find cameras that tilt or zoom. These are more realistic than those which do not move at all. Whenever someone sees a moving camera, they naturally assume that it's real.
Cameras with flashing lights are also powerful. They might use a combination of motion sensors and LEDs. When sensors detect a movement or a heat, they give a signal to the LED to start flashing and this way inform a suspect that he's being monitored.
Where to Put Fake Cameras?
If you have a small business, you could put fake cameras near the building. They'll definitely make someone think twice before intruding into your store.
Warehouses are another perfect place for dummy cameras. If there's a large warehouse, then it might be a good idea to put several dummy cameras. One camera might not prevent a burglar from committing a crime, but 5 or 6 cameras placed in different corners can easily stop the thieves.
You could use fake camera along with real ones. You could have the real cameras monitoring and recording the most important places where monitoring is required, like entrances and exits. Dummy cameras in the meantime could be placed in such locations as corners of the corridors, ceiling of the room or outside (near the windows, parking lots).

What is the name of this camera effect?
Okay...I was taking pictures of moving things using a slow frame rate camera, and the pictures came out like some parts of the moving things weren't even there...for example after seeing this effect taking a picture of a crazy bouncing ball, I waved my hand in front of the camera and took a flash while my hand was in motion (awfully fast I might add), and my fingers didn't show up. Did this several times, and was baffled. Is there a reason for this?
It's just called motion blur. Yours is a more extreme effect than just a little bit of blurriness. It's a good way to make a fake ghost picture, by the way. Have someone move a little using an exposure of a few seconds. Any part that moved will come out lighter, and some background will show through. Move too much though, and it will be so light as not to show at all.
