For those unfamiliar with the term, a dummy security camera is an imitation of a functioning security camera which can not record images. A dummy security camera has pros and cons and you should make sure you understand them clearly before you buy one for business or personal use.
In reality, a dummy security camera can provide the illusion of having a recording device, at a fraction of the cost, as most people are not able to tell the difference between a fake camera and the real thing. You can pick up a dummy security camara, for around $30.00, compared to the real thing which can run into the hundreds of dollars. Not the money you save can be used to purchase additional dummy security cameras, give the appearance of additional security.
It is most useful to use dummy security cameras interspersed with a few legitimate cameras in case criminals are able to spot the fakes. They are then more likely to drop their guard and behave as if they are not being taped, making it much more likely they will do something criminal in camera range and be caught in the act.
Among the myriad disadvantages of dummy security cameras is the ease of spotting them. An experienced criminal can easily spot an inexpensive dummy security camera.
In addition, dummy cameras offer no real protection and only mislead owners into a false sense of security, seeing as how you have no actual proof of who the criminal was in the case of an actual break-in. An effective security system should include some kind of live monitoring, which can not be provided unless something is captured by the camera.
However, keep in mind that once a security camera is discovered to be a dummy, it is no longer a deterrent to criminal activity, and can actually be an incitement to criminals. It is thought that once criminals believe they have found a vulnerability in you security, they will be more willing to take risks on quality of the rest of your security.
