Everyone wants to feel safe when they're at home. You want your family to be safe and you want your valuables to be secure when you are not at home. For many people a home security system is the solution. But, a good home security system can be expensive and simply out of reach for some people. One option for people that want the peace of mind of a security system without the expense would be to fake it but do dummy security cameras work? The quick answer to that question is yes but...
Dummy security cameras can work in some scenarios. If a criminal is bound and determined to get into your house he will get into your house whether your security camera is real or fake. Every bank you've ever been in more than likely had several security cameras however, it is also quite likely that that bank has been robbed at some point. With that being said, a security camera will certainly act as a deterrent and studies have shown that the presence of video cameras has effectively reduced crime rates.
The fact that a camera acts as an effective deterrent is something that real cameras share with dummy security cameras. Some of the dummy cameras on the market today are very convincing. The cameras look real and may even have a flashing red light or automatically swivel back and forth adding to the authentic look of the camera. If a criminal can't tell the difference between the real camera and the dummy camera then they will both work equally well as a deterrent to criminal activity.
Ideally your security cameras, whether real or phony, should be part of an overall security system. In addition to cameras it would be a good idea to have things like outdoor lighting triggered by motion detectors, good quality locks on the doors and windows, and even a burglar alarm. The more you can do to protect your house the better but every little bit helps. A thief will usually take the path of least resistance and will generally choose to rob a house without a security system rather than a home with a security system and if a thief thinks he's being videotaped attempting to break into your house he may have second thoughts about doing so.
