perfect, a fake camera for a fake burglar! if you really want to go cheap just buy the tinted camera dome, harder telling if there's a camera hidden there or not
I bought one of these but returned it because it didn't work…
More useless comments…
Pot, meet kettle.
…meet back pot
So what was the video like?
Are they WiFi?
No, but they are WtFi!
I dont want to get an electrician in to run cables for fake cameras.
Use a fake electrician. Plenty around on A Current Affair ;-)
Fake electricians from a fake TV show for installing fake cameras…
Just do it yourself. You should be able to get a good deal on Infinity or Olsent cabling.
Buy a heap and screw them to random power poles around your town!
If it really lowers the risk of being burgled, then shouldn't insurance companies be handing them out for free to reduce the number of claims?
Nothing is free. Premiums would go up (plus they would pocket more profit in the process). They don't hand out deadlocks or alarms either but they have their place. If your house looks easier to burgle than your neighbours guess which one a thief will try.
Well car insurers already provide free storm alerts to their customers.
My point is that I doubt that a fake camera on a house reduces the risk of crime by much, especially if crime rates in the area are already very low.
For example if 0.1% of houses get burgled each year and a you put up a fake camera I would think your chances of getting burgled are still 0.1%
If anything the presence of a camera could indicate that there is better loot inside and therefore make the place seem even more attractive to thieves.
By default insurance policies require you have a lock. The insusers have no incentive to hand out locks as anyone without one isn't covered and will have their claim denied even if they paid all the premiums.
I don't get storm alerts from my major insurers so not an industry-wide offering but a text message is a cheap easy way for them to protect themselves from a major cost from a higher probability event that's more easily prevented. Different with burglaries.
Not all people have deadlocks esp from a historical perspective. Same with car alarms. Companies can assess risk, refuse to insure or charge more. The point is insurers don't provide the device(s) as standard. Giving people choice to evaluate and mitigate their risk is the best option rather than imposing (or building in a premium cost) for all.
Interesting security companies sell cheap imitation products that look just like their more expensive, real products. You'd think if there was little value they would be the ones making that point most strongly.
I can see the absurd positive to owning one of these. It says to any potential burglar that you cheaped out on home security because there is nothing worth taking in your house.
