Perfect decoy camera.
920421
Updated April 2017: Added some photos.  This is almost two years after installing them.

Originally, I didn't screw the mounting screw in deep enough, so one of them was hanging on one screw for a while, revealing it as a fake.  I tightened all the screws and jammed both decoy cameras on there very tight -- they will not be moving any time soon.

Also, the Chamberlain motion sensors pointing down from the eaves is a really useful touch.  It's a visual deterrent, and it does alert me if somebody (or the neighbors dog) comes up on my porch.  It's a bit like an anti-stalker device.

-------------original review from 2015-------------------------
FYI: I protected it on both sides with Chamberlain drive-way motion sensors, pointed down from the eaves.  I placed the base station for the motion sensors close enough to the doors inside that a potential thief will hear them beeping as he approaches the rear entry.  Just one of several of things to freak out a potential burglar who approaches my back patio or garage door.

From a distance, the decoy camera with the two motions sensors three feet on each side is plenty to send a potential thief to the next house.

Happy protecting!

This camouflage netting was perfect and easy to use for disguising my satellite dish. I could see the grey dish and the steel mounting pole from my kitchen slider and it looked ugly. Now it just blends in with the surroundings. I also wrapped the pole and arm in camouflage burlap. There is no noticeable loss of HD reception on my TV also. I'm happy with this great product.

I love this fake security camera! So easy to install and though it's not real, the results seem pretty real to me. Unless you tell somebody its "secret", nobody I think will really know unless it's physically dislodged and disassembled.

I have a bunch of the security cameras and one day it occurred to me that I could use them to spy on the many bird nests that seem to pop up in my yard. I tried Jerry-rigging mounts all last summer, and this year I decided there had to be a better way.

In steps this beast. Very well constructed and attaches to almost anything! I've had no problems with attaching it to bush limbs for mounting a video camera over various nests this year -- and even though it's been outside for over five months now, it's still in excellent shape. (I did lightly wipe it with some gun oil at the beginning to stave off rusting, and it's worked like a charm.)

Great tool!

The physical make up of this camera and mounted in a location that is not reachable gives the authentic look of a real security camera. Blended in with the real cameras around the property it gave added sense of security. At the same time they make great deterrents, paired with the Smile You're On Camera" signs  around the property get the job don. The led lights that illuminate at night give the authentic impression of a real working camera.

I live in a fairly good neighborhood, but every once in awhile you will hear of some small crimes going on. I got this dummy sercurity camera because my husband works late nights and he wants to make sure that the kids and me are not harmed while he is at work. He has install the camera, right outside my front walk way. I will now explain how to use the fake camera. First you slide the top of the camera off. Next you open the tray where you will not put 2 AA battery, which does not come with the camera. Now you slide the top of the camera back in place. Then you will notice the red light come on. This will fool people into think this is a really camera. Finally find the perfect spot that you would like to put the camera and screw into your wall. The screws come in the box. Lastly just for extra precaution, in the box you will find a fake 24 hours survillance poster and a fake bullet cctv poster as well. The install is easy and now when I criminal pass by they will think twice before they come to your house.  I have attached photos of items before installation. You should try for yourself, I absolutely love it. I did recieve this product for free to give my honest opinion.

Outstanding value and very accurate with capturing targets before reaching door.

This is a high quality and believable looking fake security camera. A closer look at it reveals an internal camera.  In most cases it's enough to fool any prowlers. After all, they suspect they are actually being photographed or caught on recorded security video. I suggest NOT installing any batteries. The flashing red light may make it appear fake.  Recommended. At a reasonable price.

I bought two to use as dash cameras. Very discreet when installed behind the rear view mirror. I recommend the adhesive window mount and the super capacitor. I thought aiming would be difficult without a way to preview the image but it's not critical. Very pleased with the video quality both day and night. Configuration was easy but there are lots of options. Download and install the configuration software, and download and casually read the user guide before your camera arrives. After you've used the camera a little, read the guide again to get the most out of this little gem.

Delivery took twice as long as guaranteed, so I was unable to use during my first hunt. Amazon stood behind the delivery guarantee and took care of me right away. Have used decoy for about 30 minutes. So far it has performed as advertised. Solid construction! The ground stake is metal and screws into a brass/metal nut. The plastic housing is thick and tough. Has adjustable speed control which I like. Have not tried to attach to the ICOtec call yet. Only small thing is the power light. I know most power lights are typically red, but it seems like green would be a better color for predator hunting at night or low light. I have looked into a couple companies that sell red lights for my chicken runs/coops. The objects they sell usually have TWO small red lights I assume to imitate eyes. These are sold as predator deterrents and they get good reviews. Overall so far I am very happy with decoy. The key will be how it does in cold weather which is when a majority of predator hunting is done in my area.

This camera looks identical to the real thing....still do a double take when I look up at it.  Even looking directly into the lens, you can't tell it's not 'live'.......Great buy and a small price to pay for a bit of a deterent.

I have managed the installation of many surveillance systems as a part of my line of work, and I can tell you that 80% of the effectiveness of a surveillance system is the visible presence of cameras (and warning signs). For the price, you cannot beat these dummy cameras. Are they perfect? No, but you can fix a few things...

First and foremost, I sand off the silly white writing on the sides of the weather cover. I then spray paint it gloss black to simulate metal and then reattach. I don't install the batteries, since real cameras do not have blinking red lights.

Thats it! You now have a very realistic looking camera! That said, I recommend some signs and stickers to remind potentially unwanted visitors of the "fact" that you are recording. Search for Security Camera Warning Sign Sticker Outdoor Kit Good for Cctv or Fake Camera to see what Im talking about.

Good luck!

I am a bit of a cheapskate sometime and always look at value. This fake camera is one of the best I have seen and is a good buy. Check the size before you order; it's a little large for some residential installations, but would be perfect for any business situation. I already have a couple smaller ones on the house and garage, but wanted something for an outbuilding that would stand-out. This does the job very well. Since it's on an outbuilding a little distance from the house, I decided to modify it to make it appear to be a wireless camera. It was fairly easy to do for me since I keep a lot of electronic junk around. I removed both black 'cables' and replaced them with one pair of black/red wires to simulate a power cord. I just made a knot inside the box and pinched the other end under the mounting flange when I installed it. I drilled a hole in the back for a BNC chassis connector and used an elbow adapter and old 'rubber-duck' antenna on it. Now, it looks like a wireless camera, and not out of place on a shed. Build quality is very good and I expect it to last a long time. Having a warning sign on the property completes the security 'theater'. Most criminals look for easy targets.

Good looking decoy for the money. It comes folded up in a small box, a few minutes with a blow dryer and it'll regain original form. However, I'm not a fan of the detachable head, but I'm sure a couple dabs of gorilla glue will fix that problem

This does a great job of hiding my nest cam. It plugs in so I can set it and forget it. Here's the down side of all of these clocks that camouflage a camera. I hear very little sound, camera can't be rotated and night vision is not great. I love it because it gives me the ability to make sure my mom is ok, without her knowing I placed a camera in her house. I would definitely purchase this again if I need to conceal another camera. Also I use the nest at 720p instead of 1080p since its enclosed in this case and I don't want it to get too hot.

This looks exactly like my neighbors REAL security camera.  Just exactly.  As recommended by other reviewers, I turned the name printed on it (UniquExceptional) to the BACK and also did not install a battery for the real ones have no lights.  This dome, along with some outdoor lighting makes me feel much more secure.  What burglar is going to walk up and check it out closely anyway?

No brainier!  For less than $10 this is a good security deterrent item.  Easy to install, looks like the real thing next to my security lights under the eaves.  I use d-link cameras to capture video inside the house.  This one is just to make drive by opportunists look elsewhere and I am very happy with it.  It also comes with a 3x5 or so bright yellow CCTV sticker for a window.  Very visible from the street.
