If you are looking for a subtle, discrete dummy camera this model is definitely not for you! The black, dome underside of this "camera" is about the same size as a basketball making it stand out like a sore thumb. We have even added a red flashing light to make it virtually impossible to overlook. Unlike many other dummy cameras on the market today this camera looks real because it is a real camera housing that has been modified into a dummy camera. Criminals will be convinced that the area is being electronically monitored and will go in search of an easier target. Another advantage of the dome camera is that the criminal does not know which direction the camera is pointing. Rather than having four or five regular cameras to secure an area, one dome camera can be placed in the middle to give the illusion that the entire area is under surveillance.
