To Fool the Dummies, Use Dummy Cams

Dummy cameras are definitely the cheapest way to go in home security or surveillance.
Although there is a ton of controversy surrounding the topic, consumers must make their minds up on their own on purchasing dummy cameras before purchasing real ones.
It doesn't seem like the best way to go if you want to catch any criminal committing a crime on your protected area.

In fact, they are becoming more high tech in today's world.
Most are real looking, sophisticated and some are even made out of metal.
Some models include a flashing red LED light, giving the camera an authentic touch.
They are complete mimics of the real models and can cost consumers in between $10.

Those accessories can be purchased for even cheaper.
