I know its fake…but it looks realllly fake…I’m afraid that mounting it anywhere would only encourage thieves to pillage with reckless abandon.

I bought 6 of these cameras for our various offices and they are very noisy. They move alot, but due to the noise they make one would not be able to use them in an office environment. When they move back and forth they don’t really focus at the person who activated the motion sensor, so that appeared to be very unrealistic. Their appearance from a distance might fool some, but they look very much like a toy.

This “camera” works as advertised. Although totally made of plastic, it looks realistic enough (the “lens” is black and reflects some ambient light, like the glass of most cameras out there).
When it detects moviment nearby, it moves in both directions (that is, it pans back and forth) a couple of times, as the red LED light blinks. It uses three “AA” batteries that can last for several months (assuming it is activated around 4 times a day). There’s an ON/OFF switch outside. No wiring needed for installation (it has an actual white wire behind it, faking its insertion into the wall).
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it doesn’t react to movement everytime. Most times it works, but sometimes it just doesn’t (as if it had an automatic on/off timer). But this is not a big issue because even without moving and blinking, it is still there and do intimidate intruders and thieves sucessfully (well, I hope so). Additionally, one of the 3 units I bought just don’t move or blink at all.
If you want a fake camera that really looks like an original surveillance camera, look for those models with the lens built-in inside a metal body, without movements, sounds or blinking LEDs.
