    Why bother? Fake security cameras can be spotted a mile off. No real security has a flashing light on it. Plus, the fake ones always look like a box with a wire out the back, whereas the real ones look like a camera.

    Alot of pound shops have them for dirt.

    But yeah, they look fake, but at nighttime they look pretty real....

    Note to self, bombidol's cameras aren't real.....:D

    They could work at night, but I'd say they're easy enough to spot.
    Unless you were to buy a broken one and put it up...

    Why buy fake? You can pick up a simple camera set, dirt cheap at argos, get the real thing. The only people who dont no those camera's are fake are the blind.

    I'm pretty sure either Aldi or Lidl are doing a wireless security camera at the moment as part of their weekly special offers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    wireless wont work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭spartacus93


    It would work better than a fake one surely........

    second one looks real enough, but why bother, you'd be better off investing in the real thing

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    Real ones don't have a red flashing light. Milk carton painted grey, with neck painted black.

    Not your ornery onager

    Looks to me like bombidol wants a fake camera to trick someone or do an experiment or something with it, although i could be completly wrong :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    Empty box of corn flakes, empty washing up liquid bottle, a black felt tip marker and some sticky back plastic.

    Now all you need to do is set your VCR to record next weeks Blue Peter.

    If you go to a security equipment wholesaler you can purchase dummy cameras that are actually the housings from real cameras minus the circuitry they are not expensive at all and visually look identical to the real thing.
    Forget about flashing lights real cameras don't have them.

    What's worse are those fake security tag detectors at the entrance of shops. It couldn't be more obvious they're fake...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭omnicorp
