When it comes to protecting your possessions, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras have to be one of the best deterrents in home and office security – as no thief would be willing to take the risk of being caught on camera. The downside to this, is that some owners may think that installing these high definition cameras and recording equipment may be out of their price range, but you can keep costs down, and still give the illusion that you employ the use of recording equipment on your premises by using Dummy CCTV Cameras.

Here at Crime Prevention Products we have a carefully selected range of perfect dummy cameras that will help protect your home, office or shop from any opportunistic thief. As many of our dummy cameras are manufactured from real camera housing’s, this makes it near impossible to tell the difference from which are real and which are fake – so for a fraction of the price you CAN beat the burglars on a budget.

When it comes to home burglaries – statistics show that the majority are committed by opportunistic thieves! Statistics also show that if your property has any visible security devices the chances are high that a thief is less likely to tackle your premises and seek out an easier target.

In this technological age, we have security devices that will contact you and inform you that someone has entered you property whilst you’re miles away… You can even logon to the Internet using your SmartPhone and watch the burglars in action. Some devices will send you text messages giving you up-to-the-minute status updates about the security of your property. Then, there are personal alarms that not only emit a deafening sound but will also cover your assailant in a permanent florescent paint.

But you don’t need to spend a fortune on the latest hi-tech security gadgets to keep your property safe!

At Crime Prevention Products we stock Dummy Cameras that are designed to imitate the real ones in every way possible. Modern dummy cameras use real camera housings ensuring that even to a professional eye they’re difficult to tell apart.

Contrary to popular belief, protecting your home does not have to cost a fortune and you can still improve your home security even if you have limited funds. Distraction techniques still work best and prevent your business/home from being the target of an opportunistic burglar.

One of the best ways to do this is to ‘fool‘ the thief into thinking that you have a top of the range CCTV System protecting your property.

Sacrifices need to be made as we recalculate the family budget. However, their is one area that you should consider in your family budget alongside all those monthly utility bills and expenses – home security. Remember, in times of financial hardship it’s more likely that burglars and opportunistic thieves will attempt to take what’s yours in order to make quick and easy money.

If you’re thinking about cutting back or even postponing your home security due to financial reasons then Crime Prevention Products have the perfect solution for you. Home security can be as cheap or expensive as you want to make it. The main thing is to have ‘something’ installed which will make it more difficult for someone to enter your home – even if it is just a decent, high-quality lock on your front/back door.

One of the best methods is to ‘fool’ potential thieves into thinking you’ve got a ‘top of the range security system’ installed and protecting your possessions. Dummy Cameras are the ideal security alternative that doesn’t cost a lot to purchase or install. These dummy cameras are often made by the same makers of real security cameras, so they use the same housing, they simply don’t install the actual expensive camera and internal electrics therefore Fake Surveillance Cameras cost a fraction of the price.

You could also use Dummy Cameras in a combi-system with real CCTV Cameras again to help cut down on cost. Remember the role of a Dummy Camera is to be seen, placing doubt in the mind of a burglar or opportunistic thief and hopefully reducing criminal activity.

There is no doubt that a closed circuit television (CCTV) is a great way to beef up your home security, and the great thing is that it can be run independently from your security system meaning that it can run constantly. However, in today’s financial climate some people may think that adding to their home security is something that can wait. But what if you were to give the illusion of having a CCTV system installed, at a mere fraction of the cost of a fully functioning CCTV system, making someone think twice that has dishonest intentions from carrying out the deed.

Here at Crime Prevention Products we supply a vast range of Dummy Internal and External CCTV Cameras that are indistinguishable from the real thing and can help fool even the best opportunistic thief into thinking that your premises is fully protected 24/7.

However, this doesn’t mean we have to go out and spend hundreds even thousands of pounds on the latest home alarms, driveway alarms or security lights to make sure we sleep safe at night. Crime Prevention Products understand that due to other financial commitments, home owners often find that their money is all but spoken for and therefore the home security system we wanted to install/upgrade is once again put on hold.

Still, people want to ‘Beat the Thief‘, that’s why we provide a full range of Dummy Cameras, that not only look realistic but can fool even the wisest of criminals.

Why Dummy Cameras Are So Effective

Many organisations and small businesses are goverened by budgets and thus instead of fully fitting their full premises under a CCTV system instead opt for a blend of CCTV surveillance cameras and Dummy Cameras spread throughout their property, making it impossible for a potential robber to distinguish between what is real and what is not.

What Makes a Dummy Camera So Realistic

The majority of realistic Dummy Cameras are designed to mimic a CCTV features from the shiny metallic exterior finish to the full Pan and Tilt Bracket in matching colour. Also included is a flashing, bright red LED to further enhance the illusion that the camera is working. However, the Crème de la Crème of Dummy Cameras is that you can fit accessories such as the Dummy Camera Motorised Panning Bracket, which you simply mount your camera onto and it will smoothly sweep left and right silently through 180 degrees making this the most believable dummy camera available anywhere today.

Please be aware that Dummy Cameras are best used to deter minor vandalism, theft or trespassing and are not appropriate for banks, casinos, airports, railways or other high security areas that require high end CCTV security systems.
