Either than that basically fake cameras hurt you when you need them the most.. Dont cheap out... Just look for full package deals.. Even costco has them @ time.. Ie. 8 camera system with pvr. | Hahahaha, that is the ULTIMATE in cheaping out. Costco package systems = pure junk.

then again, even if real cameras are not that much more expensive, how effective are they? i assume they'd be just as effective as dummy cameras at deterring unwanted activities just by their presence (assuming the dummy cameras look the same)...
but so let's say you catch kids on video tagging your fence or attempting to break open your tool shed... what's that going to do for you? all you're going to get is a vague description of the suspect unless you have a super quality HD security camera where you can see all the facial features of the suspect...
and THAT's only useful if the suspect is known to police or others. you'd be hard pressed to find some random suspect that you caught on camera.

| This does not require super-high-end HD cameras... it can be done quite nicely with DECENT quality, PROFESSIONAL cameras. Quote: |

| My experience, suspects caught on video ARE more often than not, WELL-KNOWN to police. Easily 80% of the video we provide for police, they take one look at the pictures and say, "Oh yeah, THAT guy!"

and the huge police jail style ones side and back of my house looking towards my carport/driveway/ garage door
the reason im looking at dummies because they have no wiring. Its going to be too much work wiring one through the walls. Also i want people to see the cameras so they get scared and run off.
