I think making some fobbed out sign is more effective

Ie. "you no vandalism"

"we watch you"

And so on

fobs wouldn't know vandalism :P

also, yeah those dummy security cams work... i think. my buddy got one installed in his backyard when kids used to tag his fence and the side of his garage. after he installed it, he said he hasn't had anymore problems lol

insomniac 10-19-2010 07:31 AM

maybe... but when you put it somewhere dont exagerate it.. like putting it fairly low

Mugen EvOlutioN 10-19-2010 07:35 AM

so who are you trying to fool again?
:p

ilvtofu 10-19-2010 07:36 AM

depends... where do u live? :D

how much do they cost though, I think basic security cameras can be had for under 200?

You'd be surprised how many of those are real cameras... and very pricey ones, too.

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaating

Studies show dummy cameras are 46.84% effective at reducing theft.

BrRsn 10-19-2010 10:10 AM

Why would you buy dummy cameras if you can have real ones for around $70-$150 a piece if you know where to look. We installed two wide angle, full color cameras with night vision and a switch for under $250. Its not thaaat expensive.

give it a shot

Vinny G 10-19-2010 11:03 AM

just steal an alarm force sign off someone's lawn and put it into yours

Blinky 10-19-2010 11:18 AM

Whatever you do, don't try hanging up metal pie plates. Punk kids will come onto your property, disrespect your family, and take down the pie plates.

Berz out.

oldsnail 10-19-2010 11:55 AM

smoked domes might have an higher chance than just a dummy plastic cameras. at least it is less obvious

Dragon-88 10-19-2010 12:06 PM

What are you using it for?? You can go really cheap and get a wireless securicam..
http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=664
$150.00
and all you need is a wireless router and power connection.

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.
