I think making some fobbed out sign is more effective
Ie. "you no vandalism"
"we watch you"

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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

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.

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.
