EggyBum69 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) what is the point of buying Dummy cameras costing upto £30 when you could buy a old one say 380tvl or 420tvl for less off fleabay an use it, or even not use it an save some £ over the cheap china dummys http://www.maplin.co.uk/c/cctv-and-security/dummy-cameras-and-warning-signs an those ones with the red flashing lights that rotate just say to a thief its a fake, there the only ones with red flashing lights suppose you could mod a real mini cam into one an people would treat it as blag one but i would not waste the money myself, sorry for moaning guys just seems daft to me Edited February 8, 2014 by EggyBum69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 lol, true, I sometimes fit fakes as adjuncts to a real system. but NEVER fit the batteries. Exception being the one on the front bulkhead of my van. i think System Q sell the actual empty housings from theirs for a perfect match?

datadiffusion Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Local small chain budget DIY shop has (presumably) done just that. All of a sudden they have 50 traditional cameras, all clearly (once) real, in a small shop. No doubt some work, but can't believe all of them do. And clearly second hand, yellowed cases etc...

datadiffusion Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah if you didn't know better you'd say this shop is all real, joe average would. To be honest it suits the store which other than the goods being sold hasn't beentouched since it was once a finefare in the 1970s! Fake cameras on their own will always bite you on the **** in the end though, as the kids have proven!

datadiffusion Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I know the ones... On a stalk with a rubber fake cable? The only thing supposedly flushed in, in a cornershop full of crud surface wiring and bodges...
