Although the untrained eye can not discern the difference between a doll and a camera actually worked, the debate over its use represents a problem in the security field. Many security experts disagree on how well do these cameras.
Advantages and disadvantages of a dummy security camera
The most remarkable advantage that a dummy camera gives its users is its accessibility. They are simply less expensive than the systems of real cameras, and is composed of a lens, metal body, and one or more cables. In addition, dummy cameras are easier to install because they do not require connections to other PCs. With fewer parts, requiring much less maintenance than real systems.
In addition, the model debate centers camera on many of these systems influences the potential perpetrators. Some experts argue that the presence of these rooms because of discomfort in some people and it is therefore an effective deterrent. Others argue that the thieves will have no trouble identifying the knowledge dummy camera and then simply ignore it.
In a legal context, courts have ruled that cameras provide customers and employees a reasonable level of security. Therefore, the failure of dummy cameras to deter the incidence of crime may incur legal action. Potential customers dummy cameras must weigh several factors:

This light is installed simply to give people the impression of a security system, then it is obvious that serves no other purpose. Because most systems of real security cameras do not understand this point of view, many experts advise not to buy cameras that feature. For many authors of this crime to light is an easily recognizable sign that there is no legitimate security system, allowing them to freely commit any crime they wish.
Other signs that a camera is not real or part of a legitimate security system is the presence of a single cable. To work as part of a legitimate security system, a camera needs a power cable and the other, separated by cable to connect to the rest of the security system, ie , monitors and recorders.
For mobile radars, which seem to move randomly instead of following an individual may also lead to potential authors to the belief that the system is wrong.
Many experts agree that a camera model is legitimate:
A real goal
Real metal casing instead of plastic
A seal of authenticity on the side of the metal enclosure, and two cables
Many promote the use of the dome of “fictitious”. This camera is also available in a variety legitimate effectively raises doubts in people’s minds about the possibility that they are false. Firstly, no lights, blinking or otherwise. Secondly, do not move, it is impossible to know whether the target is followed or not. Thirdly, after installation, no other visible, as the cables to the device.
