Solar-Powered Dummy CCTV Camera with Flashing LED for Home Security
Give porches, sheds or small businesses an instant under surveillance look—no wiring, no subscription fees. This life-size dummy camera mimics a real bullet-style CCTV unit down to the 360° adjustable bracket and faux conduit cable. A top-mounted solar panel trickle-charges the built-in cells by day, while a red status LED blinks every two seconds after dusk, signalling that recording is active.
Key Features & Specifications
- Solar panel powers the flashing LED; accepts 2 × AA rechargeables for cloudy periods (batteries not included)
- Single red indicator blinks every 2 s to mimic IR night lighting
- Weather-resistant ABS housing; rated for garages, carports and garden walls
- 360 ° swivel/tilt bracket for ceiling or wall mounting; 20 cm dummy cable enhances realism
- Dimensions 26 × 8 × 15.5 cm; weight ≈ 0.28 kg—full-size for maximum visual impact
Ideal Usage Scenarios
- Garden shed or allotment: deter tool thieves where mains power is unavailable.
- Shop front or cafe terrace: combine with real cameras—burglars won’t know which units are live.
- Holiday home: leave up year-round; the solar panel keeps the LED flashing between visits.
- Warehouse loading bay: mount above roller doors to warn night-shift intruders.
- Private parking space: fix to a carport beam to discourage catalytic-converter theft.
Why This Product Is the Smart Buy
Studies show visible cameras can cut opportunistic break-ins by over 50 %. For the price of a padlock you gain 24/7 visual deterrence, zero running costs and five-minute installation—perfect for renters, small businesses or anyone upgrading security in stages. Pair it with motion lights or window stickers for even stronger psychological impact.
Interesting Facts About Dummy Cameras
The first fake CCTV housings appeared in the early 1990s as budget “gap fillers” for retail chains. Modern solar versions use the same low-draw LEDs found in bicycle tail-lights; a full summer charge can power the blink for weeks, while ABS plastics resist UV yellowing 40 % longer than older PVC casings.
