![]() ![]() You'll need to provide your own 8-128GB card though. An SD Card slot means you can record locally – either 24x7 or event-based. The cost of entry isn't high, and nor is it compulsory to establish high ongoing costs. The IP66-grade weatherproofing should reassure, though the casing's design certainly reveals its reliance on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with the pronounced antennae. The camera can detect human movement, has LEDs for full-color night vision, and has a higher-than-many 2K resolution. The motorized camera not only gives you all-round vision, but the movement of the lens acts as a great deterrent. This is one of the best 360-degree outdoor security cameras (opens in new tab) - and a steal at the price. We've covered the best outdoor security cameras (opens in new tab) and best indoor security cameras (opens in new tab) elsewhere in Digital Camera World, but below you'll find a couple which fulfil the primary requirement of this list: accessible pricing. This, in turn, brings the option of immediately responding to any intruders via two-way audio (or asking your partner to get the milk as you see them going to the garage). Or go for a camera which isn’t recording to a pricey recorder all the time, but gives you the option of doing a little surveillance via a device you already have and a phone app. A real camera which isn’t powered up is just an effective deterrent to most who see it, and it still leaves you the option of connecting it later. Alternatives to fake security camerasĪn alternative to buying a dummy camera is to buy a modestly-priced camera and then simply not connect it to anything. Note, however, that there's no LED, so unless the area you're installing it is already lit up at night, they might not been seen. Furthermore, the Swann Dummy Security Camera can be used both inside and out, is nicely priced, and is nicely adjustable (both up and down, and side to side). This one is housed in the same design as the company's real working security cameras, making it near-impossible to tell the difference. Worried about fake branding giving away your fake camera? Then here's a pretty effective solution. Perhaps the only aspect which would make me ponder its reality is the label ‘Security Camera’, where one might expect a real brand. Even at close examination, the fake cable run and shielding are convincing. The bracket and adjustable position make it easy to place on the corner of a structure, so it won’t be missed and still appear to be monitoring your chosen spot. ![]() In terms of putting off unwelcome visitors, once again the blinking light is behind the main glass – weirder here than with a dome – but the presence of fake infra-red lights and lens shielding looks convincing. You will need to supply your own Ni-Cad rechargeable, but at least this will be less frequent than with other light-blinking options. The AlfaView has a better solution, with no apparent compromise: a solar panel which can top up the charge of AA batteries, which keep the red LED blinking every three seconds. There are many prospective criminals who decide to look elsewhere on seeing a blinking light – why take the risk? – but for many fake cameras this is a powered feature which nudges them one step closer to the effort and cost of maintenance associated with a real CCTV camera.
