You can afford to buy a security camera system. That\u2019s a good starting point. The camera does not have to be cheap and it doesn\u2019t have to be a fake security camera. There has been a trend lately, or higher searches on Google, and a lot of misinformation spreading around the net around using dummy cameras, and even using old iPhones to use for\u00a0security cameras<\/a>. While we applaud the do it yourself (DIY) attitude of homeowners and businesses, we also want to be responsible. We are in the security and surveillance industry and our recommendations might sound biased but I would like to give our humble opinion on using \u2018fake security cameras\u2019 vs \u2018 real security cameras\u2019.<\/p>

Let\u2019s say that you do have a dummy\u00a0security camera installation in DFW<\/a>, and someone isn\u2019t deterred by that. Then what? To Whom do you complain? Security cameras do serve as a deterrent to crime, that has been established, but what happens in the event that a criminal goes through with an act of robbery? What do you do if a crime is committed on or around your property, and your cute little dummy camera didn\u2019t catch anything? You are out of luck.<\/p>

With the advent of\u00a0IP security cameras<\/a>\u00a0and technology, the price of surveillance has dropped, and it has dropped drastically. For instance, we now have cameras that are well made with technology from trusted supplier AXIS. These\u00a0AXIS<\/a> Companion series\u00a0can be had for under $130.00. We also have\u00a0wireless security cameras<\/a> that are ideal for children\u2019s rooms, or can be used as baby monitors and have 2-way audio, with 1 megapixel and better, for around $107.00. The cameras can be mounted to the ceiling, or simply rest near a child\u2019s playpen or bed. We have security camera systems that can be custom designed for exactly what you need. There is no reason to rely on cheap technology, fake cameras or fake signs. If you only need one camera, we can do that. Cameras can be connected to an existing lap-top or desktop for monitoring or storage, or we can set it up with a storage device. We can even put together a small system that includes everything you need for a more\u00a0\u2018hands off\u2019 system<\/a>.<\/p>

Again, we are in the security and surveillance industry, this Is what we do; so in that sense, we rely on customers buying security cameras. We are also part of a community, and we worry about the members of that community. It does no one any good if we have a service that people really do need, and the public isn\u2019t informed about their options. We would not be in this industry if it didn\u2019t help people. We\u2019ve been serving the Dallas and greater DFW security camera consumer area for over 5 years, and although we are an E-commerce company that has clients around the world, we are focused on how we can help locally. Please contact our team of experts (we really know our information here) for free consultations or advice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fake or dummy security cameras are non-functional cameras that are designed to resemble real security cameras. They are often used as a deterrent to potential criminals who may be deterred by the presence of a camera. However, there are some key differences between fake and real security cameras:<\/p>

  1. Functionality<\/strong>: Real security cameras are functional and record video footage that can be used as evidence in the event of a crime. Fake cameras, on the other hand, do not record any footage and are only meant to look like real cameras.<\/p><\/li>

  2. Cost<\/strong>: Fake cameras are typically much less expensive than real security cameras<\/a>. They are often made of plastic and do not contain any electronics or wiring, which makes them much cheaper to produce.<\/p><\/li>

  3. Maintenance<\/strong>: Real security cameras require maintenance and periodic checks to ensure that they are working properly. Fake cameras, however, require no maintenance or upkeep as they do not contain any functional components.<\/p><\/li>

  4. Placement<\/strong>: Real security cameras need to be placed strategically to capture the best footage of an area. Fake cameras, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere as they do not need to capture any footage.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

    The main difference between fake and real security cameras is their functionality. Real security cameras are functional and record video footage, while fake cameras are non-functional and are only meant to serve as a deterrent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
