SE FC9957 Fake Surveillance Camera with Sensor

This "camera" works as advertised. Although totally made of plastic, it looks realistic enough (the "lens" is black and reflects some ambient light, like the glass of most cameras out there).

When it detects moviment nearby, it moves in both directions (that is, it pans back and forth) a couple of times, as the red LED light blinks. It uses three "AA" batteries that can last for several months (assuming it is activated around 4 times a day). There's an ON/OFF switch outside. No wiring needed for installation (it has an actual white wire behind it, faking its insertion into the wall).

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it doesn't react to movement everytime. Most times it works, but sometimes it just doesn't (as if it had an automatic on/off timer). But this is not a big issue because even without moving and blinking, it is still there and do intimidate intruders and thieves sucessfully (well, I hope so). Additionally, one of the 3 units I bought just don't move or blink at all.

If you want a fake camera that really looks like an original surveillance camera, look for those models with the lens built-in inside a metal body, without movements, sounds or blinking LEDs.

I first saw this product in the Spy Store, next to the Spy Museum in Washington DC pity I hadn't bought one then and saved all the postage and packing to UK! But worth the cost. For a few pound/dollars you get a pretty authentic looking device, which whirrs and flashes its little red light as it scans from side to side after its motion detector has kicked in. Battery powered, so cost effective. Clearly only a minor deterrent to committed intruders, but a very useful one at that. I like it, because it has all the appearances of the real thing, at a fraction of the cost and probably just as effective, although I cannot confirm that. But we have not been burgled yet.

Buy SE FC9957 Fake Surveillance Camera with Sensor Now

Piece of junk from China! Amazon should be embarrassed to even show it on their web site. Sensor won't detect motion more than 6" if at all. All screws strip out to access battery box then you can't keep it together. Not water proof for outdoor use. Shipping costs more than product. Very misleading ad with lack of honest information. I was one of the suckers born every minute on this item. If I could rate it a ZERO I would. Anything that even looks like this one is junk! I learned my lesson. Avoid these like the plague.

It does the job, but some experts will notice it is a fake. Common people did not notice it. Common but intuitive people notices one of the flaws of the device: When detects motions, camera pans from one side to the other and sometimes stops randomly in a direction where there is nothing interesting to see and people wonder: "why is watching that way ? There is nothing to see in that direction."

So moving the camera randomly just for detecting motion is not maybe a good idea if the camera stops moving when is pointing to a null direction.

I bought 6 of these cameras for our various offices and they are very noisy. They move alot, but due to the noise they make one would not be able to use them in an office environment. When they move back and forth they don't really focus at the person who activated the motion sensor, so that appeared to be very unrealistic. Their appearance from a distance might fool some, but they look very much like a toy.
