What is Dummy Security?

Dummy security cameras, also known as fake security cameras or decoy surveillance cameras, are non-functional replicas designed to look like real security systems. These affordable deterrents mimic the appearance of working CCTV cameras, often featuring blinking LED lights, motion sensors, or realistic housings to create the illusion of active surveillance.

While dummy cameras don’t actually record video, they can deter theft, vandalism, and trespassing simply by making potential intruders believe they are being watched. They are a popular, low-cost option for boosting perceived security in homes, offices, and retail spaces.
