Very good model for what it is designed to do. Had problems mounting it to a steel post tho.Next step is to see how long (3) aa batteries keep the blinking light going.

realistic looking
I have had problems with packages being stolen off of my front porch so I thought that I would try this simulated security camera to make the thieves think twice. It is a very convincing replica. The light makes it more realistic and the quality of the materials and the design make it look like the real thing. A very nice bonus is the mounting template that is included, it makes installation a snap (see photo). The template even indicates which way the lens will point when mounted. Other manufacturers take note!
Defiant - Simplified Home Security Simulated Surveillance Dome Camera. I wanted a deterrent and this camera fit the bill. It has a very detailed template making installation very easy and it also helps ensure you get the camera pointed in the right direction, the screws were poor quality and the heads deformed instantly when I used a drill driver set correctly with the correct phillips head to screw them in the wood, so instead I used two #6 - 1” stainless steel screws which were the right length for me and the heads were the right size, an important aspect. The only reason I mentioned this is so you can find some screws for your install before you begin your installation, not a big enough deal to me to count it against it's rating. Installed it in minutes. It really is a very well made decoy, no way you could tell it was a decoy. You can look closely at it and see a camera lens, looks very legit. My wireless camera has a light too and I cut it off because it makes it noticeable so I did the same thing on this one, plus it saves batteries. I was in network security and the lights on a camera meant nothing your light could work and the camera not be transmitting. If I change my mind I can twist it off its base and load some batteries in it. I recommend this product when you are using a decoy camera.
