Fake security cameras are also called dummy cameras. They are nonfunctional and so are often only used to deter minor theft and vandalism in places like restaurants and convenience stores. Note that some experienced criminals can recognize a dummy camera.

Fake security cameras are intentionally placed in an obvious area where they will be seen by intruders. This makes them less than desirable in domestic situations where the homeowners do not want their property to resemble a prison. However, a business can save money by using a broken camera or a fake camera with empty and empty housing.

Fake security cameras also augment functional security systems. For example, a set of four cameras might have one fake camera. This lowers the cost of the entire package while making potential thieves think the security presence is larger than it might really be.
