They appear to be the real deal
I received 4 'cameras' all individually wrapped and boxed. Each included mounting screws designed for hollow wall installation. If you are mounting the camera's on wood, throw the screws away. I drilled 3 different sized pilot holes, getting gradually larger, the third hole was almost the same size as the screw, the screws won't bite. I used my own screws and proceeded.No one has mentioned some of the best features of these cameras. I wanted the single screw for the base to be the upper most screw, there are 3 screws on the device that allow you to put the device in virtually any position, I removed the screw that attaches the camera to the base, I could mount it anyway I wanted. There is a screw that allows you to direct the face of the camera in the up and down directions. The third screw allows for adjustment for rotation. You do not have to remove the screws for up and down or rotation, just loosen them. The whole unit is well thought out and implemented. The signs that come with each unit are adequate, but are large enough that it was necessary to bend them to put them in the box. No problem. I laid the signs in a folder making sure they were flat, and placed the folder on a flat surface then weighted the signs, half an hour later, they were ready for posting.The only downside to these fake devices, in the event I were to have a break-in, there would be no video to show to authorities. Hopefully these will be enough of a deterrent to preclude a break-in.The piece of spaghetti that serves as a wire on mine was only attached on one end, it is evident where the other end goes so I put a little glue on each one then put it in the hole. Decreasing the likelihood that the wind would blow it out of the hole.

GREAT FOR THE MONEY, WOULD BUY AGAIN!!
These do the job intended definitely, and look surprisigly real from 4ft away or more. For the money these are hard to beat. I showed exactly what they come with in the box in one picture. You get 2 stickers per camera. They are alittle smaller than expected (see photo with my hand), and very lightweight, but really stand out in the dark when the LED is flashing. I didnt tell my family they were fake at first and they all thought they were real. I only put up three, and have a spare if needed. BE CAREFUL when tightening up the hardware upon adjusting as they strip easily, but for $20 dollars guys whatd you expect? lol I screwed in two of the cameras at my outbuilding where cars and UTVs are kept etc, but decided to only use 30lb heavy duty black Gorilla brand mounting tape from Walmart for the camera on my porch (shown in the picture) and it actually has held great!!! WOULD DEFINITELY BUY AGAIN.

Good deterrant
They must work. So far, no more knuckleheads coming around. Paired with some HF solar security lights for the night prowlers.

Low cost, fairly realistic, low quality control
These are low-cost "dummy cams." 2 of the 4 cams had flickering indicator lights that worked. The "fake LED" lights on the other 2 cams were not "convincing" - they did not function at all. Which is no big loss - because replacing AAA batteries after you mount the cams will require you to dismantle the lens assembly. Note: the illustrations show 360 rotation and 2 pivot points. But these cams are strictly "wall-mount." They cannot be mounted to hang from ceilings. And another small "nit" - 2 of the "security stickers" had smeared lettering. Yes, you get what you pay for.

Deters vandals amazingly well...
After flying a BLM flag in my yard last year, the local hillbillies have destroyed my mailbox at least 6 times. I put two of these fake cameras on the mailbox post and ALL hillbillies have gone away. Well worth the chuckle to see a piece of plastic with a red LED can keep them away. Cheap money, works great!

They look real
Batteries in it last about a month to a month and a half worked for my purpose until I could afford real ones. The fact they are not real could not know when things happened like kids banging on the windows and doors most important when someone breaking in cars thank god for neighbors having real ones

... cameras for my grandmother who lives in a very bad area around the Mexican border
I went out and bought these cameras for my grandmother who lives in a very bad area around the Mexican border. I have proper security cameras at home and to my surprise these look nearly identical. My only complaint is that the LED blinking light looks absolutely fake and is entirely unessecary. The adjustment of the camera is also a little tough and when you do adjust it it can become quite loose so you may need to tighten the screws. If I were to make any suggestions to the product, it would be to ditch the LED lights, and tint the front lens a bit. The cameras also come with two free Decals, which are pretty alright. The quality on these is a bit lacking as the lettering in some areas is faded and mine were all bent and wrinkled. Of the 4 I ordered. 2 of the camera decals were in okay quality and I mounted these to hard poster board and hung them on her fence, and then the other 2 I attempted to fix and put them on her garage and in other places. You get 1 warnings sign and then 1 CCTV alert per camera. All in all. Not bad for the price.

They look real from 10' away
These include the plastic wall plugs and screws, so all you need is a drill and screwdriver to install. From 10'-15' away, you can't tell these are fake.

Looked real
Looks like the real thing. Have put them up around our property and hopefully deter the bad guys. Price is right.
