I received my camera today and I suppose it will do. One initial disappointment is that the last statement in the product description: "NOTE: The bracket is now like the one you see in the last picture and is the same color as the camera. It is no longer the metal bracket you see." is false. I got the cheap, round, sheet metal bracket as shown in the earlier pictures. Beware. It was this false bracket comment that made me decide to go with this vendor given some similar ads.

Everything was as expected from these fake cameras except the blinking LED was advertised to last a year on a set of batteries and only lasted 2 months - twice.

I installed 2 and my neighbors went crazy. My good neigbors love them. My bad neighbors hate them. They look so real that electricians asked me where i got them. The flasing light works great. My cameras were silver. I will probably buy 2 more just to keep back in case the others ever stop flashing. I have enjoyed sitting out side and watching my neighbors react.

The faux camera's arrived very timely from the shipper. They are very realistic looking, and exactly as shown in the pictures. They have a nice gun-metal, satin finish on them. The base is the same color as the camera. The battery cover is underneath the camera cover, which unclips easily, and refastens securely. A previous review had problems with the battery cover, but no problems here.
Overall, very happy buying 6 of them. I will use some at my home, and the rest up at our cabin. They should provide some measure of deterrence while were away from the place. At the very least, they will put some doubt in people's minds, which is not a bad value at [...] bucks each.

Just received the camera - impressed with how it looks. From the comments here regarding the short battery life I probably will not use that feature. Note - the plastic bracket as shipped needed to be removed and flipped over for the camera to set up as seen in photo - not a big deal but annoying as there are no instructions...I can see how someone might try to force the camera to swivel and end up breaking the plastic. Update: batteries lasted less than a month - thus the 3 stars.

This is an extremely real looking camera. Its easy to put up and gives a very convincing appearance. I would have given it five stars but for two reasons. 1. The batteries dont last longer than 60 days. 2. The replacement latch for the batteries is in an awkward position, considering the fact that you have to replace them every 60 days.

This thing looks realistic enough. And if you choose to you can even have it blink, but then you do have to remember to change the batteries.

Looks like the real deal. Well constructed. Strong blinking light. Easy to install. Best buy on the web, bar none.

We purchased this outdoor fake security camera just as an added measure to dissuade juvenile intruders at one of our properties. It looks quite convincing when mounted high enough over the front door that people cannot see it up close. It has a perpetually blinking red light in what looks like a lens, which helps. However, unfortunately, the sliding cover that is supposed to slide over the battery compartment on top of the camera had no stops on the camera we received. It slides right off the camera, and there is no way to make it stay on. We had to use duct tape in back and hope that holds it. Either the one we received was defective, or the camera is manufactured in a bad way -- so that the cover may be prone to slide off, with no way to attach it to the camera. For an item of this price, it is too much trouble to pack it up and ship it back. The seller should replace a defective one, without the need to ship it back.

Camera looks real and I like the flashing red LED light. Everyone who visits thinks it is the real thing. Very good quality and fast delivery. Purchased a second one too!
