These are very realistic looking little cameras, very solidly built of anodized aluminum and very realistic, too! A little smaller than what you'd maybe expect, the camera body is about 3 1/2 inches long (add an inch for the Weatherproof housing) and about two inches 'wide' the stand is about 4 inches tall. Mounts with three screws (included). The camera lens and wire is totally believable, too. One Important point: this model does NOT have the BLINKING RED LIGHT ! What you get are two cameras, but not blinking.

High quality hardware and really looks like the real thing. Should hold up well in the elements. Beware, however, there is no red light with this model. The SVAT ISC200 has the red light. It is also bigger and therefore more obvious to scumbags. Also, they only cost about $10 more.

Inexpensive.
Well made.

Thieves scope out houses in advance, when they see these cameras, they will not stop to ponder whether or not they are real, rather they will keep driving down the street looking for the easier target.

These quality cameras are an inexpensive yet significant deterent.

I don't know what more should be.

I like how it is made of real metal and not some plastic painted to look metallic. Installation was easy (three screws at base into wall). Looks like a real camera. Hasn't rusted yet. I've had it for a few months now.

(Review by Nick)I mounted these about 12 feet above ground level at the front and back side of my home. Mounting was ultra-easy - no problems and quite secure. The cameras look real (enough) to definitely make a burglar move on to the next house. In fact, ha, my neighbor said he should be mad at me, because the bad guys will be going to his house now that I mounted these cameras.

I haven't had them long enough to tell how weather resistant the finish will be, but I have them mounted out of the sun and rain and they are weather resistant material, so they should look new for a long time. Price was right, look realistic, easy to install... you want something better - spend a bunch o' bucks and buy the real thing.

I'm buying another 2-pack for my daughter's home. No problem in recommending this product.

When you look at the picture make you think it is one piece, but when I got it then I found out it was two parts. The wire did not connect. It looked like it was broken apart.
When I was trying to connect the wire - it was very hard. One was working well the next one when I tried to make a connection, the screw broke.
I had to use a glue to make a connection.
It was horrible. I do not recommend people to buy this.
The one thing that's good for me to give them two stars, because it looked like real.
But it was too small. I expected to use one in the front door and the next in my back yard, but ended up to I had to use both in the front door.

Just received these yesterday, and they are by far the best of the "Dummy" Security Camera's I purchased SE Dummy Security Camera, Dome Shape, 1 Red Flashing Light. The construction feels solid, and they look almost exactly like the real deal. The only thing that stopped me from giving this five stars is that the mounting hardware could be a bit better for the price. All three of the provided mounting screws sheered off at the head when trying to install the camera which wasn't a big deal since I had plenty of extra lying around, and the mounting plate did bend a bit when trying to torque the screws into place. Those two very minor issues aside, I'm very happy with my purchase.

This "faux" camera looks like the real thing. Comes apart for easy mounting and is very adjustable. It is also compact and can be mounted almost anywhere. i gave it four stars because it does not have a motion sensor with a blinking light to add realism. Of course the plus side to that is there is no need to replace any batteries. Also, because of its small size it is not easy to see. If that is important to you, a larger housing might be better.

I augmented the installation by stringing some old RU-6 TV coax from the units to an old satellite dish paint/labeled with a fictitious satellite security name to compliment the setup's appearance of authenticity. These units are smaller and less robust than some seen on large commercial installations, but for my little remote business they appear real.

Received the camera just as advertised but had been damaged in transit. Customer service sent off a new one very quickly when damage was brought to their attention. I would definitely purchase a product from this dealer and this manufacturer again at any time. Wish all sellers on the internet were as good as these guys were when a problem arises.
