Product Description

Most burglars will not risk prison by breaking into an occupied house. So when a prowler sees that flickering glow that means someone is home watching television, he knows to move on to an easier target. But now you can outsmart him with a FakeTV. FakeTV simulates the light output of a real television. When you are away, this conveys the impression of "alive" far more than a lamp on a timer ever could. Buy a FakeTV and make your home an unappealing choice for a break-in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great deterrent, looks like your home watching TV, June 28, 2009

By	J. Martin "J Martin" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have these devices in my great room and upstairs bedroom. I ordered another one for my 74 year old mother that lives alone. Uses hardly any power to operate unlike a real TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this faketv, it's really cool, better than leaving a tv on and saves electricity, September 24, 2009

I went to the website and knew immediately I wanted this. I bought one for myself and one for a family member. When I received it, I put it in an upstairs bedroom and partially opened the blinds. I plugged it in and set the timer to dusk + 7 hours. Other settings are dusk all nite, dusk + 4 hours, dusk +7, or always on. That evening, I was outside and was amazed. It looked like there was a tv on in the bedroom. It changed light intensity and colors like a real tv. My wife was appreciative because it gives her an added sense of deterrent which means a lot to me. What is impressive is that the lighting of the faketv can be extremely bright like any tv would be. However, the fake tv utilizes intensely bright LEDs that hardly uses any electricity but is a lot less than a regular tv or the high energy consumption that high definition tv uses. During the day, about 3 blue leds are always on to let you know that it is operating and will turn on at dusk. I am going to order another one for my mother because I know she would appreciate it. I would suggest for the best location would be in a window that is not near a street light.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is GREAT!, August 3, 2009

When you unpack it, it is deceptively small. Aim it at a window and it does the trick! I have stood for quite a long time watching this thing in my window and my neighbor watching a real tv. The flashing behavior looks completely real. It screams "someone's home!!"
