Dummy Security Cameras?

[TheGreatSatan]

I was thinking about adding a few dummy cameras to the outside of my house for security. I have never had a break in or anything, but I thought it may be a smart move.

Maybe I'll save a little bit of money on my home insurance??

dunno bout insurance savings.. but if i might suggest... get 1 or 2 real ones.. (like 1 front of house.. the other at the rear) then a few dummys scattered around... then get a capture card made for cams..
usually capture cards for cameras come with some nifty software :)
like locked streaming feeds.. so u can check from an iphone... or any other computer thats online..
depending on the card.. u might also get one with a motion trigger sensor... (helps saves HDD space)

Swap out a lightbulb with an energy efficient one. Check.

Leave light on when away or sleeping. Check.

Put multiple moving cardboard cutouts in the window of said room with light. Check.

Your home is now secure. You're welcome.

Seriously, A dummy camera will not affect your insurance. They like to see real security devices to give you a discount. I get a discount for my fire/intruder alarm and I had to show my agent that it was functional.
