Mounted in high profile, totally visible locations, these cameras are not hooked up to anything, they mostly operate for a long time on batteries and sometimes have a few flashing lights or other obvious characteristics to make them look as if they are doing something.Many a would-be robber has changed his or her mind about entering someplace illegally after spotting one of these dummy security cameras looking right at them.
