Frequently asked questions

How do I install my super fabulous fake cameras?

You can do it yourself with a small ladder or chair and screw gun or hire a local lighting contractor. Do not hire internal staff or let anyone know. First fasten the base plate on the wall, ceiling or post. Then without anyone looking attach the camera body to the mount and sneak in the wire if needed.
 

Where should I put them?

Fasten your fake cams anywhere and keep them high as possible. If you mount them on a solid post, you may want to run extra cable with one end through the building exterior. 1/4 inch drill bit will work for most co-ax cable. Most people will mount them about a foot from the ceiling on the wall, leaving enough space to swivel the unit to aim at an entrance.
 

I have the blinking red light option, how often to I have to change the batteries?

You will have to replace the two AA batteries about once a year if they are 'Duracell' type. Don't worry if they run out, the cameras will still keep working.
 

Will insurance companies reduce my rate if I have fake cameras set up?

Yes in most cases. We have surveyed a handful of insurance adjusters and found they are very positive about visible security systems and are willing to reduce rates on commercial and residential buildings.
 

Will these stop nosey neighbors and friends from 'borrowing' tools when I'm not home?

You bet, as long as they know you have a new camera system in place, then your plants will stay in place too.

What happens if I set my cameras and signs up and I get broken it to?

Let us know immediately as you would be the first to us. Secondly ascertain whether they knew the cameras were there. IE ladder up to the face for inspection or aimed differently.  Don't let your wires hang loose, and if anybody asked...they weren't turned on.
