F FINDERS&CO Outdoor Fake Security Camera, Dummy CCTV Surveillance System with Realistic Red Flashing Lights and Warning Sticker (4, Black)
Quick take
This four-pack of dummy CCTV cameras is built to look convincing at a distance, with a realistic plastic housing and an LED that flashes to mimic an active security system. It’s a solid fit for homeowners or small businesses who want a budget deterrent and simple installation. The main caveat is that the red light is battery powered, and the blinking pattern can be noticed by more observant people.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Realistic-looking design, including camera-style housing details and an included warning sticker.
- Blinks on a regular interval, which many buyers say helps it look more active.
- Easy mounting with a fully adjustable bracket and included stainless steel screws.
- Outdoor-ready use with an IP65 waterproof rating.
Cons
- The flashing LED requires batteries, so ongoing upkeep is part of ownership.
- Some buyers note the blinking red dot can make it easier to identify as fake up close.
- Battery life varies by use, and evidence on long-term runtime patterns is limited.
What buyers think
Buyer feedback focuses heavily on appearance and day-to-day practicality. Many reviewers say the cameras look convincing and are easy to install, especially when mounted securely and the dummy wiring is positioned neatly. The blinking red LED is repeatedly mentioned as the feature that makes the set feel more “alive,” and several buyers report that batteries lasted a long time. At the same time, review evidence also includes a recurring caution that the blinking red dot is not how real cameras typically present their status, so careful observers may notice the difference.
What this is (and what it is not)
This is a simulated surveillance camera set, meaning it’s intended for deterrence rather than recording footage. The included “surveillance” look, warning sticker, and the periodic red LED flash are meant to discourage casual wrongdoing, especially in areas where a real camera system would be a larger investment.
Design and build quality
The cameras use ABS (styrene) engineering plastic, and they come in a bullet-style form factor meant for wall mounting. The mount is designed to be adjustable, with rotation and tilt so you can aim the camera housing where it will be most believable from typical viewing angles.
LED behavior and battery power
The standout deterrence feature is the LED that flashes at a set interval. Ownership does require batteries for that blinking light, and batteries are part of the expected maintenance. Some buyers also point out that there is no solar panel for charging, so if you were considering this for low-maintenance outdoor use without battery changes, plan accordingly.
Outdoor use and installation
With an IP65 waterproof rating, these dummy cameras are positioned for indoor and outdoor use. Installation is intended to be straightforward, using the included stainless steel screws and the adjustable mounting bracket.
If you want the set to look as convincing as possible, buyers recommend taking time with placement and cable presentation (for example, routing the dummy wire in a way that doesn’t look sloppy or obviously staged).
Who it’s best for
- Budget-focused buyers who want a deterrent effect without paying for full surveillance hardware.
- Homeowners and small businesses aiming to cover entry points or perimeter areas where attention from casual intruders is likely.
- People who can do simple outdoor mounting and don’t mind periodic battery replacement for the LED.
Who should avoid it
- Buyers who need real video capture, monitoring, or evidence collection. This set is designed to look like a camera, not to function as one.
- Situations where people inspect details up close. The flashing red dot can be a giveaway for more attentive viewers.
- Anyone expecting solar charging. The LED relies on batteries rather than a solar recharge feature.
Pros and cons summary
Buy this if your priority is a realistic dummy setup that’s quick to mount and can look active from typical distances. Skip it if you require recording capability or if your environment will likely attract close inspection.

Pricing varies by retailer listing and can change over time. Check the latest deal before buying.

Final verdict
The F FINDERS&CO four-pack is a practical option for anyone who wants a low-cost deterrent with a believable exterior and an active-looking red LED. It’s easy to mount and outdoor-rated, but battery upkeep is part of the deal, and the blinking light can be a giveaway for people who closely inspect details.
