Review by Jeff Pittman "Jeff Pittman" : The flashing LED makes it look fake, but it's worthwhile anyway.

This is pretty believable if you don't put batteries in it to make the LED flash. I bought two and started them out that way (battery compartment quality was so poor that I had to stuff in some paper to force the batteries to stay in place). The red LEDs flashed constantly, and then I realized: you NEVER see cameras like this with flashing LEDs in the real world. Black domed cameras are all over the campus I work in, they pepper the ceilings of pretty much every store I shop in, and *none* of them have flashing red LEDs. So I took out the batteries and suddenly these looked a lot more authentic. Oh, and unless I'm confusing this product with another, there is no motion-detected activation of the LED - if there are live batteries in this guy, the LED flashes. I picked up some Velcro strips from Wally World, mounted them in a couple of places and, well, they look like surveillance cameras to me. At this price, that's good enough. I'm just trying to scare bad people away so I don't have to break out the Mossberg.Update 12/1/2011: secure it well. I got supposedly industrial strength Velcro brand adhesive strips but they were recessed too far into the "camera" housing to get a really good stick going. On the first cold morning, 1 of 2 (back porch) fell off when the Velcro adhesive faily and it smashed into oblivion. On the second cold morning, 2 of 2 (front porch) did the same. I just ordered two more and will doctor them up with Gorilla tape before attaching the Velcro. No complaints about the product or the Velcro, I just need to do a little more thoughtful prep.

Review by Dave : It's ok i guess

For what i paid for it,it is worth it.Looks semi real close up.From a distance it looks better.Like i said the price is right so if it keeps the scum away then i am happy.

Review by Fred Jaeger : Looks Real !

Has a blinking red LED when you put in batteries. I haven't decided if that makes it look more real or more fake yet. I'm tempted to take the batteries out because of it. If you look carefully, it's got a gizmo inside that looks like a camera.Overall, you can't beat what this unit provides for the price. I've one on each of my doors and am very satisfied.
