Fake TV Burglar Deterrent
Fake TV Features:
- Environmentally friendly
- Fake TV consumes fifty times less power than a real TV
- Built-in light sensor and timer, Automatically turns on at dusk
Fake TV is a burglar deterrent that recreates the light of real HDTV television. Fake TV's super-bright LEDs fill a room with light in thousands of possible shades of color. Fake TV simulates scene changes, fades, swells, and and on-screen motion. From outside, it looks just like someone is home watching TV.
Most burglars will not break into an occupied house. Why risk prison? So when a prowler sees that flickering glow that means someone is home watching TV, he knows to move on to an easier target. When you are away, FakeTV says "alive" far more than a lamp on a timer ever could. Buy a FakeTV and make your home an unappealing choice for a break-in. FakeTV is no bigger than a coffee cup but produces the light of a 27 inch LCD TV.
Why You Need More than a Light on a Timer?
A light on a timer is a great idea, and we still recommend that you use one. It can be seen from the street, and gives a good first impression. But timers are commonplace, and burglars know this. Worse, lights are static. But light from a television is something entirely different. It is constantly changing, and gives the impression of "alive". FakeTV recreates that light, and recreates that impression.
So why not just put a television on a timer? It will not work! Modern televisions turn on with push-buttons, so they will not turn on from an external timer. So why not just leave a television on whenever you are away? Well, that wastes a lot of power. Plus, televisions get gradually dimmer with time. Does it make sense to use up the life of an expensive TV when nobody is watching it?
The Solution is Fake TV!
Using FakeTV could not be simpler. Place Fake TV where it will light up a room, but you cannot see the Fake TV unit itself from outside. A second floor room is ideal, but a first floor room with translucent shades or blinds works fine, too. Then, each evening at dusk Fake TV's built-in light sensor will turn the unit on. FakeTV turns off automatically after a switch-selectable time.
Burglars will almost always circle a home once before entering. They are looking for the easiest way in, and looking for signs of life. FakeTV gives them just those signs. Few burglars will enter a home that they think is occupied.

clever burgler deterrent
gopal (san marcos california) 6/21/2010 9:22 AM
I read about this product in one of the sections of the Sunday paper. I set it up near the TV, and faced it towards the front window. No lights can be on near the deterrent. When the deterrent came on, I went outside to see how it would appear through the window blind. It does look as though the TV is on. We also have a timer for a light in the same room, so now I feel much safer.

Fake TV burglar deterrent
John Sjhu (North Carolina) 6/14/2010 2:34 PM
I bought one for myself and one for a family member. When I received it, I put it in an upstairs bedroom and partially opened the blinds. I plugged it in and set the timer to dusk + 7 hours. Other settings are dusk all nite, dusk + 4 hours, dusk +7, or always on. That evening, I was outside and was amazed. It looked like there was a tv on in the bedroom. It changed light intensity and colors like a real tv. My wife was appreciative because it gives her an added sense of deterrent which means a lot to me. What is impressive is that the lighting of the faketv can be extremely bright like any tv would be. However, the fake tv utilizes intensely bright LEDs that hardly uses any electricity but is a lot less than a regular tv or the high energy consumption that high definition tv uses. During the day, about 3 blue leds are always on to let you know that it is operating and will turn on at dusk. I am going to order another one for my mother because I know she would appreciate it. I would suggest for the best location would be in a window that is not near a street light.
