Overview

  • Dynamic, color changing occupancy simulation helps prevent entry by criminals
  • Super-bright multi-color LED Light output simulates the effects of a normal television
  • Built-in light sensor turns FakeTV on when it is dark and off when it is light

Essential Info

If you are looking effective, affordable way to deter criminals from breaking into your home at night, the FakeTV Burglar Deterrent is the perfect solution. FakeTV is a plug-in unit about the size of a coffee cup that simulates light output equivalent to a typical 27" TV. A built-in light sensor automatically turns the device on at night and/or when lighting in a room turns black (at 0.5 lux). From outside your home, it looks like someone is home watching TV. A built-in computer controls the super-bright LEDs to produce light of varying intensity and color that light up a room just like a real television does. Lighting effects included scene changes, fades, swells, flickers, on screen motion and color changes. Like real television programming, FakeTV is constantly shifting among more and less dynamic periods, more vivid and more monochromatic, and brighter and darker scenes; it is completely unpredictable, and it never repeats. FakeTV makes your home look occupied in a way that that a light on a timer cannot, by offering the impression that someone is inside your home watching television.

    Applications
    The best FakeTV applications are second story windows, where you can see the light from FakeTV with no shade, but cannot see the FakeTV unit. For first story installations, you will generally need window coverings to prevent prowlers from seeing in. Blinds or drapes need to be translucent, or adjusted to allow a little light through. It may even be worth buying an inexpensive light-filtering shade, just to get the best occupancy simulation out of FakeTV.

    Reviews

    "Great burglary deterrent. We use it whenever we will be away after dark. The flickering lights perfectly mimic a TV when viewed from outside the house." - FRED P - GOULDSBORO, PA
    "Installation was simple, instructions clear and a great value" - ROBERT P - RONKONKOMA, NY
    "Suprising amount of light from such a small unit. Looks like the real thing from outside. The automatic 'Dusk-On' feature doesn't work when placed in a darkened room with shades pulled." - ROBERT - NEW PHILADELPHIA, OH
