Why a decoy works

Most break-ins are decided from the sidewalk.

A burglar picks the easy house, not the brave one. Before anyone touches a door they read the front of a home for risk, and a camera is the clearest signal that this one keeps a record.

A decoy gives them that signal for a few dollars. They do not knock to check whether it is wired. They move on to the house that does not have one.

The best camera is the one they decide not to test.

Mount it where it counts

One camera, on the way they would come in.

Pick the entrance that is most exposed and put it there. For most homes that is the front door, but if your back slider sits out of sight of the street, that is the one worth covering.

Angle it down over the approach so it reads as watching the path, not the sky. It only works if it is seen before anyone is close enough to test it.

Front doorBack sliderGarageDriveway
Up in about two minutes

Two screws, or peel and stick.

1

Pick the spot

High on a wall or eave, angled down over the way in.

2

Add the batteries

Two AA cells power the blinking LED for about a year.

3

Mount it

Use the two screws outdoors, or the tape indoors.

4

Walk the path

Stand where a visitor would and check the camera is in plain view.

No wiring, no app, no monthly fee. Just a clear signal at the door.
Layer your defense

Seen at the door, heard at the window.

A decoy turns people away at the approach. The TremShield Alarm covers the moment someone tests a window anyway, sounding at 125dB the second the glass moves.

Questions, answered calmly

No. It is a decoy. It looks and blinks like a wired camera so it deters at the approach, without any wiring, app, or monthly fee.
Yes. The housing is weather-resistant for a covered porch, eave, or garage wall. For best life, mount it out of direct standing rain.
Two AA batteries run the slow blinking LED for about a year. Nothing to plug in or charge.
Two screws are included for outdoor walls, or use the adhesive pad for smooth indoor surfaces. Most installs take a couple of minutes.
One at your most exposed entrance does the work, because a burglar only needs to see a camera once to move on. Add a second if the back of your home is out of sight of the street, since that is where most homes get tested.
