Great: 
The best location for FakeTV is near a second story window with no shade.  This makes it easy to see the light from FakeTV.  

Good:
For a first-floor window, aim the FakeTV unit at translucent shade, drapes or blinds, so that it lets FakeTV light out, but you cannot see the FakeTV unit from outside

 

 

A light on a timer is a great idea, and we still recommend that you use install our Honeywell Econo Switch Programmable Timer also available at Pre-Lock Security Services in conjuction with a FakeTV.  The problem with just light timers is they are static, when they are on they are on no changes that someone watching the house can really notice.     Fake TV  can be seen from the street as people walk and drive by your home.  Always flickering just like a real TV.  it is constantly changing and give the impression of real television running in the back ground.    FakeTV gives a good first impression to an intruder thinking of robbing your home.  You need to get up pretty early to fool a burglar these days, but we think we hit the nail on the head with FakeTV as timers are commonplace, and burglars know this. 

Here is a true story I will tell you....

My parents drove by my house and phoned me on my cell phone and asked me why do I leave the TV on when I am away?   "its not a TV Mom, its a device to trick people to think I am home.  Boy they were impressed!!! 

Try this yourself-- take a look at the windows in your neighborhood after dusk, and you will likely find one emanating the telltale flickering glow of a television.  Now does it even occur to you that the home might not be occupied?  We didn't think so either.

              Your home is a sitting duck without FakeTV

The real trick of FakeTV is faking out the burglar.  It's all psychology, not the technology.  When you see the flickering glow from a television through the neighbors windows, you just assume somebody must be really watching it.   When you see the light from a neighbor's television, does it even occur to you that someone might not be home?  Of course not.....especially if its looks real.  People watch a lot of TV!!!

And why break into a house that looks occupied when it looks like nobody is home in a house down the street?  The trick is to make your home an unappealing target.  FakeTV, along with a few other common-sense security measures, does just that.

So why not just put your expensive LCD or Plasma television on a timer?  It will not work! Most 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 and are built on certain amount of hour in the baulb.   Does it make sense to use up the life of an expensive TV when nobody is watching it?  Of course not.
