FakeTV FTV-11 Extra Bright Burglar Deterrent Television Simulator (Charcoal)

This is one of the most effective and cost-effective tools on the market. The effect is extremely good at mimicking an occupied home. It mimics a tv perfectly. Just be sure to keep it out of direct sight of doors and windows or you will lose its power!We've given them as gifts because they work so well.

Compré el articulo debido a un viaje de 2 semanas que realicé. Mi casa está a pie de calle y lo coloqué en la habitación principal en segundo piso. No sé si fue casualidad o realmente fue el fake tv, pero puedo afirmar que no me robaron. El equipo funciona bien, se prende cuando sensa oscuridad y yo programé el apagado automático después de 7 horas, aunque también tiene función para 4 horas. Los detalles que le veo son que resulta difícil ubicarlo en el cuarto para que parezca real. Los colores son muy intensos y los cambios son muy drásticos, al ver la recámara desde la calle da la impresión de que se está usando una gran televisión con una película animada. En resumen me pareció algo exagerada la proyección pero funcional.

This item works flawlessly and is really easy to setup...Just open the box, plug-in the 110v outlet into the unit and into the wall and switch the device to the ON position and you're ready!It is ideal for simulating someone watching TV at home, while you're not there.This is really a good thief deterrent, as thieves would look out their target from the street, looking for which house does or does not have any activity... Think like a thief and you'll understand why this product is an awesome deterrent.The FakeTV device also have 2 options: One for Winter & Summer time (as night comes earlier in winter time)...Winter time, turn the switch to Dusk + 7 hoursSummer time, turn the switch to Dusk + 4 hoursThis gives you the best energy consumption results while giving you more time of FakeTV activity!Luminosity sensor starts the countdown when the dark room have a luminosity of 0.5 lux.

Fantastic addition to a home security system. I’ve had mines for about a year. No problems at all. From the street, it really does look like a real television playing. I have mines setup in a guest room, and I placed it on a dresser (in the same spot and position I would put a real tv). I don’t have it directly facing the window. But, this thing is so bright, and realistic, you don’t need to. I had it on a timer , but decided to get fancy. About a month ago, I plugged my fake tv into a smart plug. So, now, I can turn it on, no matter where I am. I can also set a regular timer on my smart plug, or set a countdown timer on the plug. This allows me to turn the fake tv on where ever I’m at, and set it for a countdown timer to go off for however long I want it on......or, I can set a countdown timer to have it come on also. I also turn it on and off when we’re home too. Using this in addition to my smart bulb in our guest room, it gives our always empty guest room a lived in appearance (at least from the outside). Anyway, my point is, there are so many things you can do with this thing. Unfortunately this is the world we live in. But, for the price of this thing, and the peace of mind, it’s a fantastic addition to any home security system.

Saw this at a home show years ago but never bought it. I came across the flyer for it when cleaning up and tried Amazon and it is exactly as advertised.I have not used the timer features yet but the look and feel is exactly like someone is home watching TV. I may get a couple more for single friends who are concerned about such things when traveling.Works best with white / off white blinds, but obviously not so good if you have dark blinds, room darkeners, or shutters. Highly recommend.
