Dummy CCTV Camera set Atrapa model 218 — two IR LED faux cameras for deterrence

Set of two Atrapa dummy CCTV cameras model 218 designed to simulate the appearance of active IP surveillance. Each unit is a non-functional replica with visible IR LED indicators that mimic night-vision operation, offering a realistic look without recording or network capability. The set is intended for quick wall or ceiling mounting and provides a visual deterrent to theft and vandalism in homes, retail spaces, offices and sheltered outdoor areas.

Advantages

The Atrapa model 218 set delivers a convincing visual presence through lifelike housing, lens detail and illuminated IR LEDs that operate on battery or simulated power supply. Lightweight construction and simple mounting make installation fast and require no wiring. Because these are non-functional units, they avoid privacy, network and maintenance concerns associated with real IP cameras while still suggesting continuous monitoring.

Suitable for

• Home entrances, hallways and garages
• Retail shops and point-of-sale areas
• Office reception and common spaces
• Sheltered outdoor locations such as covered porches and loading bays

Key specifications

• Set contents: two non-functional camera replicas with IR LED indicators
• Appearance: IP-style housing with simulated lens and mounting bracket
• Indicators: visible IR LED lights to simulate night operation
• Mounting: wall or ceiling installation with included screws and anchors

• Weight: lightweight units for easy handling and secure mounting

How to use

Select installation positions that are clearly visible to visitors and cover entry points or valuable areas. Use the supplied screws and anchors to fix each unit to a wall or ceiling; ensure surfaces are solid and appropriate for the fasteners. Install or replace batteries if required to activate the IR indicator lights. Position the cameras at a natural camera height and angle so the simulated lenses and LEDs are visible from common approach paths.

Usage recommendations

For maximum deterrent effect, place one unit near the main entrance and the other covering a secondary access or high-value area. Combine with signage indicating surveillance and routine physical security measures for a layered approach. Do not rely on dummy cameras as the sole security measure—use them alongside locks, alarms and lighting where appropriate.
