i have a few of these in my apartment, they are great for lighting up the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. during the day, they don't really 'shut off' so i turn the sensors toward the wall so the batteries don't run out of juice.
This "camera" works as advertised. Although totally made of plastic, it looks realistic enough (the "lens" is black and reflects some ambient light, like the glass of most cameras out there).
When it detects moviment nearby, it moves in both directions (that is, it pans back and forth) a couple of times, as the red LED light blinks. It uses three "AA" batteries that can last for several months (assuming it is activated around 4 times a day). There's an ON/OFF switch outside. No wiring needed for installation (it has an actual white wire behind it, faking its insertion into the wall).
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it doesn't react to movement everytime. Most times it works, but sometimes it just doesn't (as if it had an automatic on/off timer). But this is not a big issue because even without moving and blinking, it is still there and do intimidate intruders and thieves sucessfully (well, I hope so). Additionally, one of the 3 units I bought just don't move or blink at all.
If you want a fake camera that really looks like an original surveillance camera, look for those models with the lens built-in inside a metal body, without movements, sounds or blinking LEDs.
My wife doesn't have very good sight , and we have been using night lights for some time now . In the past , the lights bothered me at night when I turned in my sleep , they would wake me up , but with the sensing night light , It only brightens when someone is moving , and it provides good lighting to move around with out mishaps . I would reccomend this to my friends . Thanks . Mr. Lindsey
