Fake TV Burglar Deterrent

All members of your family are out for the day. You are at work, your partner is at work, your kids are at school, or maybe someplace else.

Along comes an opportunist burglar. He is scoping out homes in your neighborhood.

He wants a home to burgle that will give him as little trouble as possible and one where there is nobody at home. He slowly passes your house and has a good look, he sees that it is not empty, someone must be in there because there's a light from a color television set. He rejects your home and moves on, looking for his easy target.

But . . . nobody is in your home and there is no TV playing.

You left your home guarded by an ingenious little device, set on its own built in timer, as part of your home security set up.

The device creates the illusion that someone is sitting watching television. From outside the home the light from the fake tv burglar deterrent looks exactly like the output from a tv, subtle changes, darkening and lighting up, the flickering effect of on screen movement, and delicate color change.

In many cases, yes it would. Most burglars are like our low life opportunist friend above. They are not professional criminals, they want to break in to homes easily and steal what they can carry away. They don't want problems, they don't want confrontation. This type of criminal will not want to enter a home if there is even a chance of someone being inside.

Wouldn't a lamp on a timer work just as well? Timer switches are a good home security investment and can be used to give the illusion someone is at home. However time switches have been around for some time now and, on their own, timers may not be enough.

Use a lamp on a timer and the fake tv burglar deterrent and you really give the impression folks are at home.

Some folks wonder why not just have your real TV on a timer. Unfortunately modern televisions cannot be switched on by a time switch. They require the clicking of a button, or the use of a remote control, as well as the introduction of power. You could go out and leave the TV on, but that's going to cost you quite a tidy sum at today's electricity prices. Plus, of course, there is the wear and tear on a television left on.

Using its own computer chip the intruder deterrent controls a set of super bright, hi-intensity LEDs to generate light of variable color, shade and brightness that lights up your room in the same way a real television does.

Anyone observing your home from the outside would believe there is someone on the inside.

The device is equipped with a built in timer, select dusk plus four hours, dusk plus seven hours or continuous.

The fake tv burglar deterrent consumes fifty times less power than does a real color television, so you can deter intruders and be environmentally friendly.

Because the device does not look like a real TV, you will want to place it somewhere that it would not be seen if a potential burglar looked through a first floor window. It is unlikely a burglar would want to venture up to the window if he thinks that someone is watching TV, but keep it out of view just in case.

Would it be wise to rely on a burglar tv light as your main home security? No. You do need good locks on your doors and windows and possibly a security alarm system too. But as a means of deterring an opportunist thief from choosing your home to break into the fake tv burglar deterrent is a darn good idea.
