I leave my camper on my land all year long. There was recently some theirs in our area 3 weeks ago.. I have some fake cameras I would like to mount on the camper. I was thinking double sided Velcro, so I can take them off when I'm on the road. And if they fall off, no big deal just put them back on...Any other ideas ?

I have seen a LOT of fake security cameras and honestly, I can spot a fake one with my eyes closed. I think you would be better off contacting a local security camera contractor and see if he has any old broken REAL cameras that you can purchase. I have no idea the best way for you to install it but at the very least when you find out the proper way to install you will at least look like you have something.

Really? You may be on to something. These are the ones I bought.http://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Dummy-Security-Camera-Blinking/dp/B0013Q1XTMMaybe I should just mount real ones if it's that obvious to a seasoned criminal. ( not saying you are )

May I ask what is the smoking gun ? How can u tell ?

I too had a few dummy cams installed on my house and when I had the guy come out to install the real thing, he laughed when he saw what I had. I installed 5 new outdoor cams and he had 3 broken cams in his truck so he mounted those also.If you do go the fake route, DO NOT put the battery in it so the light flashes. No real camera has a flashing light!

What about using GameCams? You can buy some that take decent quality pics at places like Cabelas. Won't cost a fortune, you'll burn some batteries, but if there are any issues you can probably catch the culprits. You don't say what kind of unit you have, but they can be wrapped around things as they come with straps. Heavy duty double-sided Velcro will probably work but make sure you remove the cameras before you travel as you don't want them falling off onto a roadway possible causing damage.
