Home Security Store Launches Its Summer Sale on the New FTV-10 Fake TV Burglar Deterrent
Summer is a hot season for thieves who want to take what's yours. That's why you have to protect your home and one way to do that is with the new Fake TV. The Fake TV accurately simulates the light output of a real television. The Fake TV can be the perfect solution to fool burglars into thinking that someone is home and alert.
(PRWEB) May 29, 2009 -- The Fake TV, on sale for a limited time, is one of the most tailored security products on the market today. Most burglars like an easy mark. What could be easier than an empty house in the summertime waiting for someone to come in and claim that big-screen TV, laptop, diamond ring, and other expensive goodies? At times they even want the poor toaster.
 That's right - Believe it or not, some intruders even want your old, crusty kitchen items. Instead of putting a target on the front door, the easiest way to deter intruders is to make it look like someone is home every second of every day. When a predator thinks that someone is home and ready to call the cops at a moment's notice, they usually don't want to bother. This is exactly why so many homeowners add timers to their lighting mix. Of course, many want more of a lived-in look - like camping out in your house all day with a baseball bat and a cordless phone - but on second thought, that probably won't go over well with your employer or with your psyche. A better solution is the Fake TV, so says security expert Andre Perkic.
"The Fake TV is exactly what it sounds like. This glowing device actually simulates someone watching a television, which can deter burglars. You see, burglars don't want trouble and they want an easy mark where they think no one is home or that the homeowners are fast asleep."
The Fake TV is about the same size as a coffee cup. This compact unit uses small super-bright LEDs (light-emitting diodes) to flicker like your trusty old TV, appearing similar to the light output on a 27-inch set. "It even adds a few special effects to appear like scene changes, fades, swells, flicks, on-screen motion and color changes," Perkic said.
The maker of the Fake TV, Xenso says that their device is more than just your average strobe light. In fact, data was taken from real TVs and real TV programs, to determine things like intensity and color variation.
So while fake lighting is a nice solution, some burglars (and neighbors) start to see that on/off pattern. Nothing provides a more lived-in look than the beloved couch potato. Of course, you could actually leave your own TV on for the same effect - and that's what Fake TV inventor Blaine Readler's first thought of for his own homes security measures. However, after one night, he quickly came up with the Fake TV as an alternative. It's a much cheaper, easier solution, and won't put added strain on your nice expensive TV or electric bill, especially during the summer months. Instead, the Fake TV uses about the same amount of power as a nightlight. Just flip the switch on the back, and you're in business. There's also a light sensor and timer, so it won't be running all day, either. In case you're going to be out, the timer can be set to flick on at dusk for anywhere from four to seven hours.
The Fake TV is nice, small, and inexpensive. That means you can also afford to stuff one into your bag to help deter hotel break-ins as well. The Fake TV will run you a real $31.
