How to Fool a Burglar – Tips from Home Security Store

Sept. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Most break-ins happen when you are not at home or when you’re fast asleep.  During those vulnerable times is when the art of intimidation comes in.  The idea is to make it look as if someone is at home and awake when in reality there is no one home or you’re just getting some Z’s.  One way to do this - that is to intimidate a burglar - is with the FTV-10 - Fake TV Burglar Deterrent Device.

The FTV-10 Fake TV is a small electronic device.  It is about half the size of a typical soda can and uses only a fraction of the electricity of what a real TV would use, consuming about the same amount of power as a night light.  The gadget uses an array of colored, flashing LEDs to create the illusion of the effect of a real TV.  It uses a built in computer to control super bright LEDs to produce light of varying intensity and color that light up a room.  It comes off as real TV scene changes, fades, flicks, and camera pans.  The color changes are both subtle and dramatic and are completely unpredictable.  Furthermore, the Fake TV can be programmed to turn on and off.  The built-in light sensor will turn the Fake TV on at dusk, and then turn off after a 4 hour period or 7 hour period.  A simple selectable switch located on the back of the device gives you the option of 4 or 7 hours, there is no need for an external timer.

Another way to make it seem as if you are home when in reality you are not is to make some NOISE!  Many studies have shown that noise tends to drive a potential burglar away from a targeted home. That’s why AUDIOGUARD was made. The audio burglar deterrent CD package incorporates a wide selection of everyday household sounds associated with occupancy to intimidate would be thieves. Within the pack are 3 CDs.  Recorded sounds include vacuuming, doors and chairs moving, and hammering.  The audio on each of the 3 AUDIOGUARD CDs lasts around 60 minutes.

CD 1 - Household 1 (for everyday use)
CD 2 - Household 2 (for prolonged periods such as vacation or while sleeping)
CD 3 - DIY (very loud, great in the garage or workshop)

The FTV-10 Fake TV and AUDIOGUARD are simple, easy, and totally convincing burglar deterrents that are priced to sell.  To see a video review and read more about the Fake TV click on
