4. Or Hang Fake Security Cameras

If you want to keep burglars away from your house but don’t want to install security cameras, get fake ones. Yes, we’re talking about non-functional surveillance cameras that look identical to the real deal. The best part? Nobody’s going to know they don’t work.

Most burglars scout a house for cameras, but they don’t check whether or not the devices work. Believe it or not, Amazon, Lowe’s, and Home Depot sell fake cameras.

Once you’ve bought these, hang them outdoors; most are designed to withstand the climate. Make sure that they are easy to spot but not too obvious. Remember, you’re tricking would-be criminals into thinking that your house will record them if they break in.
