The Dummy PIR Camera is a versatile miniature CCD Security camera that produces a high quality
image without the need for a bulky easily seen camera. The Dummy PIR Camera is designed to blend in
with your security alarm detectors to make it difficult for criminals to detect and avoid. It can be used to
provide your home or office with a clear picture that can be easily displayed on a DVR, TV, VCR or
Security Monitor.

The Dummy PIR camera is designed for best performance when used with Swann DVRs and Security
Monitors, but will just as easily work with your existing CCTV Equipment, TV, VCR or a Computer with a
video capture card. The Dummy PIR camera is designed to be used indoors, but could be used outdoors
with a suitable protective housing or enclosure. The Dummy PIR camera can be used for a variety of
purposes including monitoring callers at the door or keeping your car, yard, shop or children’s play area
under observation.
