When it detects moviment nearby, it moves in both directions (that is, it pans back and forth) a couple of times, as the red LED light blinks. It uses three "AA" batteries that can last for several months (assuming it is activated around 4 times a day). There's an ON/OFF switch outside. No wiring needed for installation (it has an actual white wire behind it, faking its insertion into the wall).
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it doesn't react to movement everytime. Most times it works, but sometimes it just doesn't (as if it had an automatic on/off timer). But this is not a big issue because even without moving and blinking, it is still there and do intimidate intruders and thieves sucessfully (well, I hope so). Additionally, one of the 3 units I bought just don't move or blink at all.
If you want a fake camera that really looks like an original surveillance camera, look for those models with the lens built-in inside a metal body, without movements, sounds or blinking LEDs. SE Fake Surveillance Camera with Sensor
I bought 6 of these cameras for our various offices and they are very noisy. They move alot, but due to the noise they make one would not be able to use them in an office environment. When they move back and forth they don't really focus at the person who activated the motion sensor, so that appeared to be very unrealistic. Their appearance from a distance might fool some, but they look very much like a toy.
Piece of junk from China! Amazon should be embarrassed to even show it on their web site. Sensor won't detect motion more than 6" if at all. All screws strip out to access battery box then you can't keep it together. Not water proof for outdoor use. Shipping costs more than product. Very misleading ad with lack of honest information. I was one of the suckers born every minute on this item. If I could rate it a ZERO I would. Anything that even looks like this one is junk! I learned my lesson. Avoid these like the plague.
As posted by the other person, this is a piece of junk. Don't waste your money. It's supposed to have a motion detector, but it's like a light sensor or something that only flashes the LED when something moves 3 inches in front of it. USELESS!. I ordered 3 of them and NONE of them worked. The sensor is supposed to make the camera swivel around like it was a real one. Nope... didn't work. Buy if you just want a fake camera to sit there but don't expect the electronics to work. - Security Camera - Dummy Camera Surveillance - Home Security - Fake Security Camera
