> 3 dayWe have one in two houses. I just purchased 2 more for more rooms. We even keep them on in another room when in the house. This is so realistic a neighbor was concerned that someone might be in the house watching tv while we were away. There are a few settings. We choose dusk plus 7 hours or dusk plus 4 hours. Its great!

13-06-2025Its small but powerful! I was expecting a larger unit, but for the size (aAprox. 3 x 2 1/2 ) it packs a lot of light. I love how the brightness and colors vary from small LED lights. An additional bonus is that you can choose how long you want to be on or leave on. I think I might leave it on and then attach a timer to it as my viewing habits vary by day/night and by room. I might consider getting another one to make it look that Ive moved from the living room to a bedroom. For a burglary deterrent, its a great idea.

Greater than one weekworks great. I use a timer, but it has a built in one too. Make sure you have a shade for it to reflect on.

> 3 dayFakeTV FTV-10 works better, brigther and cheaper than this model FTV-11. I would buy FTV-10 and save $10 instead. It is very tiny unit unlike it looks on the picture.

> 3 dayThis thing is pricey for what it is, honestly it is a toy. Plastic and blinky lights, light as a feather....BUT...placed a few feet from a window and it honestly looks like a TV is playing when looked upon from the outside. Id say a little extra security makes it worth the price.

11-06-2025I bought two of these faketvs and love it. I also bought timers and was surprised that the timer was not needed. probably an oversight on my part but the faketv has off, on switch but it also has 4 hour and 7 hour timer built in. all my neighbors love it as well. now I will use the timers for something else. great product!!

> 3 dayI originally purchased a similar product called T.V. Simulator Extra Bright Burglar Deterrent to provide extra security after recently becoming a burglary victim. The product arrived with a European plug instead of a U.S. 110A.C. plug. I returned the product and purchased Fake T.V. Cant begin to tell you how satisfied I am with it. I wanted to make my home appear to be occupied when I wasnt home. Shortly after buying it I I left for vacation and placed the Fake TV on a timer to run at night. Of course while I was away I worried about being victimized again. When I returned home I was speaking to a neighbor about my trip. He mentioned that I had apparently forgot and left T.V. on in my bedroom while I was away. I didnt let him know the light he saw was really Fake TV. I use it everyday and it works perfectly. Definitely sold on it. I will be buying an additional one for the living room and program it to run on a different timer. Recommend Fake TV to anyone looking to enhanced their home security
Our brightest model in the FakeTV lineup!
The FTV-11 is 3 times brighter than our models FTV-10 and FTV-7. Use it in larger rooms or when FakeTV needs to be further from the window. FakeTV uses super bright LED"s that will last for a long time. If you use your FakeTV every night, the LED"s will last for 20 years.
Easy to Use
Using FakeTV couldn"t be simpler-- plug in the device and set the switch to Dusk + 4 or 7 hours. The FakeTV will turn on at night, every night! No WiFi to setup, no clock to set, no app to download, and no software updates.
Alternatively, the FakeTV can be used with a simple lamp timer and set to times you want it to be on. Simply, plug the FakeTV into the lamp timer, set the lamp timer, and set the FakeTV switch to ON.
Appear home with FakeTV
FakeTV is an excellent DIY security solution. There is nothing to install-- no drilling or wiring needed. It works great in conjunction with a whole home security system. Whole home security systems are great, we use them ourselves, but they don"t prevent the smash and grab type break-ins where the burglar is in and out before the police are even notified. FakeTV helps prevent this by alerting the the burglar that someone is inside.
Hydreon Corporation
Experts in optics and high volume manufacturing, Hydreon Corporation teamed up with author and inventor Blaine Readler to further develop his invention for a television simulator. Hydreon studied the flickering glow in detail, gathering much data with sophisticated instruments about the intensity and color variations emanating from a real television. Engineers wrote computer programs to simulate the effects produced by TV programming. While the FakeTV FTV-10 is the initial fruit of this hard work and ingenuity, the FTV-11 goes even further!
