Real or Fake CCTV Camera?

    I dont know that real CCTV cameras came with flashing LEDS, so if I saw on with a flashing LED I would assume its fake.

    As others have said - cheap LED PIR light - not a long job to fit, better to get a spark to do it but is easy enough to do it yourself. When I fitted one, I took the power from the rear of a socket (via a fused & switched spur). If you get a LED version, will draw very little current, so been on the socket won't be the end of the world. If you dont have sockets near the location, use conduit to run with cable within.
