How do we make sure that our home is well protected from burglary or intruders?
We install expensive alarm systems, we join neighborhood watch program and most commonly leave our lights on.
How about leaving the television on, which might prevent a probable intrusion considering that the intruder is smart enough not to trespass a home where its occupants are awake and watching television. But why spend extra money on electricity when there are people who have invented a product that creates an illusion of a Television running, when actually it is FakeTV.
FakeTV is a product from Opto-Electronic Design Inc. which creates light of real High Definition Television; it fills the room with thousands of colors, just like a 'real' television does. According to its creators, "FakeTV simulates scene changes, fades, swells, and and on-screen motion. From outside, it looks just like someone is home watching TV.
So, if there is someone on a lookout for house to rob, they would rather choose a house which looks dark and empty; why risk a house which might have people awake and take the risk of getting caught. FakeTV is a very clever creation indeed.
Apart from its 'very obvious' usage, FakeTV is pretty purposeful for those who wish to sleep with their television on.
Whatever and whenever the usage maybe, the innovation behind this product is truly commendable; a wicked yet very purposeful idea.
We have one of those FakeTV jobbies... it really is amazing how when you see the light from the TV, you just assume someone is home. I figure I just need to make my house uninviting enough for thieves that the guy down the street is a better target.
