Chad's Crappy Corner & Another 'Cheap Security Gadget' - His Theme For March, 2017

Chad polled our great Patreon members to pick a theme for his March “Chad's Crappy (or sometimes not so crappy) Corner. They picked “Cheap Security Gadgets”. Chad's 2^nd Cheap Security Guard is a decent looking, but dummy (fake) solar powered security camera.

Chad bought his dummy solar-powered security camera at http://www.spycenter.com/. The list price was $27.00, but it was on sale for less than $20. Unfortunately, as you'll see in the video, when Chad unboxed his new security camera, one of the wires that connects to the solar panel on top was broken. However there was enough power in the two rechargeable AAA batteries which were included, for the red 'on' LED light to blink. The camera does look real even though it's made of plastic. When mounted out of reach I think it could easily pass for a real security camera. Chad's camera also came with a little 'Video Surveillance Warning Sticker' for a window or door. Chad likes his fake camera, but wished it was in total working condition out of the box.

Chad's Cam looked like this, but watch this week's video.I searched for 'dummy security camera' on the http://www.spycenter.com/ website and no results came up. But not to worry. There are many dummy security camera on Amazon. There's a solar powered one on Amazon for $12.00. Here's what Amazon says about it:
