A dummy camera is a plastic bullet or dome sold as a visual deterrent. UK reviews mention houses, sheds, drives, caravans and shop doorways, when you will not need a clip afterwards. The order of checks is in the [dummy camera buying guide](/hub/electronic-surveillance/dummy-camera/sub/dummy-camera-buying-guide). The twelve amazon.co.uk listings are all that product. Most include a red LED, screws, and often a CCTV sticker. You separate one shell from another by shape, pack size, the battery line, the weather wording, and whether the product table has been filled with real-camera fields. Those fields include a resolution, an app, Wi-Fi, or night colour. Solar dummies on the bestseller page are outside these twelve. The domes are the JUSTOP white and black twins, the BUYGOO pair, the DODUOS pair, the WALI four-pack, the BW2600, and the white BW dome. If the table says batteries are not required, and the bullets or the reviews describe an LED running on cells, treat the table line as catalogue noise.

The best Dummy cameras in detail
Our view
The BW 1100B is a single black dummy bullet at about £8.49, and on amazon.co.uk it sits at Dummy Cameras rank 1 with 4.4 from 7,260 reviews. What you get is a plastic housing with imitation IR LEDs and one flashing LED, not a recording. The bullets put AA cells, which are not included, in a bay under a removable rain shield, and they say the shell can go on a wall or a ceiling. The table also prints IP65, while a UK review says the bay rusts when it gets wet and the light then stops, so that weather line is a claim you should check after rain. Dimensions disagree in the same file: 160 x 80 x 74 mm in the bullets against 10 x 4 x 5 cm on the table. A sticker and a screw count are not on the included-components line, even though a review mentions a CCTV sticker. App control, night colour, and a 1x optical zoom are other table fields, and the controller value is DUMMY CAMERA. The comparison score is 82 out of 100. It is the top pick on rank and review depth, not because the bay was tested in a lab.
Pros
- Largest review file in the set and Dummy Cameras rank 1
- AA size is stated in the bullets
- Wall or ceiling mount
- Reviews that praise the look from a distance
Cons
- Battery bay rust in wet weather, in a UK review
- Table says batteries are not required, against the AA bullet
- Dimensions disagree: 160 x 80 x 74 mm versus 10 x 4 x 5 cm
- Sticker and screw count are not on the included-components line
Best for: You want the dummy bullet UK shoppers rank first, at about £8.49, and you can check the bay after rain.
Less suitable: You need a recording, or you want a stated UK warranty and a sticker line on the listing.

Common questions
Does this BW 1100B record?
No. The title says fake dummy imitation, and the table controller value is DUMMY CAMERA. App control and night colour are other table fields, not a memory card or a recorder.
Which batteries does the listing state?
The bullets say 1.5 V AA batteries, not included, in a bay under a rain shield. The same table says batteries are not required.
What weather rating is printed?
The table says IP65, and the bullets say indoors or outdoors. A UK review says the battery compartment rusts in wet weather and the light then stops. That is a review, not a certificate.
Our view
BW-S89-BL is a single black dummy bullet at about £8.49, rank 33, with 4.4 from 441 reviews. The bullets give 160 x 80 x 74 mm, AA cells not included under a removable rain shield, and water-resistant indoor or outdoor wording with no IP code. The components line lists 1 fake security camera and 3 screws. A UK review says that package had no screws, and a sticker is not on the components line even though a review mentions one. The table prints a different size, 7.4 x 8 x 8.3 cm, plus 1080p, Wi-Fi, and night colour, which are not a working camera. Reviews say it can be angled, and one mentions short battery life. Listed weight is 250 g. It does not record. At the same shelf price as the BW 1100B, the smaller review file and rank 33 are why it sits behind that bullet.
Pros
- AA size and a rain shield are in the bullets
- 3 screws named
- 4.4 from 441 reviews
- Can be angled, in reviews
Cons
- Two different dimension lines
- One review had no screws
- Short battery life in one review
- Rank 33 despite the star line
- No IP code
Best for: You want one black BW bullet at about £8.49 with the screw count written down.
Less suitable: You want the rank 1 BW 1100B instead, or an IP code on the listing.

Our view
BUYGOO OZ-BZ798 is two dome dummies at about £10.99, rank 7, with 4.4 from 290 reviews. The bullets list ABS, 6 screws, 6 dowels, and two warning stickers at 11 x 11 cm, and they say waterproof for indoor and outdoor use with no IP code. Colour is not stated. One UK review says the LED can be switched off, and others mention Duracell cells plus batteries that do not stay in place. The bullets do not name a cell size, and the table says batteries are not required. Bluetooth and an AVI video format sit on the table of a dummy title, so they are not a recorder. The listing gives dimensions of 14.5 x 10 x 10 cm and a weight of 260 g, and there is no stated warranty. The comparison score is 84 out of 100, the highest number in the set, on those written screws and stickers. It is not the top pick, because the review file is 290 and the cell size is missing.
Pros
- Screws, dowels, and sticker size are in the bullets
- 4.4 from 290 reviews
- LED switch mentioned in a review
- ABS named
Cons
- Cell size not stated
- Batteries do not stay in place, in a review
- No IP code
- Colour not stated
Best for: You want two domes at about £10.99 with screws and stickers written into the bullets.
Less suitable: You need a named cell size or an IP code before you order.

Our view
WALI SDW-4 is four white dummy domes at about £15.99, Dummy Cameras rank 4, with 4.3 from 7,100 reviews. The box line lists 4 cameras, 8 screws, 4 warning sticker decals, and an instruction manual, and each camera takes 2 AA cells that are not included. Several UK reviews say the shells look right from a distance and that the batteries are better left out. The table weight of 0.28 g is not a usable mass, and the same table says 12 V, indoor, and batteries not required, against the indoor-and-outdoor AA bullets. Wi-Fi, app control, and night colour are table fields on a dummy title, and the bullets also say there is no motorised pan. Reviews include flattened screw heads and a missing-screw complaint. There is no stated warranty. It is best value here because you get four shells and four stickers at this shelf price, with a review file in the thousands. It does not record.
Pros
- Four domes and four stickers in one box
- Large review file at 7,100
- AA size is stated
- Ceiling or wall, screws included
Cons
- Table says 12 V, indoor, and batteries not required, against the bullets
- Item weight 0.28 g on the table
- Screw heads flattened in a review, and a missing-screw complaint
- No stated warranty
Best for: You want four white domes and warning stickers in one amazon.co.uk box at about £15.99.
Less suitable: You need one camera only, a stated warranty, or a mass and voltage you can trust on the table.

Our view
BW2600 is a single dummy dome at about £7.99, rank 22, with 4.3 from 1,978 reviews. The bullets say a wall bracket and fixings, no wiring, 360 left/right rotation, and 2 AAA cells not included. The table says IP54 and also 4K and night vision, which you should not read as a recorder on a dummy title. A UK review says you need two AA batteries, so the cell size is not settled in the file. Reviews say it looks acceptable from a distance, that the plastic is thin, and that the LED flashes about every 2 seconds. One UK review says it only moves up and down and still faces the wrong way, and that buyer sent it back. Colour on the table is written as a pack count rather than a colour, a CCTV sticker is mentioned in a review rather than in the bullets, and the weight line is 200 g. It does not record.
Pros
- Single-unit price of about £7.99, with 1,978 reviews
- Bracket and fixings in the bullets
- IP54 printed
- AAA size is at least stated in the bullets
Cons
- 4K on the table of a dummy
- AAA versus AA in a review
- Thin plastic and a limited angle in reviews
- Colour is not a colour on the table
Best for: You want one cheap BW dome at about £7.99 and you will check the cell size against the unit in your hand.
Less suitable: You need a named colour, a settled battery size, or a table that does not say 4K.

Our view
DODUOS is two black dummy domes at about £13.59, rank 5, with 4.3 from 805 reviews. The install bullet says 2 AA cells, not supplied, while the table says corded electric, so the LED is a battery job if you follow the bullet. The title and the table say indoor and outdoor, and the table also prints IP54 and water repellent, which is a listing claim rather than a certificate in the file. One bullet says 4 extra warning stickers and, in the same sentence, 2 warning stickers. Reviews include authentic-looking installs and also a light that arrived detached and plastic that fell apart. Weight is listed at 540 g, the country of origin as China, and there is no model number. It does not record.
Pros
- 805 reviews at 4.3
- AA size is in the bullet
- Indoor and outdoor on the title
- IP54 is at least printed
Cons
- Corded electric on the table versus AA in the bullet
- Sticker count contradicts itself
- Broken light and falling-apart plastic in reviews
- No model number
Best for: You want two black domes and can ignore the corded-electric line in favour of the AA bullet.
Less suitable: You need a single sticker count and one power source that the listing does not contradict.

One bullet says 4 extra warning stickers and, in the same sentence, 2 warning stickers. Both figures are on the same listing.
Can it be used outside?

Our view
The JUSTOP black twin is two dummy domes at about £11.95, rank 3, with 4.3 from 322 reviews. The components line names a dummy camera, a screws pack, and a CCTV warning sticker, which is clearer than several other boxes in this set. The table says IP44 and ABS, and the bullets say weather-resistant for indoor and outdoor use on a wall or a ceiling. The bullets do not name AA or AAA, and the table says batteries are not required even though reviews describe fitting cells. A UK review says the LED flashes every 2 seconds rather than every 3 minutes on the box. Another says one unit's batteries were too hot to touch after about 10 minutes, with a suspected short. This listing does not state the one-year UK warranty line that the white JUSTOP twin states, and the table's item count of 1 still sits against a twin-pack title. If the bay warms up, remove the cells and stop.
Pros
- Sticker and screws are on the components line
- Rank 3, 4.3 from 322 reviews
- Wall or ceiling in the bullets
- ABS named
Cons
- Hot batteries and a suspected short in a UK review
- Cell size not in the bullets
- No warranty line on this listing
- Table number of items is 1
Best for: You want the black JUSTOP twin with a sticker named on the listing, and you will pull the cells out if the bay warms up.
Less suitable: You need the cell size and the one-year warranty written on the page before you buy.

QWORK WD43276 is a four-pack of black dummy bullets at about £21.54, rank 6, with 4.3 from only 14 reviews. The bullets say a red LED, 360 degree rotation, yellow CCTV stickers, screws, and expansion tubes, and the title excludes batteries without naming AA or AAA. Seven UK reviews in the file are short and mostly positive, which is too small a sample for a strong quality claim. The bullets say an ABS rainproof shell for indoor and outdoor use, there is no IP code, and the table's indoor field says indoor. The table's item count of 1 does not match the 4-pack title, while the weight line of 948 g is at least a plausible pack mass. It is the highest shelf price in the set. It does not record.
Pros
- Four bullets, signs, and fixings in the title and bullets
- ABS and a rainproof shell are named
- Weight 948 g is at least a plausible pack mass
Cons
- Only 14 reviews
- Cell size not stated
- No IP code
- Number of items is 1 against a 4-pack title
- Highest price in the set
Best for: You want four black bullets and yellow signs and you accept a 14-review file.
Less suitable: You want a cell size, an IP code, or a review file in the hundreds.

The JUSTOP white twin is two dummy domes at about £9.95, Dummy Cameras rank 2, with 4.2 from 292 reviews. You fit 2 AA cells, which the bullets say are not included, and the same bullets name a bracket, screws, and a one-year UK warranty. The table prints IPX4 and also says batteries are not required, which fights the AA line. UK reviews say the shells look right from a distance, and they also say the LED flashes about every few seconds rather than every 3 minutes as on the box. One verified review says the unit smoked and was hot to touch after the batteries were fitted, and another says separating two wires avoided a fire. If a unit heats, stop using it. CCTV labels appear in a review rather than on the components line, and the table's item count of 1 does not match a twin-pack title.
Pros
- One-year UK warranty is written on the listing
- AA size is stated
- Rank 2 in Dummy Cameras
- Bracket and screws in the bullets
Cons
- Smoke and heat in UK reviews
- Flash rate does not match the box, in reviews
- Number of items is 1 on a twin-pack title
- CCTV labels are in a review, not on the components line
Best for: You want two white domes at about £9.95 and a warranty line you can point at, and you will check the bay is cool after fitting cells.
Less suitable: You will not accept a listing that already has a smoke review, or you need a black shell.

QWORK WD42089 is two silver dummy bullets at about £12.85, rank 13, with 4.1 from 98 reviews. The bullets match the black four-pack's wording: a red LED, 360 degree rotation, yellow stickers, screws, expansion tubes, and a rainproof ABS shell. A UK review of the silver finish says it looks a little fake close up and convincing once it is on the wall. One review says it takes 2 AAA batteries that are not included, which is the only cell size in the file, because the bullets do not name one. Another says the plastic is brittle and there is no seal, and doubts a downpour, against the rainproof wording and the lack of an IP code. One owner still had the LED flashing after two months. The table's item count of 1 does not match the pair, and one buyer had hoped for solar, which this listing is not. It does not record.
Pros
- Silver is a stated finish
- Signs and screws are in the bullets
- 98 reviews, more than the QWORK four-pack
- LED still going after two months, in one review
Cons
- Brittle plastic. One broke while being marked up
- No seal, in a review, against a rainproof bullet
- Cell size only from a review
- Not solar, which one buyer had hoped
- Table item count is 1
Best for: You want two silver bullets with stickers at about £12.85 and you will handle the plastic gently.
Less suitable: You need a written IP code or a battery size in the bullets.

The white BW dome, model BWDUMMY DOME -W, is a single unit at about £7.99 with 3.9 from 1,342 reviews and rank 12.

Other reviews say it looks right from a few feet away, that some units arrived with the camera section detached inside, and that screw holes were misaligned. The bullets do not name a cell. Reviews mention AA cells, including a single AA, while the table says batteries are not required. Night colour and app control are table fields, not a recording.
Pros

Lylxienty HCY-018 is two dummy bullets at about £14.99, rank 29, with 3.9 from 24 reviews, first listed on 16 March 2025. The title says 2 cameras, 2 CCTV signs, and screws, and the bullets add ABS, a 360 degree stand with two pivot points, and waterproof wording with no IP code. Package dimensions are 27.9 x 22.5 x 7 cm and the weight is 406 g. Reviews include a bright LED and a caravan with no mains, which is one owner's use rather than a specification. The same listing includes a poor angle, a fiddly battery bay, and a verified review that it takes AAA cells, not AA as stated. The bullets do not name the cell, so the size stays unresolved. Twenty-four reviews is a small file at a price above several larger ones in this set. It does not record.
Pros
- Two cameras and two stickers in the title
- ABS and a 360 degree stand are in the bullets
- Light enough for a caravan, in a review
Cons
- Only 24 reviews
- AA versus AAA is unresolved
- No IP code
- Dearer than several larger review files
- Angle adjustment criticised
Best for: You want two bullets with stickers and can live with a 24-review file.
Less suitable: You want a settled battery size or the rank 1 BW bullet at a lower price.

Common questions
How many cameras are in the Lylxienty pack?
The title says 2PCS, plus 2 CCTV signs and screws. The bullets repeat 2 cameras and 2 warning stickers.
AA or AAA?
The bullets do not name the cell. A verified UK review is titled that it takes AAA batteries, not AA as stated. Treat the size as unresolved.
Is there an IP rating?
No code in this file. The bullets say waterproof and indoor and outdoor.
How we compared
Twelve amazon.co.uk dummy-camera listings were read from the stored pages. Stars, review counts and shelf prices are those listings. There was no laboratory test and no burglary study. The BW 1100B is the top pick: Dummy Cameras rank 1, 4.4 from 7,260 reviews, about £8.49, comparison score 82 out of 100. The WALI SDW-4 is best value: four white domes and four warning stickers at about £15.99, with 4.3 from 7,100 reviews. The weights below are the share of attention given to each check. They sum to 100.
1
Review evidence
25%amazon.co.uk stars and review count on that listing. A file of 14 or 24 reviews cannot carry the same weight as several thousand. Counts are not borrowed from another marketplace.
2
Honest dummy listing
25%The title says dummy, fake, imitation or decoy, and table rows such as 4K, Wi-Fi, an app or night colour are not treated as a recorder. A controller value of DUMMY CAMERA supports that reading.
3
Battery line
20%A named cell size in the bullets, with batteries not included, scores more clearly than a table that says batteries are not required while reviews fit cells.
4
Shape, pack and signs
15%Bullet or dome, and whether the pack matches the number of doorways. A sticker named on the components line is clearer than a sticker that appears only in a review.
5
Weather wording and price
15%An IP code or the words waterproof or rain shield, kept as written. A review of rust or a missing seal is a deduction, not a new rating. Price is the GBP shelf price against how many shells you get.

Dummy camera buying guide
Confirm that a visual deterrent is the whole job before you compare stickers and LEDs. These twelve amazon.co.uk listings are plastic bullets and domes. They do not record. The top pick is the BW 1100B at about £8.49. Best value is the WALI four-pack at about £15.99. Prices are the shelf figures stored with the listings. This page is not a laboratory test and it does not measure burglary.
What is a dummy camera?
A dummy camera is a plastic bullet or dome housing sold as a visual deterrent. It does not record. The twelve amazon.co.uk listings in this comparison are all that product. Most include a red LED, screws, and often a CCTV sticker. Reviews from UK shoppers mention houses, sheds, drives, caravans and shop doorways. That is the job when you will not need a clip afterwards.
Best for
- A householder who wants a shell and will not need a clip
- Someone who already records and wants extra housings
Not ideal for
- Anyone who needs a face, a number plate, or a file for an insurer
- A shop or landlord who would describe the shell as a camera that films people
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Reading 4K, Wi-Fi or night colour as real
Several tables in this set print a resolution, an app, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or night colour. The titles say dummy, fake or imitation, and the bullets describe an LED. Those table fields are not a memory card. The BW2600 table says 4K. The BW-S89-BL table says 1080p. Neither is a recorder.
- 2
Assuming the cells are in the box
Batteries are usually not included. A table line that batteries are not required sits on several listings whose bullets or reviews describe an LED on cells. Name the cell size from the bullets when it is there. AA is stated on the BW 1100B, the white JUSTOP twin, the WALI pack and the DODUOS pair. The BW2600 bullets say AAA, and a review says AA.
- 3
Wording a sticker as if you are recording
A decal in the box is not permission to say the camera films. The Advertising Standards Authority has upheld an unsubstantiated CCTV claim under the CAP Code. Do not mount the shell at hand height if you want it to look like a fixed camera, and do not keep using a unit whose cells are too hot to touch.
What to weigh up
A deterrent, not a recorder
HighThe first check is the job. If you need a face, a number plate, or a file for the police or an insurer, this category is the wrong shelf. Every listing kept here is a plastic housing. The titles use dummy, fake, imitation or decoy. A table can still be filled with real-camera fields: 4K on the BW2600, 1080p and Wi-Fi on the BW-S89-BL, app control and night colour on the BW 1100B, Bluetooth and an AVI format on the BUYGOO pair, Wi-Fi and night colour on the WALI pack.
Pack, cells, weather words and the sticker line
HighMatch the pack to the number of doorways, not to a security grade. One bullet is the BW 1100B or the BW-S89-BL, both about £8.49. One dome at about £7.99 is the BW2600 or the white BW dome. Four shells are the WALI domes at about £15.99 or the QWORK black bullets at about £21.54. The QWORK tables say number of items is 1 against a multi-pack title. Use the title count. Power is the next line.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Several doors, one box
You want four white domes and warning stickers without buying four separate listings. The WALI SDW-4 is about £15.99, with 4.3 from 7,100 reviews. Each camera takes 2 AA cells, not included. Ignore the table weight of 0.28 g and the 12 V line.
A shop that must not claim filming
You want a black twin with a CCTV warning sticker named on the components line, and you will not tell staff or customers that the shells record. The JUSTOP black twin is about £11.95, with 4.3 from 322 reviews. A UK review says batteries became too hot to touch. Pull the cells if the bay warms up.
Common questions about Dummy cameras
Which dummy camera is the top pick in 2026?
The top pick is the BW 1100B black bullet, about £8.49 on amazon.co.uk. It is rank 1 in Dummy Cameras, with 4.4 from 7,260 reviews, and the comparison score is 82 out of 100. You get a plastic bullet with a flashing LED, not a recording. The bullets say AA cells, not included, under a rain shield. The table says IP65. A UK review says the bay rusts when wet, so check it after rain. That score is not a laboratory result.
Which dummy camera is best value?
Best value is the WALI SDW-4, four white dummy domes at about £15.99, with 4.3 from 7,100 reviews. The box line lists four cameras, eight screws and four warning stickers. Each camera takes 2 AA cells, which are not included. The table also says 12 V and a weight of 0.28 g, which is not a usable mass. Follow the AA bullet, not those table rows. Four shells at this price is why it is best value. It does not record.
Does a dummy camera record?
No. Every listing in this set is a dummy, fake or imitation housing. A resolution, an app, Wi-Fi or night colour on the Amazon table is not a memory card. The bullets describe an LED, screws and, on some models, a sticker. If you need a face, a number plate or a file for an insurer, leave this category. The split is set out in dummy camera vs real CCTV.
How much does a dummy camera cost?
In these twelve amazon.co.uk listings, one unit is about £7.99 to £8.49. Twin packs run from about £9.95 to £14.99. The WALI four-pack is about £15.99 and the QWORK four black bullets are about £21.54. About £4 to £8 a camera is a rule of thumb for this basket, not a survey of every dummy on the site. Prices are the shelf figures stored with the listings, in GBP. Batteries are usually extra.
Are the batteries included?
Usually not. Where the bullets name a cell, it is AA or, on the BW2600, AAA, and the line says not included. Several tables also say batteries are not required. If reviews describe an LED on cells, follow the bullet rather than that table row. The JUSTOP black twin, the BUYGOO pair, both QWORK packs, the white BW dome and the Lylxienty pair do not name a cell size in the bullets. Check the unit in your hand.
Do I have to register a dummy camera with the ICO?
The ICO guidance on organisational video surveillance does not cover dummy or non-operational systems, because personal data is unlikely to be processed. That page is not a duty to register a householder's decoy. A sticker is still not permission to say you are recording. The Advertising Standards Authority has upheld an unsubstantiated CCTV claim. If a real camera films past your boundary, the ICO home-CCTV page applies instead. GOV.UK says the Surveillance Camera Commissioner does not regulate domestic CCTV.
What if the battery bay gets hot?
Stop. JUSTOP twin reviews describe smoke or cells too hot to touch. Remove the cells and do not put them back. The General Product Safety Regulations 2005 require a safe consumer product in Great Britain. The short-term right to reject under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 22, is 30 days after delivery. Heat is a reason to stop using the unit. It is not a reason to hide a smoking shell higher on the wall. This page did not heat-test any listing.
When should I buy a real camera instead?
Buy a real camera when you need a face, a number plate, or a file you can keep. A dummy will not give you that clip. A shop should not describe a shell as a system that films staff or the street. BS EN 62676 and BS 8418 apply to real systems, and these listings do not claim them. Recording kits in this hub are on the security camera set page. Get an installer for monitored CCTV.
Our verdict
The top pick is the BW 1100B black bullet at about £8.49. It is Dummy Cameras rank 1, with 4.4 from 7,260 reviews, and the comparison score is 82 out of 100. A UK review says the battery bay rusts when wet, so check it after rain. Best value is the WALI SDW-4, four white domes at about £15.99, with 4.3 from 7,100 reviews and stickers in the box. The BUYGOO pair scores 84, on screws and stickers written into the bullets, but it has 290 reviews and no cell size in the bullets. None of these housings records. None of the scores is a laboratory test or a measured effect on burglary.
