Product Description

The FTV-11 is even brighter than our FTV-10!

Ever notice the flickering glow shining from your neighbor's windows when they are watching TV? Burglars do too, so they know to move on to another target. FakeTV simulates the light output of a television, making it look like someone is home watching TV. The light effects of real television programming — scene changes, fades, flicks, swells, and more — are all faithfully simulated by FakeTV. Much like the FTV-10, the FakeTV model FTV-11 makes light like a television does. It just makes more of it! That makes the effect more noticeable, especially when used in larger rooms.

  • Our Brightest FakeTV!
  • Simulates the light output of a 40" HDTV
  • Built-In Light sensor and timer
  • Uses the same power as a nightlight
  • 12 Super bright LED's with polished chrome reflector
  • US style AC adaptor and instructions included

Burglars do not like occupied houses; why risk getting caught. When they see that flickering glow, they know someone is inside watching TV. FakeTV is a simple DIY security device that gives the impression that someone is home and they are watching television right now. Burglars will not be able to distinguish FakeTV from a real TV.

FakeTV FTV-11

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.

Back FTV-11

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 Logo

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!

An Ingenious Little Device
The FakeTV Burglar Deterrent is an inexpensive little addition to your home security equipment. This palm sized device sits atop a desk or table and, from the street, gives the illusion of someone being at home, watching TV. No complicated set-up or subscription plan. Pretty much just plug-and-play.
