Product Description
TV Sim is a new burglar deterrent that makes it look like someone is home watching television. TV Sim does this by recreating exactly the sort of light produced by a real TV, which when viewed from outside makes it look like somebody must be watching television.
Most burglars will not take the risk of breaking into an occupied house. So, when a prowler sees that flickering glow that means someone is home watching TV, they know to move on to an easier target. When you are away, TV Sim says "alive" far more than a lamp on a timer ever could. Buy a TV Sim and make your home an unappealing choice for a break-in.

How TV Sim Works:
From outside a home after dusk, you do not see the television picture. You just see the flickering light filtering through the curtains. You probably assume someone is home watching TV. So does the would-be burglar. TV Sim does not make a picture, but makes the same sort of flickering light. It looks like someone must be home watching TV. The burglar is encouraged to move on to a house that looks unoccupied.
Why not just use a TV or light on a timer?
Although a good idea, lights on timers are common place and are not the deterrent they once used to be. If your TV has timer-on / off function then perhaps that is an option, however most don't so simply won't switch on when using a timer, plus in the age of ever more environmentally consciousness running even a modern LED TV unnecessarily is a waste of energy and money.
Burglars will almost always circle a home once before entering. They are looking for the easiest way in, and looking for signs of life. TV Sim gives them just those signs. Few burglars will enter a home that they think is occupied.
Using TV Sim could not be simpler
Place TV Sim where it will light up a room, but you cannot see the TV Sim unit itself from outside. A upstairs room is ideal, but a ground floor room with translucent shades or blinds works fine, too. Then, each evening at dusk TV Sim's built-in light sensor will turn the unit on. TV Sim turns off automatically after a switch-selectable time.

It works!!
For such a small gadget its quite impressive and really does look like tv is on upstairs from outside. Just gives me a bit of extra peace of mind when going out without having to leave the real thing on.
