    Say your average scummer with no brain, would he spot a dummy camera?
    I guess an experienced burglar would know the difference, are the dummies a good option?

    Purpose made "Dummy" cameras are generally poor and look like dummy cameras.

    What most pro installers do is install real camera housing with an old lens in up tight to the glass and you wouldn't tell if it was working or not.

    +1 to all what Fred says.
    For the record. I have never installed a camera with a flashing red LED...:P
