The more I read I get the impression that it is not as covert a device as I might wish. Opinions? If someone saw it next to my bed would it seem real?

I've never had anyone say "is that a camera?". It looks like a real clock. It functions like one as well. To me, its a great piece, I use it everyday when I'm at work. I did make the mistake of setting my alarm clock next to it..lol That raised some red flags as to why I need 2 alarm clocks.

I would say real . . looks just like ones sold by stores, etc. And it REALLY works.

hii read that this device has a blue light that comes on to let you know it's secretly recording....if that's so then the scene or screen changes somewhat. that's something i'd notice if it came on whenever there's movement. please clarify.

I think it's a bit like Goldilocks (of "thee bears" fame) would want it... it seems just right. It doesn't wait until total pitch darkness to illuminate, but when there is sufficient ambient light, it shuts itself off. It does it well enough that it seems natural and unobtrusive to us.

I'm pretty sure it's real. I love mine by the way, it's perfect because it's protective when you need it but not bulkey when you're using it

It doesn't look fake, if that helps. And it works to charge batteries. Note it has a flip-out plug and not the separate cord as pictured.

It's says FakeTV on the device. I'm very happy with it. I use a timer on a lamp to come on before dusk and go off at 9. Then the FakeTV comes on and looks like you're watching TV until 1. I have it in an upstairs bedroom. The shadows and light it creates are very realistic.

I have been having a hard time trying to figure out what the device is finding. It sounds when pointed at walls and ceilings, still have some figuring out to do. They do claim it will pick up cameras, this is yet to be proven.

I tried putting mine under the bed. It still made the whole bed glow like something out of "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind". Had to resort to black electrical tape (two layers at the brightest spots) and the danged thing still glows out of the plug sockets (but not too badly.) Why did they have to go overboard with the lighting on this thing? Nobody is impressed by green led lights anymore. They're just a PITA.

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.

I'm sure I don't know about that, but I doubt it - it's a toy and most likely not calibrated to be accurate for any purpose other than raising the hair on the back of the necks of people who choose to believe there are ghosts in every nearby standing wave. It appears that Tom Curran has provided a much more authoritative answer.

It's bright but not extremely bright. At night I had it across the room and pointed it toward the window but with a light on in the room, you could not see the fake TV. It's no different than having your TV on during the day. You probably couldn't see a real TV flickering light against your blinds or curtains either. If you position it too close to the window, then it's obvious it's a small light source pointed at the window. I think it's excellent on a second story with the blinds slightly open. With blinds, you need the room dark. During the day, you'll need the blinds open (but fake TV can't be visible) or sheer blinds. It's bright but not extremely bright.

From a distance, one might believe it's real. Don't do too many takes though. The longevity of this gun is short.

T. Wilson, if you read my review, and particularly the excerpts of the Zubie privacy disclosure I posted in the comments section below the review, you'll see this device is absolutely going to be used to spy on you once installed. You might be surprised how much information can be obtained from this device.

Unfreaking believable! The UPS guy came this morning and I had to help him get the TV to my apt (second floor). I work midshifts so I had to get some sleep. I got up this evening and opened it all up...............The screen is completly destroyed! Not the outside glass, but the part behind that is destroyed and in pieces. I video taped the whole unwrapping process so I hope they don't give me any problems in returning it (remember, this is through 6ave). I have had the worst luck with this whole process. I swear it looks like someone threw the tv down the stairs. :( To add insult to injury, Amazon now has it for $150 less than I purchased it; on amazon. Unfreaking believable!
