Product Information
Full details
The Nedis TV Simulator is designed for anyone seeking a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to deter potential intruders. By mimicking the light patterns of a real television, it creates the illusion that someone is home, even when the property is vacant. A key benefit is its automatic operation via a built-in sunset timer. Note that while effective, it's not a foolproof security solution and should be used in conjunction with other security measures.
