FakeTV is a Green Way to Prevent Burglaries
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minnesota, October 25, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
A burglar deterrent called "FakeTV" saves energy and might possibly save
your possessions. FakeTV came into existence because Blaine Readler of
California used to leave his television on every time he left home. He
figured that if a would-be thief saw the flickering glow of a TV he would
think someone is home. The burglar would likely move on to an easier target.
One evening it occurred to Blaine that all the burglar would see was the
light shining through the curtains. He would not see the actual images shown
on the power-hungry television. It seemed a shame to waste all that energy
making a picture nobody saw. Blaine set about to invent a device called
"FakeTV" that replicates the light made by a TV, but not the images.
Blaine studied real televisions. The light they produce may seem random
at first glance. A closer look shows that the TV light consists of scene
changes, on-screen motion, color changes, and other elements. You would not,
for example, confuse the light from a TV with the random flashing colored
lights made by a Christmas tree. FakeTV reproduces all of the light effects
of real TV, and it never repeats. The result? Viewed from outside the home,
FakeTV looks just like real TV.
Most televisions turn on with buttons and cannot be used with timers.
Leaving a television set on for days at a time is an effective burglar
deterrent, but a waste of energy. FakeTV is much greener, consuming just one
fiftieth the power of a real television. Yet, the twelve built-in
super-bright LEDs produce the equivalent total light output of a 27" LCD TV.
Also, televisions gradually get dimmer with time. It wastes resources to use
up the life of the TV with nobody watching it. One customer says she needed
a television on to fall asleep, and now she uses her FakeTV. That is a green
benefit Blaine did not expect!
FakeTV costs about euro 35 in most European countries. FakeTV is a
trademark of Hydreon Corporation, and the device is patented. For more
