Jiavlyx CYC-99 review
A pair of weatherproof bullet-style shells running on two AAA cells each, with mounting hardware supplied. Jiavlyx states outdoor suitability; neither shell contains a camera.
The conclusion Choose it only if your real cameras are bullets too. Otherwise a dome decoy hides more.
Bullet-shaped shells, sold in pairs, running on two AAA cells each. Neither
contains a camera and neither records anything.
Why the shape matters more than usual here
A bullet camera announces where it is pointing, and the eye follows the
housing back to the wall looking for the cable. On a real camera there is one.
On a decoy there is not, and the absence is exactly where the shape draws
attention.
A dome hides both facts: which way it points, and whether anything connects to
it. That is why most convincing decoys are domes and why this shape is the
harder one to get away with.
When a bullet decoy is the right choice
When the real cameras are bullets too. A frontage with four matching housings,
two of them real, is far more difficult to read than a mixture of shapes and
finishes from different makers. Consistency is the most useful thing a decoy
can borrow from the equipment around it.
What it does, and does not
It blinks. It records nothing, stores nothing and produces nothing. As
everywhere in this family, it belongs alongside real cameras and never
instead of them.
Who it suits
Somebody extending an installation of real bullet cameras with one or two
housings that do not need to work.

The questions we are asked
Bullet or dome for a decoy?
Dome, usually. A bullet camera visibly points somewhere, so the eye follows the housing to where the cable should emerge — and on a decoy there is none. A dome hides both the direction and the absence, which is why most convincing decoys are domes.
Does matching my real cameras help?
Yes. A property with four identical bullet housings, two of which are real, is far harder to read than one with three real bullets and one obvious dome from a different maker. Consistency is the most effective thing a decoy can borrow.
Is it really weatherproof?
Jiavlyx states outdoor suitability. There is no published IP rating, and there is also nothing inside to damage — the worst outcome is a shell that fills with water and stops blinking, which changes nothing about what it does.

Two dome shells · blinking LED · indoor or outdoor · fixings included · records nothing
The two-shell box of the same BASI dome. Identical housing, identical blinking LED, identical absence of any camera — and a lower price per unit than buying two singles.
Best for: Two secondary corners on the same property, when the single has already proved good enough.
Dome shell · blinking LED · indoor or outdoor · fixings included · records nothing
A dome-shaped shell with a blinking LED and a molded lens, sold by a German lock and security hardware maker. It records nothing at all, and this page will not suggest otherwise.
Best for: A low-value approach already covered by a real camera elsewhere, where a second housing costs nine euros instead of ninety.
Four dome shells · red blinking LED · four warning stickers · records nothing
Four dome shells with red blinking LEDs and, more usefully, four warning stickers. DODUOS states wall, ceiling or door mounting; none of the four contains a camera.
Best for: A larger property or a small business frontage where several corners need marking cheaply.
