It deters, records nothing, and everyone should know which · review
Two bullet-style shells with a built-in solar panel driving the LED, which Sporgo states blinks every two to five seconds. No batteries to replace, and no camera inside.
The conclusion The decoy that needs no maintenance. Everything else about it is the same as every other decoy: it records nothing.
The one genuine advantage of these shells is that nobody ever has to service them. A solar cell drives the LED, so there are no AA cells to replace in an object that does nothing.
If the LED needs no maintenance, does the LED help? Not much. Real cameras rarely flash while recording, and a housing that pulses on a wall is recognisable as a decoy to anyone who has seen a real installation. Sporgo’s two-to-five-second interval is at least slower than the frantic flash of the cheapest shells, which makes it ambiguous rather than obvious.
Many real solar cameras have their panel on a separate bracket, aimed at the sun rather than at the approach; some, like the Socheerfull Q4 or the COOAU C5 on this site, build it into the housing. A strip of cell on a bullet-style shell is still more typical of a decoy. It is a small point and it is the kind of detail somebody looking carefully will notice.
It records nothing. There is no sensor and no storage, and an incident in front of it produces no evidence of any kind. That sentence appears on every page in this family because it is the only honest way to sell these objects.
An outdoor corner, out of reach, where a real camera is not justified and nobody wants a maintenance job.
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Not really. Real solar cameras exist, and their panel is often a separate unit on its own bracket, though some build it into the housing. What solar genuinely buys here is that nobody has to get a ladder out to change batteries in something that does nothing.
Marginally. A fast, bright flash is unmistakably a decoy; a slow pulse every few seconds is at least ambiguous. The most convincing setting remains no light at all, because that is what real cameras usually look like.
The same as with any small solar cell: less light in, less blinking out. On a north-facing wall in December it may stop altogether — which, given everything above, is not much of a loss.

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.
