Best Answer

It depends what you mean by surveillance. Anyone can mount security cameras on their property - provided it's not deliberately aimed into another person's home. You can record amy image from your own security cameras (but you cannot 'broadcast' images of people without their consent). You cannot use covert equipment in someone else's home without them being aware the equipment is installed. Some examples...

A... You fix a camera to your house, pointing down your drive, to monitor your car - Perfectly legal.

B... Your camera 'happens' to have a clear view of the bedroom in the house opposite - Illegal (invasion of privacy).

C... You 'hide' a camera inside a teddy bear - because you suspect your babysitter is abusig your child. Legal - so long as you don't post the footage on the 'net.

Is it legal to use fake survellince cameras for security purposes?

Fake surveillance cameras are often a good way to deter thieves without the expense of a real surveillance system. Unless a real surveillance system is required for your particular business by local or state law, fake cameras are completely legal. (Even if your business is required to have a real surveillance system, you can probably have fake cameras in addition to the real ones. However, you would have to read your city or state's law.)
