I remember them well: always understood that they were what we would these days call "security theatre" (or shoud that be security-pantomime?)

In the same vein: 1980s/1990s fake 'security-cameras' that come with an embedded PP3-battery/LM3909-chip/red-flashing-LED. Real security-cameras don't draw attention to themselves with flashing red LEDs and the real criminals know this.
