Is there anywhere where i can get a package kit with a few fake dome cameras and a mounting pole to install to deter crime at our lake side park. We have no way to run wires down to it so we though a fake camera would work. Thank you

would it also "work" to create a false expectation of crime deterrence /indirectly of personal or property safety ?

John,

Simply do an internet search for security camera enclosures.

I would also encourage you to check with an attorney.
The question I would ask would be:
Would the fake camera cause any liability issues because individuals thought they were real?

We were getting kids walking through looking for unlocked cars.

So we put up a couple of dummy cameras a couple of years ago. When there's motion in the area below the camera, red led lights flash on and off.

Only a few homeowners have even noticed them. When someone inquires, we tell them that they're dummies.

Don't think we're creating any false expectations, but we may have discouraged those roaming teens.
