What is the Best Hidden Spy Camera?

What is the Best Hidden Spy Camera?

Because of huge advances in technology, hidden spy cameras are becoming more common than ever. Used to be that only law enforcement and government agencies could afford them or had the technical expertise to use and install them.

Now they are cheaper and less intimidating. So much so everyone can afford one with prices starting at under $100.00 and so easy to use and install even I can do it.

Spy cameras are just board cameras hidden inside an item used everyday in a home, business or office. Some examples include cordless phones, tissue box, a screw or button, CO detector, alarm clock, wall clocks, exit sign and so many more-as many as 60 or more.

The whole idea of course is to catch someone doing something they shouldn't be doing-like stealing from you or your business. Spy cameras are great for use as nanny cameras too-keeping an eye on your baby sitter or home security.

Price competition and huge advances in technology are two reasons for the big increases in usage of spy cameras. They are used for many reasons all based on someone doing something they shouldn't be doing. Home security, business security, stealing, cheating on a spouse, abuse of a spouse or child are all common reasons to have a hidden camera.

"Hidden spy cameras are board cameras mounted inside a household or office object-the more common the better. They have office, business and home applications. "

"Spy cameras, wireless cameras, and video cameras are all ways of finding out what is going on when you can's be there. The wall clock spy cam with DVR built in is a good example of a hidden camera and hidden DVR. "

Hidden spy cameras are becoming more popular as folks figure out how valuable they can be in a wide variety of settings from home, office or business. Like virtually everything else in the world there is a learning curve. Here's how to get the most out of your video camera.

Spy cameras are just board cameras hidden inside a household or office item to catch someone doing something wrong or possibly illegal. Undercover law enforcers have used hidden cameras for years in stings. They used to be so expensive only government agencies could afford them. Now they are affordable for everyone.

Here's how to get the most out of your spy camera especially using it as a security camera.

1. Read the Instructions-"when all else fails read the directions" is one of my mantras. It should be first.

2. Surveillance Area-determine what area you want covered. Spy cams have limited fields of view usually sixty degrees or so.

3. Hook It Up-hidden cams require a DVR or some recording device record images unless you have the new models with a built in DVR

4. Plug and Test-plug it in and test it to be sure you are covering the area you want.

It really shouldn't be any harder that this. If it is you may be doing it wrong. In any event when you get your hidden spy camera make sure there is adequate customer service and technical service available if you need it. Not all distributors are created equally. Some excel at service-most don't!

The Best Place to Buy Hidden Spy Cameras

Hidden spy cameras are becoming more popular than ever before. Part of the reason is because they have become more inexpensive and much easier to use and hook up. In the old days, like 5-10 years ago, only law enforcement agencies and government agencies could afford them and knew how to hook them up.

A hidden spy camera is simply a board camera hidden inside a common household or office item making it impossible to know you are being recorded. Some examples are air fresheners, wall clocks, alarm clocks, motion detectors, desk lamps and many many more. Some have built in DVR's. Almost all are actual working products to carry out the deception.

Folks are starting to understand the many uses for them as well and see how valuable they are. In both home and business security as well as nanny cams or any situation where you just need to see what is going on at your home office or business when you can't be there, a hidden spy camera is the answer.

So where do you go to buy a spy camera? These are very specialized products and you don't find them on every street corner. As a matter of fact you can hardly find them on any street corner.

The best place to find them is online under 'spy cameras' or 'hidden spy cameras'. Then decide which distributor is going to be able to answer your questions and give you good customer service.

There are differences so be careful. Just last week I got a call from someone who bought a camera from an online auction site-you know the one! He got a great price but as he discovered the product was very inferior to most. "Choose wisely grasshopper"

Outdoor Security Camera - What is It? How Do I Choose One?

Outdoor Security Camera - What is It? How Do I Choose One?

An outdoor security camera is very different from indoor security camera. The major challenge that the prior has to face, is withstanding the extreme conditions of the weather. These cameras have to be able to bear up hot and humid conditions. It should also be waterproof to protect its components from getting damaged by rain.

Outdoor security cameras come in many varieties and out of them, the major line of classification is whether the camera is wired or wireless. You have to decide to choose the type of camera that you want for your security. There are both merits and demerits of both these types of cameras.

A wireless outdoor security camera comes with the intrinsic advantage of being installed easily without much effort. There is no need of wiring, so the time and complication involved in the installation of these cameras is very little. On the other hand, wired security cameras bears lots of snag in installing it. The wired connection should be set up before installing a new camera.

The major disadvantage of using a wireless camera is its dependency on internal batteries, which get discharged easily and should be charged at particular intervals to ensure that it works properly. The wired cameras are free from this inconvenience. Moreover, the cost involved in buying a wireless outdoor security camera is very high compared to the wired cameras.

The video quality and resolution are also a huge factor in distinguishing cameras. The quality of the camera mainly depends on the FPS or Frames per Second Value. More FPS simply means higher quality. A high resolution outdoor security camera helps security officials to easily discriminate the burglars from the crowd.

These cameras should also have night vision capabilities to track down thieves in the night or with low lighting. These cameras are available in either color or black and white mode. A color outdoor security camera obviously distinguishes intruders with more clarity compared to a black and white camera.

One more important thing prior to buying any outdoor security camera is to look for the backup facilities in case of damage. The recording system of the camera should be strong and durable to record each and every action that is taking place in front of its lens. Cameras can either record directly to your computer system or to DVDs or VHS tapes to record all the events chronologically.

Choosing the best outdoor security camera for your home and business can be a tricky task. I have written another article on outdoor security cameras to help you make that process a little easier. I hope that you visit my blog and that you will find what you read there useful!
