Hidden cameras and spy cameras have been used by the FBI and CIA for decades to catch spies, for undercover sting operations, to catch drug users and money launderers. Lately, they have been used successfully in undercover sting operations to catch sex trafficking which is rapidly becoming the number one black-market crime in the country.
Hidden spy cameras and hidden security cameras are nothing new. What is new is that they are cheaper than ever before and easier to use than ever. This of course makes them within reach of every day consumers. Maybe this explains why the sales of hidden spy cameras and hidden security cameras have absolutely skyrocketed.
These security cameras have a variety of uses but one of the most popular is for home security. Other popular uses include: keeping an eye on your nanny or baby sitter making sure they are doing what they are paid for; keeping an eye on employees at your business making sure they are not stealing from you; keeping an eye on a spouse suspected of cheating on you and the latest use keeping an eye on a home health care giver who is monitoring your elderly house-bound parents.
What ever the use a hidden security camera will allow you to watch things at your home office or business when you can't be there.
They use common everyday objects that people are used to seeing around the house every day. These products are usually working products to keep the deception level high. A board camera is placed in them. The camera transmits images to a monitor either without wires or the camera can be wired.
Most hidden security cameras cannot record unless you have a DVR or a DVR.
Here are three of the cheapest hidden security cameras.
The most popular is the alarm clock hidden camera.
The next most popular is the radio hidden camera also called the boom box hidden camera.
The wall clock hidden camera.
All three of these are available for less than $150.00 each. You can get options like a choice of color or black-and-white images and another choice of sending the images with or without wires.
The option that I like the best is the one to include a DVR in the product which of course increases price. But to record you need a DVR anyhow.
