How And Where To Place Hidden Cameras

In recent years homes and businesses have started to use hidden cameras as a way to further their monitoring efforts

. One of the reasons for this popularity increase is that they are becoming cheaper in price, and more effective in use. Something that you should think about is that if anyone can see your hidden camera, they won't be effective. But finding a space to conceal them can be difficult. There are however some ideas to keep in mind to help them to become near invisible.

The living area is the first place most people want to install a hidden camera. This is often because it is the most trafficked area of the house, and it is a likely place for a babysitter to reside while taking care of children. Most living rooms provide an endless number of perfect hiding places. Entertainment centers are usually a safe bet for starters. Since there are already a number of electronic devices, most people will right off a camera as another device.

If you have a need for a wider angle, your best option could be a mini security camera or a bullet camera as they are sometimes called. These cameras can remain hidden in a distance, and can even be mounted to a variety of items, including a curtain rod. This makes them a prime choice as most people don't tend to look at these rods. Since these mini security cameras have a pinhole lens in them, you will find they can fit through the tiniest section. You can hide them behind a greeting card, or on the top shelf angled downward as hiding their wires is no problem at all.

Bookshelves are also great places for cameras, in fact some hidden cameras even come in the shape of a book to blend in with the rest of your collection. This is obviously a very specialized camera form, but there are a number of such forms to choose from. Cameras might also appear to be objects like mirrors, clocks, cigarette lighters, and more. These everyday objects are very common and thus virtually undetectable.

All these suggestions will work in other areas of your house as well. From flowerpots to the light switch, these cameras can give a wide angle view so you can see more of a room or a hallway. In a child's room you have options as well. Some ideas for this space are a clock shaped like a camera, or a personal computer station that works the same as an entertainment center. If you main concern is your child then you should consider a camera that is inside of a stuff animal, toy car or if you want a larger viewing area, consider above the crib in a mobile.

There are countless types and shapes of hidden and mini security cameras, so it is important to strategize about the most inconspicuous places to hide a camera in your particular environment. This strategizing will help determine what type of camera you should purchase. If you already have a camera, consider some of the hiding spots first suggested, because a poorly placed hidden camera is really not a hidden camera at all.
