But before you install any type of security system into your home or business especially the small
, "hidden" type, you should note the legal restrictions on video surveillance. In most states, anyone recording either audio or video in a specified area needs to alert anyone in range of the surveillance device that he or she is being recorded. If anyone found the camera and wasn't previously aware of its existence, you could potentially face charges.

Keep in mind however a low cost camera is better than no camera. Now, the class is over and all the questions are answered.
