How to choose your hidden camera

What is the main goal of your spy camera?

Here are a few typical objectives:

* Catch a vandal in an office or business
* Guard your family with spy cameras for home use
* Insure the children are not abused by the Nanny with a secret nanny camera
* Uncover if a spouse is commiting adultery with security cameras for your home
* Put in hidden cctv camera systems for the office

Where will the covert cameras be situated?

* Will you be able to install a video wire leading from the covert house cameras to a DVR?
* Can you get power to the camera? They all need power to run.
* What kind of object might blend in to the room and not create suspicion?
* Which ones are the best nanny cameras for home use?
* What places can anyone put a covert nanny cam without violating the law?
* Are the security cameras for your home or outdoor use?
* What about the lighting circumstances? Black & white cameras work better for dim areas, low illumination.
* Would you be putting in a single covert camera or multiple hidden surveillance camera systems?

Do you need to record events to view at a later time?

* What duration do you need to record?
* How much action is there in the area? Hidden cameras for family use store less action than a business modelcamera.
* Will you want motion activated spy cameras or regular continuously recording cameras?
* Will you want hidden camera motion detection recording or scheduled? or both?

Will you want a wireless camera?

* Find out if you possess a cord free phone or wireless internet that could interfere with your a wireless connection?
* Do you need to view the camera feed live from far away?
* Are you certain you can not run a wire to monitor or alternately use a built in DVR to avoid troubles with wireless transmission.

What are my options?

1. Wired - a unit connected using a video wire to a recording machine - ideal with spy cameras for home or businesses purposes
2. Wireless- a unit with a dedicated transmitter that will send the video over your network to a near by (hidden) receiver connected using a short wire to a DVR or TV for live watching
3. Spy Cam - A unit with a built in DVR which records footage directly to a Secure Digital Memory card.

A final note typically buyers want to know… Why can't I record hidden audio? The simple answer is because it is against federal law and you may go to jail if you covertly record audio.
