Hidden Security Cameras-how The Three Types Work

There is a lot of mystique and mystery surrounding hidden security cameras. They used to be used only by private investigators, government and law enforcement agencies mostly because they were so expensive and so hard to install and use. But not anymore. Now you can get several different kinds for under $100.00.

There are basically three kinds of hidden security cameras or hidden spy cameras. Here's how they work.

1. The first is a regular spy camera. It is a board camera placed inside a common object you see everywhere. The more common it is the better. The camera when activated, sends images to a monitor like a TV or computer monitor. You cannot record images on a regular spy camera. To do that you need a VCR or DVR. These can be wired or wireless color or black-and-white. Some have a high power option which allows you to view a wireless image from 2500 feet away-nearly half-mile.

2. The next variety of spy camera is the all-inclusive camera. It is the same as a regular spy camera but it includes a DVR that records images to an 8 GB SD card for easy playback on a computer. Up to 144 hours can record be recorded in single the SD card. Some features include motion activation area masking and date time stamping. These are more expensive but are worth it. They are very easy to use.

3. The third kind is the so-called 'body worn' camera. It is the only kind of camera that can legally record audio. These wireless cameras are much smaller and don't have the capability of their big brothers with usually less recording time. Their battery needs to be charge more often too. But they include a camera, DVR and a small microphone making them the ultimate spy gadget.
