Home Security Hidden Surveillance Cameras-three Top Uses

If you take a common household object that you're used to seeing everyday and put a board camera inside of it you have a hidden camera or spy camera. They are used to catch people doing things they shouldn't be doing. They used to be so expensive that only law enforcement agencies could afford to use them. And on top that you had to have an engineering degree to figure out how to hook them up.

With advances in technology and some good old American price competition they are cheaper than ever before and so simple to use even I can do it. And I'm technologically challenged.

Hidden surveillance cameras usually come with a few options. The first is whether it should record in color or black-and-white images. Should it be wired or wireless? Hidden cameras just send images to a monitor or TV screen for viewing. They don't record anything. To record you need a DVR or VCR.

But now there's a. line of all-inclusive cameras that have a DVR included- DVR hidden security cameras. Some of the newer models even have mini microphones to record audio.

Here are the top three uses of hidden surveillance cameras.

1. For home security-put one at your front door when you're gone. The motion activated recording will only record when there's activity. So if somebody breaks into your home you got them.

2. As a nanny camera-to keep an eye on your babysitter or nanny when they are watching your kids. Or to keep a watch over your kids if they are a little bit older. The newer use of the nanny camera system called a granny camera. This can be used to keep an eye on your aging parents and their caregivers when you can't be there.

3. For business security-not that any of your employees or customers would ever steal from you if you're a small business owner. But just in case. Place a hidden surveillance camera near your cashier in your store. Just to keep an eye on your employees and either catch them in the act or confirm that they are after all honest.

These are the top uses of hidden security cameras. There are more of course.

When are you getting one?

The uses for a hidden security camera are endless. There are home, office and business applications. Undercover law enforcers and government agencies have been using them for years but now they are priced so low that anyone can get one. And easy to use? You bet.
