Hidden Cameras: Covert Cameras to Catch the Things You Want to See and Know on Tape

Hidden cameras are a great item for installing a camera in one’s home to catch what you want to see on tape or video when you cannot be there. These cameras come in a variety of common household items such as air fresheners, smoke alarms, alarm clocks, and even as small as a small screw. They can be found in black and white or in color depending on the price range and situation you are using the camera for. They also come wired or wireless and the newest hidden cameras come with built-in DVR.

It is relatively easy to set up a hidden camera or spy camera, covert camera, or nanny cam depending on what name you choose to call them. They originally became known as nanny cams when people started purchasing these cameras and setting them up in their homes to view how the nanny was treating their child or children when they weren’t home. Others began to use them for watching the caregivers of the elderly to ensure there was no elder abuse occurring. Whatever the reason, they were easy to set up and disguised as common household items made them easy to fit into the home décor unnoticed. If wired, they require a wired plug-in as well as a wire to a television, DVR, or monitor. The wireless hidden cameras and hidden cameras with built-in DVR require only a plug-in cord.

There are other uses that these cameras can assist with. One important one is to view what goes on in the workplace. In this day and age there is no time for wasted time and what better way to view worker productivity and actions than with a camera monitoring what is going on at any given moment or time. Another great use for these cameras is to monitor what is happening at home especially if one has teenagers in the home. Many times a parent wants to know who is visiting the home and what activities are going on when they aren’t able to be there. These cameras provide a new set of “eyes” for parents to be able to see exactly what is taking place in the home when they cannot be  there. And of course, there is also the cheating spouse or  partner which the camera owner sets up tin order to see if any cheating is going on. This is an excellent way to catch the person in the act with no questions asked, if caught on tape.

But I also like to find some unique uses for the hidden camera. In these times of dual parent workers, a lot of precious moments can be missed especially when raising a family. These days babysitters are with the young ones as soon as mom is able to return to the job. In these cases, many precious moments can be missed. But with a hidden camera, the parent may just be able to “catch” on video that first step or the first time baby rolls over in the crib. I can think of a multitude of firsts that could be missed if not for the camera and I’ll bet you can too. What a great gift if these moments could be caught on video and given back to the parent. These are priceless videos that can never be replaced.

I hope this has given you some ideas for the uses and types of cameras available. There are the standard uses as described above and then there are the imaginative uses and I’m sure you can come up with many more reasons why you need to have a hidden camera in your  home.
