Make sure it's as close as possible to where you think the speaker will be. The camera should not be near anything noisy, such as a television or radio, which may drown out the speaker's voice or make it difficult to understand. For example, if you're installing a camera in a room with a television, place it on the opposite side of the room.
Place a camera near a couch or chair your target is likely to sit in. When installing your camera in a car, place it away from the car's speakers. Put the camera near its external power supply if necessary. While many modern hidden cameras are battery operated, some rely on an external power source and may need to be plugged into an available wall socket.
If your camera draws power in this way, put it in a place close to an electric socket. The plug and wires will need to be either hidden or disguised as some mundane household appliance. Connect your camera to a network if applicable. Some hidden cameras have internal storage, while others broadcast video through some type of network connection, and still others feature both as options.
If your camera connects to a network through an Ethernet or USB cable , it must be well-disguised and in an inconspicuous place. Keep such a camera close to the computer or router it connects to. Most common commercial nanny cam models connect wirelessly.
If you purchase this type of camera, make sure it's within range of a secure wireless network. Check to see if the eye is naturally drawn to the spot. Certain layouts will attract attention more than others. Avoid any spots where your target is likely to look directly at often. Keep your camera either significantly above or below average eye level.
Ask someone to look for a camera you've installed in a particular room. If he or she is unable to find it with the knowledge that it's there, an unsuspecting individual is even less likely to spot it.
If he or she quickly finds the camera, choose a different spot and try again. Some examples of good hiding spots people would not normally think to look include inside an air vent, within a fake smoke alarm, or under furniture. Some examples of potentially bad hiding spots where the eye is often drawn are any spots near paintings, light switches, and television sets. Shield your camera from the elements.
Make sure any outdoor security cameras are both weather resistant and placed in a way that makes such damage unlikely to occur in the first place. Ideally, you should buy a camera specifically designed for outdoor use.
If you don't, keep the camera sheltered within a sunroom or screened patio. Part 2. Check the lighting. Many hidden cameras require bright light to work their best.
At the same time, they are unable to clearly record images when such light is shone directly into their lenses. Position your camera facing away from major light sources. Make sure that whatever you're trying to film is well-lit at the specific time of day it's most likely to be seen. Make sure your camera is camouflaged. A hidden camera does you no good if your target knows it's there. There are two major strategies for making sure hidden cameras stay hidden: Make the camera itself small and difficult to see.
In other words, a camera with a tiny visible lens that is put in a discreet location. This is what comes to mind when most people think of hidden cameras.
The truth is this type of disguise is much easier to spot since an effective hidden camera must have an unobstructed view of whomever it's watching. If the lens can see a person, the person can see it. Disguise the camera as an everyday object. Tissue boxes, coffee makers, alarm clocks, digital picture frames, wall hooks, and even plug-in air fresheners are all examples of commercial nanny cams that blend seamlessly into the home environment.
A person is much less likely to see a lens that was designed to look like a button compared to a separate camera that has simply been hidden. Follow any applicable installation instructions for commercial cameras.
There are hundreds of different commercially available hidden cameras and each comes with its own particular set of installation instructions. If you've purchased your camera secondhand, try looking up its model number online. The user manuals for many electronic devices are freely available for download. Don't forget to install any necessary software. Most hidden cameras rely on external software to function. This can be a program that was bundled with your camera or one made by a third party available for download.
