Ask your self this, “Do I have a legitimate excuse to use a hidden camera?” If the answer is yes then by all means buy a hidden camera or spy camera. A legitimate reason is that you suspect your child’s babysitter is behaving inappropriately. Have you been coming out in the morning and finding your car all messed up? Is somebody stealing from you at the office. These are all legitimate reasons for using a hidden camera.

How many times have you read about some pervert landlord that wired up his building so he could spy on his female tenants? Or some sicko placing a hidden camera in a ladies dressing room at a department store? This type of thing happens too often and that is the type of use of a hidden camera that is not a legitimate use! Thank goodness the courts usually impose a long jail sentence for these guys.

One way to make sure you are not a victim of a hidden camera or microphone is to purchase and use a signal detector. They are more commonly known as “Bug Detectors”. We have all seen these being used on TV and in the movies. You simply turn the hand held unit on and walk through the room or “sweep” the room. The signal detector picks up the signal transmitted by the hidden camera or microphone and helps you locate its exact position.

“Boy, that was so nice of the landlord to leave that nice wall clock in my bedroom. He is such a nice guy.” Well, think again. When you do a sweep of your apartment don’t be surprised if your bug detector activates when you get close to that wall clock! These days anything you see could be housing a hidden camera. Make sure you do a complete sweep of your apartment. Remember, if you find something, try not to react. Simply leave your apartment and call the police from outside. You don’t want your landlord to know that you have just called the cops.

So, you DO have a good solid excuse to use a hidden camera. Your choices will seem endless. A table lamp, a pair of speakers, even a DVD Player could contain a tiny hidden camera. You will be amazed at the options you will have when it comes to buying a hidden camera.

Don’t be surprised if somebody notices and comments on that cute little teddy bear sitting on your shelf if you are a single guy living alone. The point is, when you decide that you are going to get a hidden camera make sure it looks like something you would have in your place anyway.

In addition to taking the decor into consideration you have to decide what type of hidden camera you want. There are basically 3 types:1/ Wireless, 2/ Wired, and 3/ Self contained.

The wireless hidden camera is installed in an item along with a small transmitter. When a picture or video is being shot the transmitter sends the signal to a receiver. That receiver is then hooked up to a recording unit, a monitor or your TV.

Choosing a wired hidden camera is probably the most economical but you have to contend with exposed cords. There will be A/V cords coming out of the device and then they are connected to either your TV or monitor to view the picture or a recorder to record the action.

You want an “All-In-One unit? They are readily available. These little guys consist of a small camera AND a recording unit. They record right onto an SD card! It does not get any easier than this. You take the SD card from the unit, plop it into your computer and you can instantly see what the camera has recorded.

Make sure you buy a hidden camera that matches your needs. Do you need to record at night time when very little light is available? You better get a low LUX camera. Do you need it to be motion activated? How about a time and date stamp? These are all available and you can find one that fits what you want it to do.

The bottom line is that no matter what style or type of hidden camera you purchase, make sure you are purchasing it for a legitimate, ethical reason and use it properly.
