Information On Hidden Wireless Security Cameras Set Up

By David Smith


Security cameras are used when you want to know what is happening when you are not around your household or as additional form of security in commercial and industrial areas. These are usually hidden and not visible to the intended subject being filmed compared to the CCTV which is visible and sometimes comes with a warning. These can be built into different common household items such as television sets, clocks and smoke detectors.

AC power source is the most common source of powering up the cameras. Batteries are also another source that can be used by hidden wireless security cameras. This gives you flexibility on where to place it but must be regularly checked if it has run out of power or not.

Setting your device up properly is very important as well. You should consider the various factors when planning on where to place it. Testing the footage after setting it up will help you decide if you have placed it in somewhere you can fully take advantage of it.

Consider the source of light and place your device where it can take advantage of the light available. Face it away from windows and where the sunlight shines through. In this way, you will not be capturing shadows but will be able to have a clear image.

If you will be capturing footage during the night, make sure to face it somewhere that does not make look into the light directly. But sometimes a burglar or a housekeeper who is looking to rob you will not turn on the lights so infrared night vision cameras are a good option. Even though it will be able to record in low light, the images will not be as detailed compared to well lit room.

The placement of the camera is quite important as well and must be considered carefully. It must not face where there will be not much actions expected and must be facing towards the area of most concern. Consider its field of view as well when deciding where to place it so that you will be able to capture a large area.

Be aware of the capacity of its memory as well. SD cards are commonly used to store the videos taken and check it regularly if it has not reached its limit. Putting your camera on the lowest resolution setting and using and large capacity SD card will help you store more videos as possible.

Cameras with motion activation can be used to save on both memory and power usage. This type of cameras will only start recording whenever there is a presence felt on the room or area. Check the power and regularly and charge or erased recordings accordingly when you need to. This will help ensure that the device will be working properly when you really need it to.

Consider the image quality that you would need and set up the camera accordingly. If you are monitoring your nanny or domestic helper, a lower resolution is enough to know if they are doing their job professionally. A higher resolution is needed when you are looking to identify any possible intruders or customers involved in a crime or conflict.
