Why Would You Need Miniature Covert Cameras?

By Mike Ward

There are any number of reasons why you would need to use covert cameras in your home or business. Possibly the most important reason is that thieves and other criminals are becoming well-informed about surveillance and security cameras, and have learned ways to work around being identified.

Because it has been shown that visible security monitoring equipment acts as a deterrent to potential thieves, standard security cameras are needed in places where theft is a potential problem. By adding a mini covert camera for surveillance, you have the best security method available. These tiny cameras are also the best option where space is too limited to allow for standard security cameras to be fitted.

Even though some covert cameras are extremely small, you can still expect to get the same quality of video recording that you would get from a full-sized camera. Bear in mind that most of the covert cameras that are available are not weatherproof, and so, if you want to use them outdoors, you will need to fit them into a weatherproof housing.

Covert cameras are generally wired requiring a video cable to be run to a recording device. Wireless models are also available if your transmitting distance is within 100 feet or so. You can adapt any of them to wireless operation with a variety of transmitters and receivers for greater signal distance if needed. Some models also have a microphone so that you can record the audio as well.

These tiny surveillance cameras come in various sizes and designs to suit any situation. You can choose between color and black and white, wide angle, standard and high resolution and more. Some models are extremely small, others are designed for use in low light areas and there is even a pen model to enable you to have an instant portable recording ability that is virtually undetectable.

You might need a covert camera for surveillance at your home or business, to watch your kids without them knowing, or to monitor the quality of the care-giver you are leaving your children with. Being able to observe someone without their knowledge has a variety of security applications.
