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.

These need a power source and is usually connected to it by wire. But a popular alternative to this is by using hidden wireless security cameras which can be placed almost anywhere because it is powered by battery. But you need to charge it regularly to keep it running whenever you have to so it will be able to continue monitor your area.

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.

Source of light is one of the important factors to consider. Look around on where the natural light comes through if you are planning to monitor an area in the morning. Face the cameras away from it to make sure you will be able to capture a clear image and not just shadows.

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.

Carefully consider your camera placement. Face it somewhere that most of the actions might take place like towards the door or a safe. Get to know the field of view of the camera and take advantage of it by placing it where it can make full use of it.

Take note of its memory capacity as well. Wireless cameras usually store their videos in SD cards and make certain it has enough space available to store them. If you want to store as much video as possible, then put your camera to the lowest resolution available and use an SD card with a large capacity.

To help reduce memory usage more, you can use a camera with motion activation. This will only record whenever someone is in the room and because of this, the battery life can be prolonged as well. Just do a regular review of recorded videos and erased those that are not needed anymore and regularly charge your device too.

Set your camera up according to the image quality you need. Used a higher resolution whenever you want to identify criminals or problematic customers. Low quality is enough if you just want to check on how your domestic helper or nanny is performing.
