What Home Spy Camera Do You Want?
By Dan Crane
Many regular homeowners want a spy camera to protect themselves from thieves and burglars. Another reason is that they may want to spy on some of their family members. Such homeowners usually do not know exactly what they want and need.
There are so many (maybe even too many…) options on the internet so a newbie could easily get lost in the online spy world. In this article, we’ll try to find out what are the options on the internet and what spy cameras should you choose.
Outdoor Spy Cameras
If you want to protect your house from the outside, then outdoor spy cams would be your best shot. Of course, they’ll be quite obvious and people will see that your house is secured. That’s actually one of the reasons to put a spy camera outside. It will let burglars know that your house is protected and they’ll less likely want to intrude.
If you’re thinking about an outdoor camera for your house, then you’ll want to consider a few options. Is it weatherproof or waterproof? If you’ll use it outside, then make sure that bad weather won’t break it. Also, you should think about night surveillance. Your outdoor cameras should be infrared so it could capture view in the night.
Wired spy camera will be harder to install, because of the wires. You might need to call a professional to drill the holes in your walls and place the wires conveniently in case you don’t know how to do that. Wireless cameras are much easier to install outside. They don’t require any cables, but you’ll still need to mount them on walls or under the roof somehow. Wireless CCTV camera transmitters and receiver will do the rest.
That’s very basic information about using spy cameras outdoors. Now, let’s see if you’d prefer using such cameras indoors.
Indoors Hidden Cameras

Spy cameras inside the house are also used for security purposes. In case burglars sneak in the house, your spy cams will detect the burglars and record their moves. There are even security systems that have alarm functions built-in.
These security systems (with or without spy cameras) have motion detection devices. These devices guard and when they detect something or someone moving, they’ll turn on the alarm. It might be a sound signal, flashing lights near the house, both combinations; it might be an automatic phone call to you or your neighbors in case you’re away, it might be an email to your PC or laptop. Such systems will warn you or your neighbors in case of burglary.
If you don’t want to buy the whole system, you may manage with webcam and a PC. Webcams are pretty cheap. Software used to control cameras, which also have motion detection built-in are also inexpensive. Connect a camera to your PC, leave it online so you could connect to it and watch what’s going on any time when you’re away, and you have pretty powerful, yet cheap solution for basic protection.
You may also buy a few wireless spy cameras, which are connected to a VCR or DVR or PC. Multiple cameras are great if you want to secure every inch of your house. You couldn’t do that with only one camera.
Hidden Spy Cameras
Lastly, you may want a spy cam that isn’t for security, but for spy and surveillance purposes. People use spy cameras in their houses to spy on their nannies, spouses to see if they aren’t cheating, kids or guests.
In that case, you don’t want you cameras to be seen. So there are mini spy cameras used for this purpose. Such small cameras can be hidden anywhere, a baby toy, in a teddy bear, behind the book shelf, near the computer, etc… They can also be wired or wireless.
Or you may want to choose already made hidden cameras, meaning that they’re already stuffed into some regular everyday objects. Such spy cams may look like lamps, flowers, books, speakers, clocks, mirrors and so on. You don’t need to worry and think where to hide your cam in this case.
Well, there you go. Here are some options for owners looking for spy cameras. If you’ve familiarized yourself with basic spy camera information, you may want to go out and learn some more details about these surveillance gadgets online.
