More and more people are using video surveillance to monitor their home. And with remote access, you can keep an eye on your home no matter where you are. It is a great way to have peace of mind both at home and away.
When you have cameras installed in your home, it is a good idea to put them in places that are not easily detectable. In retails stores and businesses, cameras that are visible can be a deterrent to crime: if a criminal knows he is being watched, he is less likely to act. However, in a home, if a criminal sees a video surveillance camera, he may choose to simply destroy or disable the camera. That is why it is best to place the camera where they are out of sight.
If you have a bookcase with books and nick-knacks, this can be an ideal place to hide a camera. The camera will blend in with the other objects and will probably not be noticed. Placing the camera on a high shelf is best as it will provide a good view of the entire room.
Another good place to hide your indoor security camera is among plants. The foliage will do a great job of camouflaging the camera. We do recommend using fake plants for this, as the soil and water around real plants may damage a delicate camera.
A coat rack is another option. The coats, jackets and hats hanging on the hooks provide an ideal place to install a camera. Just use some older coats that will not be moved or displaced; these coats will be for camera-hiding only!
Finally, if the indoor security cameras you are using do not have high enough resolution to take good pictures, the cameras may not be useful even if they do capture footage of a break in. Be sure to purchase quality cameras that can take pictures that are clear and useful in identifying the criminals.
