Home security systems can be used by homeowners as monitoring systems, security surveillance cameras, smart video doorbells and more. They help to protect the home from potential threats such as burglary, fire and more. When your home is broken into, the video the cameras will record and store footage of the event immediately. This can help to identify and arrest the thieves.
Apart from personal security, the cameras can be used for surveillance of potential intrusion and break-ins and also act as nanny cams for keeping an eye on the kids, babysitters, house contractors or house cleaners.
If you want to use your security cameras to catch uncalled for behaviors or criminal activity in your home, you can conceal your cameras as disguises in the following ways:
Mount the Camera within a Plant Foliage
No one will even think of rummaging through a potted plant to find your hidden camera. You can mount it in an octopus tripod and wrap the legs of the tripod around the plant’s stem. Arrange the leaves in such a way that while hidden, the camera can still provide surveillance without being obvious.
A potted plant is ideal if you want to keep an eye on every activity going on at home. This includes monitoring untrustworthy contractors, possible intruders, when your teenage children come in late, and all the other events in the house.
Place Your Camera on Top of the Shelf or Mantle
You can position your camera in a high place which is out of sight. Having it on top of a mantle or bookshelf will allow you to see everything without anyone suspecting. You can disguise the camera further by surrounding it with pieces of similar décor to blend it into the background.
If you have many books and trinkets, it will look like one of the many trinkets on your bookshelf. Your camera will freely cover all areas it was meant to in a simple way. It will be out of sight of everyone, whether standing or sitting, but will capture every event that is going on.
