Keeping your home safe has never been easier to do on your own than with wireless hidden spy cameras. Capture footage in your home and be two places at once. Wireless hidden cameras are the future of home security.

What to Look for in Hidden Cameras

Choosing a hidden spy camera that fits your needs starts first with the form. Consider first what will draw the least attention where you plan to install the camera, so it does not look out of place. Some hidden cameras will have little to no installation but may require charging, so it is important to factor in the battery backup time.

Depending on how clear you want the footage to be, look for cameras that record in 1080p HD and come with night vision for recording in the dark. Many of these devices are motion-sensitive and only record when movement is detected. Another important decision for playback is if you want to be able to stream the footage or playback recordings. Some cameras can be used with apps on your smartphone to watch live.
