Mini Wireless Spy Cameras
I'm sure you've seen the popup banners and many
annoying adds over the years for mini wireless spy
cameras, although the marketing tactics turned a lot
of people off - including myself, these cameras are
very useful and fun. The trick is to purchase
the right camera for you. Some of these older
cameras operate at lower frequencies, these are not
effective for any range and can interfere with
household devices. Be sure to purchase a
camera that operates in the 2.4 GHz range or higher.
Current technology can put a mini wireless spy
camera in anything check out this
screw camera - this can easily be placed
anywhere and not noticed at all. You can put
one in a
baseball cap! Pinhole cameras can be self
installed in just about any household object.
Some models come with a DVR in the unit so the
device is completely self contained. You can
just set a clock radio, or similar object and have
it record only when motion is activated. You
them merely connect USB plug to your PC or laptop
and download the video. Still images are also
possible.
Color images are quite common now, although the more
advanced models revert to black and white when low
light conditions are present. You can check
the mini wireless spy camera in question by its LUX
factor. This is just a way of telling how dark
it can be to get a readable image. Low lux
cameras can photograph in almost complete darkness
now, using the light of less than a single candle
power. Note that it is illegal for civilians
to include audio in covert recordings. Only
law enforcement agencies can legally and covertly
record both video and audio.
If you decide on a mini wireless spy camera you must
have the recorder or video monitor within range.
Most ranges are restricted to 100 feet. It is
possible to extend this range with optional high
power transmitters.
