Hidden cameras are not "one size fits all". Before you buy one you should know what your needs are for it. Does it have to be able to record in very low lighting conditions? Do you need to have it in color or is black & white ok? How about the video quality, do you need very high resolution? Thinking about your needs before buying one will help to make sure you get the right one for you.
Thing about where you will be placing it. Will it blend in? Obviously if you bought one that was black in color and placed it in an all white environment it wouldn't be so "hidden" now, would it. You might as well have a sign pointing to it that says "Hidden camera here"! They come in many different shapes, many different styles and many different colors. Make your choice based on how well it will fit in and not be noticed.
When it comes to deciding on picture quality always go for the best. A very low resolution video will be extremely hard to use to prove that a certain person did something. Their face will be all blurry and if you need to use it in a courtroom it will not be much help. Always spring for the highest quality resolution that you can afford. Don't scrimp on this decision. The quality of the video should be one of your main decision points. Most newer hidden cameras have very good resolution so unless you are trying to go with the least expensive model available you should be OK.
Hidden cameras also need to have a good light sensitivity or LUX. LUX is the measurement of low light sensitivity. If you have a surveillance camera you want it to work very well in the dark also, not only during the daytime or in fluorescent lighting. Most crimes happen in the dark and you want the camera to be able to provide quality video on a low light day. The lower the LUX is the better the camera will be able to see in conditions that are low in light.
Remember that wireless cameras need a receiver in order to operate. They send the video signal out through the air and if you did not get a receiver you will have no way of capturing that signal. Better models of hidden cameras come with a receiver included. Ask before you buy though.
An easy way to get going is to consider buying an "All-In-One" hidden camera. This type of unit has a camera and a digital video recorder secreted inside an everyday object. This type of unit is truly "Plug & Play". No muss, no fuss.
When you use hidden cameras in your store, home, or workplace there are many factors that you should look into before you choose a camera. These things include the color of the camera and blending, the quality and resolution of the images, LUX, and if the camera includes the receiver. Choosing the right camera for your surveillance needs will ensure you come out with a picture quality that works right for you. You will be able to recognize the person on the video and there won't be any questions asked or way to deny the actions.
