Guide on Hiding a Video Camera like a Pro!

C.B.
Wanna spy on your S.O. to see if they've been cheating, or fear that someone's been trying to break in your home? Own a store, and wanna catch those shoplifters? Whatever reason(s) you have, hiding a video camera should do the trick in helping you get some evidence in helping you fix your problem! Here's a guide and many useful tips on how to:

Figure out what device you will be using as your video camera:
Access to hidden surveillance equipment is as available as a cellphone is today. You do not need any special license/permission to buy or own it (Using in some cases may be considered illegal). Best of all, you can purchase some that's affordable.

*You could use: cellphones, a pinhole camera, web-cam, video camera, or surveillance system. (Anything with a camera on it!)
*Check the maximum recording time on the device, and make sure it's around the time you're looking for.
*Depending on how big it is, it may be harder to hide.

•Find where you're gonna be hiding it:
It would be best to hide it in a not-so-obvious place where no one's likely to look. For example: Not very many normal people go looking in a plant/flower pot for a video camera all the time. Get creative with this! The hiding places are endless. Other common hiding places for spy cameras include: paintings, smoke detectors, clocks, lamps, dressers, shelves, ceilings, etc.

Discover your own secret hiding spot(s), and nobody has to know the camera is there but you!

*Look around the area in which you are trying to hide the camera, get a few ideas of where to hide it. And choose which one is best, and go from there.

•Make sure it's well hidden:
To successfully get away with hiding your device, make SURE there's little or no chance in anyone finding it.

*Some devices may make noise (beeping sounds), so for successfully getting away with this, turn the sound off on the device.
*Make sure you're getting the view you want, etc. if you forget to follow this step, it will defeat the whole purpose of using it.
*Turn on your camera and put in record mode BEFORE you leave it there. If your camera requires you to hold down a button to record, then use a piece of tape to hold down the button.

If the "Hidden" camera doesn't stay hidden:
Some hidden camera owners lack common sense; which results in their plans failing to work. Hidden cameras can be found anywhere, even in private areas such as changing rooms, toilets, showers, hotel rooms, and many other places you would never expect someone to be watching you in. So be careful where you're gonna put it, and make sure it's not going to result in a "security breach" and end up getting you into quite some trouble. If it does, be ready to face the consequences.
