Features to Consider in a Home Security Camera
There are various types of cameras to meet the unique needs of each home; select one that suits your requirements:
Mini Cameras
A mini spy camera is discreet enough to capture activities unseen. Discover popular options like our smallest security camera and versatile hidden cameras. These are preferred for their versatility, offering countless applications to protect your home and alert you to intrusions. We also provide pen cameras and audio recorders.
Nanny Cameras
If you leave your child with a caretaker, a nanny camera provides peace of mind. Ideal for parents wishing to monitor their children's wellbeing when under someone else's care.
These devices are unobtrusive, ensuring caregivers do not alter their behaviour. Everyday items like clocks, books, or charging docks can hide cameras and stream real-time footage to your mobile.
Wearable Cameras
Wearable cameras allow you to record activities while on the move. These devices come in everyday wearable forms with long-lasting batteries to monitor your home security continuously.
The Spy Store UK offers a variety of security cameras to meet homeowners' diverse needs. While numerous choices can be overwhelming, consider these key aspects during selection:
Video Quality
Choose a camera that captures footage in high definition for clarity. Modern home security cameras should at least match mobile phone image quality. Consider wide-angle lenses to cover more area, reducing the need for multiple cameras.
Audio Recording
For two-way audio, ensure your device supports it. Alternatively, select a voice recorder without a camera.
Night Vision
Burglaries rarely happen in daylight, so opt for spy cameras that capture clear video in low light. Our catalogue includes mini security cameras using infrared or heat-vision technology for excellent night recordings.
Best Placement for Outdoor Cameras
CCTV cameras are crucial near back doors, side entrances, and rear windows, which are hidden from street view, lowering the likelihood of detection by passersby. These spots are common entry points for burglars, making perimeter cameras essential.
Install at second-floor level or use mesh wire to deter tampering. Incorporate cameras in basements or garages for additional safety.
Preventing Camera Hacking
Wireless technology can introduce the risk of hacking. Hackers might access your data via cameras connected to your network. However, you can mitigate this risk.
Isolate cameras on a network separate from your data. This setup also optimises network speed as surveillance systems can consume significant bandwidth.
Consider using a virtual private network or cloud access for a secure connection.
