For a wider angle, consider using a mini security camera or bullet camera that is barely visible at a distance and mounted on a curtain rod. Some mini security cameras have what is called a pinhole lens that requires only about 1/16" hole to see through.

This is often because it is the most trafficked area of the house, and it is a likely place for a babysitter to reside while taking care of children. Hidden cameras for both security and monitoring are used in businesses and homes alike, and they have become increasingly popular due to their affordability. Most people spend very little time inspecting curtain rods. Finding the right places in a home can be difficult, so here are some helpful ideas for making your hidden camera invisible.

The living area is the first place most people want to install a hidden camera.

Since there are already a number of electronic devices, most people will right off a camera as another device. Entertainment centers are usually a safe bet for starters. Most living rooms provide an endless number of perfect hiding places.

However, a "hidden camera" is somewhat ineffective if it is easily spotted, which is why effective placement is one of the most important parts of installation.
