Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Determine where you will need your hidden camera.
Step2
Create a pin hole in a wall, hide the camera in a stuffed animal, or put a small hole in a picture and mount the camera behind the picture, if you will be using the hidden camera in a child's bedroom.
Step3
Put the camera in a small hole made in a mural, a toy that is on a high shelf and never used, or under a table a child uses for a tea party, if you are going to put the hidden camera in a play room.
Step4
Hide the camera in a plant, in a small hole in the wall, or a small hole in trim along the ceiling, if you are going to put the hidden camera in the kitchen.
Step5
Hide the camera alongside the television, in a plant, or in a couch cushion or pillow if you are going to put the hidden camera in the living room.
Step6
Put the hidden camera alongside an item on a high shelf such as a tool box if you are going to put the camera in the garage. You can also hide a camera in the ceiling since the ceilings of most garages are fairly tall.

on 6/8/2008 I found it useful to take a more clinical approach to security cameras.
I've installed a few sites including my own property and use an analytical method to determine where to place cameras.
1. Assess the threat. - You must have some idea of why you want to install video security. Maybe someone once entered through a window or stole from a garage. List all opportunities and rank them in order of impact then likelihood of happening.
2. 2 is 1. - For high risk zones a single camera may be taken out by a potential intruder. Overlapping zones of surveillance with cameras that have a view of other cameras provides a record of attempted tampering.
3. Whites of their eyes. - Avoid positioning cameras so high to prevent tampering that you cannot identify the face of an intruder. Its useless to record the top of someone's head or his/her cap. Positioning so that camera is at a 45
