A snake camera allows you to see around corners, under doors and in tight spaces; it bends to fit around almost any obstacle. A snake camera is also so small that it's virtually undetectable, yet it still gives you top-quality images.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Determine how you're going to use your snake camera. If you're purchasing it to add to your current collection of surveillance equipment, you may not have as many specifications as you will if you have a specific use in mind.
Step2
List the qualities you need in a snake camera. All snake cameras are flexible so you can bend them into the shape you want. However, some can go into narrower spaces, some are longer and not all are waterproof.
Step3
Browse online at stores selling surveillance equipment, such as Brickhouse Security, Advance Security Products and 4 Hidden Spy Cameras. Compare the features to see which camera model best suits your needs.
Step4
Make sure that the snake camera you choose can attach to the television, portable video recorder or laptop that you're going to use to view the images.
Step5
Find a local surveillance store to purchase your desired snake camera from. You can often find surveillance or "spy" shops in larger cities. Though you can buy online if there are no local shops, examining the snake camera and discussing your choice with a knowledgeable salesperson helps you find the right camera for your needs. Spy Shop is a respected retailer.
Step6
Consider renting a snake camera if you need it just for a particular job or event. DPL Surveillance Equipment in Los Angeles rents snake cameras by the week. Local surveillance stores may also have lease options.
