How to Hide a Camera
Cameras used to capture images while you are not present are meant to be concealed. Hiding a camera will depend on the size of camera being used. One type of camera conducive to being hidden in several areas is a pinhole camera. This type of camera is wireless, which means no wires are needed to transmit images or video to the receiver.
