Home > Motion detector cameras provide a creative new way to conceal a hidden camera
January 18, 2007

Many homes today have alarm-based security systems
installed. While these systems do provide some measure of
protection against intruders, they can sometimes fall short.
A good way to round out the security plan for your home is
to implement some form of video surveillance. Video
surveillance can help provide the evidence you need to prove
a crime has been committed.
Companies that provide video
surveillance equipment are responding to the ever-increasing
demand for video surveillance products by creating new and
innovative products. One example of this trend is the
introduction of motion detector cameras to the marketplace.
Video cameras that have motion-sensing capabilities have
been around for a while. A motion sensor camera is different
though. These devices are actually small pinhole cameras
built right into a traditional PIR motion detector shell.
Each of these hidden cameras is made to look exactly like a
typical motion sensor that comes with any standard
alarm-based security systems. The only difference is a fully
functional pinhole camera is concealed inside.
Several companies are offering these types of cameras.
Most are made to incorporate directly into any standard
alarm-based security system, which allows for easy setup and
integration. We will look at two popular choices so you can
learn more about how these devices can be used to increase
the effectiveness of your home security system.
-
Deluxe PIR Motion Detector Camera from Smarthome
-- This camera is made to look exactly like a traditional
PIR motion detector and incorporates easily into most
standard alarm-based systems. The color camera provides
325 lines of resolution. The camera can also be set up to
trigger VCR recording when motion is sensed. The pinhole
camera is perfectly concealed within a standard motion
sensor frame so no one will ever know a hidden camera is
present. You can purchase this unique
motion detector camera
for $299.99 from Smarthome.
-
SSC-103WCFF Color Motion Detector Camera from Advanced
Security Products -- This camera comes concealed
inside a fully functioning motion detector. The camera
itself features a wide-angle lens that provides full
coverage of most rooms. This camera is designed to take
the place of your existing standard motion detectors you
may already have installed. The motion detector can be
configured to trigger event recording, an alarm, or
activating lighting. You can purchase this device from
Advanced Security Products for $259.50.
What is so great about these style cameras is they are
designed to take the place of standard motion sensors you
already have in place. No one will ever suspect a camera is
concealed behind this common device.
