Where Can Spy Cameras be Hidden?
- Spy cameras can be hidden using camouflage covers (sometimes included in outdoor camera kits).
- They can also be strategically placed in hidden corners of the house or any other room.
How Hidden Cameras Work
- Micro cameras function similarly to regular cameras:
- A photosensitive CCD or CMOS sensor captures images and light, converting them into electrical signals.
- If a microphone is used, both video and audio are recorded.
- How to disable a camera:
- Using an LED light is one method to disable a security camera. The light obscures the camera’s lens without damaging it.
- Another option is to access the system through the network.
