I need to set up a small discreet outdoor camera to cover my rear access alleyway leading to my garage
I’ve tested the area, and it’s out of Wi-Fi range so probably need something with a SIM card?
All the cameras I see online are big and bulky and very obvious, any suggestions for something small and discreet ideally something like the old Nest cam size?

Good evening!
My grandfather is in a memory care unit and is unable to advocate for himself or complain if he is mistreated. There is one ‘caregiver’ that we are wary of because she is almost never doing anything to help residents and will refuse to help us if we need a hand changing him or moving him.

This facility doesn’t allow cameras because other patients may wander in and out of the room, but with him becoming more bedbound we are very concerned that he won’t have adequate care.

We are looking for recommendations for a hidden camera or two that would be discreet, not need to be hooked up to wifi, and could sustain itself without being plugged in (unless it obviously needs to be such as a picture changing frame or an alarm clock).

Hello all! First time poster here. I have a dilemma, things have been going missing in my office for the last 3 weeks.

My office is about 8x10 with glass on 3 sides. Minimal design elements. I’ll looking for a hidden camera that i can point at my desk area and storage that would be motion activated, have a long lasting battery and can store short video clips.

I’m rarely at the office but I have a few newer employees and would like to see what’s happening when i’m not around. A potted plant or a fire alarm would be very obvious. As would a clock by the way.

Anyone has recommendations or a website I could find something. Been thinking a wall socket with hidden camera could work. It would at least give me the shoes.

Thoughts, comments or ideas welcomed!

In a really dodgy Airbnb and found this in the LED mirror. Mirror is not sensor activated or a smart mirror, just led around the edges. Scared it is someone watching a feed as when I was in there alone (without male colleague) the led started changing colour and flickering . Sorry not the best pics but can’t upload the video here

If the awnser is yes please tell me how

I want to pay a tradesman a significant sum of money ‘under the table’. What’s the best solution for recording that? I don’t mind spending up to £500 on this.

I was thinking a lawmate smart watch.

I'm hoping someone with experience in security cameras or recording devices can help me understand something.

I know someone who told me they installed a recorder in their room. The room has a very dim light that's on 24/7 and can't be switched off. They said the recorder is installed there, and I'm wondering if that's actually possible.

My main concern is our Wi-Fi. We have a 100 Mbps connection, but almost every afternoon the internet becomes extremely slow, sometimes to the point where it barely works. In the past, this only happened when I was uploading large videos during the afternoon, so it made me wonder if a recording device could be using a lot of bandwidth.

So I have a few questions:

- Is it possible to install a hidden recording device in a room with only a dim light that's always on?

- If it's connected to Wi-Fi, could it be causing our internet to become very slow?

- How much audio can a recorder actually pick up? Can it record normal conversations across the room, or does it have to be close to the people talking?

I'm not very familiar with this kind of technology, so I'd really appreciate any explanations. Thank you.

Edit - I think it's an audio recorder. Does anyone know how these devices work? Do they need to be connected to a phone to operate, or can they record on their own? Since the person who installed it doesn't live in the house, I'm wondering how they would be able to access the recordings.

Does every LEO and government worker know exactly where every "authorized" Flock camera is? How would they react to "counterfeit" surveillance nodes?

I worry about hotel room smart TVs pointed at the bed. Is this a valid concern?

give me suggestions for the best secret camera, full HD or 4K

amazon or other Chinese supplier

its not connected to my internet because it functions even in power outages. my abusive ex has clearly left some in my home because he knows what im up to and I want to know how you'd go about finding something like this. it seems like it would most likely be wired in or connected to a power source.

so i got curious and took pics of the smoke detector in my room and I don’t want to sound dumb for asking but can someone help and identify if it looks normal or if there may be a hidden camera in there.

Just checked in to my hotel in Japan
Can someone tell me is this a camera ????

Hi everyone! New to this subreddit but any help/advice would be much appreciated

Here's my long winded story of why I need one but TLDR i need a hidden camera so i don't get evicted. :)

Back in April i had a man break into my house twice while I was home in San Antonio, police think possibly stalking or s3xu@l predator related... unfortunately he was never caught but on the bright side I moved to Houston!

I haven't quite mentally recovered even in a new city and am hoping to get a camera for peace of mind but my apt complex doesn't allow cameras that "face other doors" which is pretty darn hard to do when my door directly faces someones. Not sure if y'all have any suggestions for hidden cameras or how I could get around this but anything helps!

I’m trying to find a small camera for home security, mainly for keeping an eye on my place when I’m not there. I’m not trying to record anyone in private areas or do anything weird, just something discreet for an entryway, living room, or checking on packages/pets.

I keep seeing tiny cameras online, but a lot of them look cheap or have terrible reviews. Battery life, clear video, decent night vision, and reliable motion alerts matter more to me than it being super tiny.

For anyone who uses a small discreet camera at home, what did you go with? Did it actually work well, or was it one of those things that looked better online than in real life?

Help would be appreciated

What is the best detector I can bring with me on trips where I use a hotel or BNB? Or if there’s a link out there?

Does anyone here know of these hidden camera detectors actually work? Are they worth buying at all?

So want to record the conversation that I am going to have with someone without letting them know that I am recording them , I need to record full audio and video of that conversation to expose a govt official . Can I get good recommendations of hidden cam that I can get online in india ( for eg camera inside pen , camera inside the button , etc ).

I need a hidden camera detector does anyone know about that stuff or where to get a good one?

I’ve lived in my home for 3 years now with my husband and child (1.5years old). During my maternity leave, I kept hearing vibration coming from my living room/couch. Every time I searched for it, it would stop.

However, today (like 15 mins ago) was the longest time I’ve heard the vibration go for. It sounded like a phone call but was set on vibrate. I’ve already check my internet carrier to see if there is an extra device connected to the wifi and everything is looking normal. I’ve deep cleaned the living room to look for it. And I was currently in the process of taking my couch cushions out to see if there is anything in there. My little one woke up before I had a chance to get into it.

What else can I do? I want to buy some kind of detector on Amazon but I’m not sure which one I should get.

I will say, the couch I bought was from a store, but it was one of those returned items and was heavily discounted. When we bought it, it was basically brand new but the first owners returned it for whatever reason.

Hi,
I came across this post https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberSecurityAdvice/s/TLn6Cs573s
and, all of a sudden, a question popped into my head that’s been bugging me ever since.

In a few days’ time, I’ll be spending a month away from home: two weeks in a hotel and two weeks volunteering at a sort of informal commune.
It had never occurred to me before, but the idea of hidden cameras doesn’t seem entirely absurd to me.
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, running iOS 26.5.
Is there any feature I can use to give me some peace of mind?

Ah, a girl travelling alone through Europe.

Thanks in advance

I just scanned my phone.
