Installing surveillance cameras outdoors is a smart way to keep an eye on your property in your absence. This camera is better hidden in the risk of being tampered with by others. Fortunately, there are a variety of products and methods that you can use to disguise their presence.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Hiding Camera
Step 1. Put the camera in an aviary or bird feeder
Aim the surveillance camera so that the lens is facing out towards the small opening in the front of the cage or bird feeder.
Point the feeder or aviary in the direction you want to keep an eye on
Step 2. Hide your camera in the bushes or trees
Dense foliage and shrubs can hide the presence of surveillance cameras. Place the camera in a bush or tree and check the camera footage to make sure the lens is not blocked by leaves or shrubs.
Step 3. Disguise the camera in a faux stone or sculpture in the garden
You can buy garden dwarf statues or hollow stones online for this purpose. Use a drill that is the size of a camera lens and punch a hole in the faux rock or garden dwarf figurine. Then, you can place a camera in a rock or statue that has been punched out and point the camera lens outward.
- You can also place the camera in a clay pot.
- Attach the camera inside the object with electrical tape to secure it.
Step 4. Purchase a camera designed similar to a lamp holder or doorbell
Some surveillance cameras are designed to look like other objects such as lights or doorbells. Search the internet for surveillance cameras or security cameras shaped like lights, choose the one that fits your budget and needs.
Step 5. Put the camera in the mailbox
Hide the camera in the mailbox or mailbox post. Make a hole in the mailbox so the camera can record what is happening outside the mailbox.
Step 6. Use a PVC pipe to hide the wires on the wired camera
Leaving visible or exposed wires leading to your camera will make their hiding places easy to find. If you plan to use a surveillance camera with cables, you will need to dig a trench to hide the PVC pipe where your camera will be wired.
You may need to install metal or PVC tubing to hide the cables from the above-mounted camera
Step 7. Install a fake camera to trick it from your real camera
You can buy fake or "hoax" surveillance cameras at hardware stores or online. This fake camera will be a deception and distract people from the real camera. Install this fake camera where people can see it.
The price of fake surveillance cameras usually starts from IDR 35,000, 000-IDR 100,000, 00 per camera
Method 2 of 2: Buying the Right Equipment
Step 1. Purchase a smaller surveillance camera
Large cameras will be more difficult to hide in an easily visible place. The smaller the camera size, the easier it is to hide the camera. When considering the options you have, choose the smaller size.
Small camera brands include: Netgear Arlo Pro, LG Smart Security Wireless Camera, and Nest Cam IQ
Step 2. Purchase a wireless surveillance camera
By buying a wireless camera, you don't have to bother hiding the cable. Wireless cameras are usually more expensive, but easier to hide.
Popular wireless camera brands include: Netgear Arlo Q, Belkin Netcam HD+, and Amazon Cloud Cam
Step 3. Buy a camera connected with cloud storage
Buying a camera that automatically uploads video footage to internet storage will ensure you don't lose important footage when the camera is tampered with or destroyed.
