Hidden camera

Post by Garlydog »

Hello all,
I am looking for a camera that is hidden inside something that doesn't look like a camera that can be mounted on a ceiling or wall. Obviously must be compatible with Blue Iris.

Thanks
Gary

Not a lot to go on there :shock:

I guess ceiling means indoors, so no waterproofing required.

At the low cost end you can buy SD analogue spy cams that could be interfaced with BI5 via a card like my Picolo Pro. Just about any Ebay camera in a clock device would probably be a standard analogue cam that could be used this way.

At the high cost end there is the Dahua range https://us.dahuasecurity.com/?product=4 ... amera_lens but they need a control box as well, so $$$'s. It does appear to give you a 4MP IP cam for that money.

I have been searching for a 2MP cam to use as a door peephole camera without much success :(

This search on Amazon shows pinhole IP cams that I considered promising:
