i’ve tried several hidden cameras from aliexpress and amazon, but no luck—all of them had poor quality and bad apps.
looking for a solid, high-quality hidden cam. any suggestions?
why use a hidden camera for home security? you can disguise any regular cam if needed, but i’m curious why go hidden? personally, i keep mine in plain sight as a deterrent. maybe you have a reason, though—would love to know more!
@Malik
one reason people use hidden cameras is to catch a partner in unfaithful actions for proof.

i get that, but this forum is about home security, not catching cheaters. i’d have different advice for that kind of situation.
@Malik
i’m interested in that advice too!

my dad is a 90-year-old veteran, and he’s blind. i have a caregiver helping him daily, but i’ve dealt with a few who stole from us or acted unprofessionally. even had one hide random things like dishes in strange spots. that’s why i’m looking for a hidden camera for inside the house.
@Tony
please thank your dad for his service. Blink makes small Wi-Fi cams that are easy to hide and run on batteries. also, having some visible cameras around could be helpful for areas where your dad receives care, though not in the bathroom, of course. just be careful with secretly recording—it’s often best to inform caregivers that cameras are present except in private spaces.
funny story—i once fired someone for covering a camera with a band-aid. the whole thing got caught on tape, from him opening the band-aid to covering the lens. even his union rep couldn’t argue with it!
what type of hidden cam are you looking for? i might have some ideas.
i have this cam and it works great.
