Can you answer Judy’s question about Surveillance?:
I’ve been searching the net trying to find the perfect hidden camera to monitor the front of my house. There’s been burglaries in the neighborhood and just the other day some bastard busted up my car window and stole my speakers and amp.

Just so I can have some piece of mind, I’d like to look into a security/surveilance camera. I want something that can be hidden and doesn’t look like a camera. I’d love to find something I could put in a potted plant out front, or something like that. The best thing I’ve found so far is a Flood Light that’s a Hidden Camera, but it’s non-functional and I have to have some kind of lighting in my driveway so that’s not practical for me.
Any ideas?
Hidden Surveillance Camera
Surveillance Feedback: There are a lot of wireless/nanny cameras out on the market now, but you are probably going to need a night time/low light camera if lighting is not practical in your driveway. Then you will also need to decide how you want to store your video either on a PC or VCR.
The other thing to consider with wireless cameras would be picture quality, so a wired camera might be a better option for you if there is any wireless interference. smarthome.com has a variety of brands but aer usually more expensive. x10 that has a pretty cheap wired camera that is black and white which performs better at night and it plugs right into a vcr

They’ve got setups with cameras hidden in fake (but realistic looking) rocks and tree stumps. Professional, not gimmicky like a nannycam.
Their stuff has nightvision too.
Hope that helps you out.
