There are many uses for keeping a hidden camera (or two) around the house. Whether you're keeping an eye on the nanny, giving yourself peace of mind against burglaries, or even something as awful as dealing with an abuse case, covert cameras are a great way to collect unbiased evidence.
The industry has changed greatly over the last decade or so. We have gone from settling for a clunky device with a camera lens as thick as a soda bottle to homeowners being empowered to choose a spy camera with night vision, motion detection modes, and 1080P HD video.
You can choose a covert camera that is also a fully functional USB charger or a smoke detector if that's what you want! Even better, there is a wide array of cameras that let you view a room instantly and remotely in real-time. Once set up, checking in is as easy as using an app on your phone. Here are a few of our favorites for this task.
We now have access to many incredible ways to protect our loved ones, homes, and possessions. It's wonderful but can also be overwhelming if you're new to the field. We've done our best to create a list of diverse, high-quality hidden camera options that will meet your needs without being overly complex.

AIR PURIFIER SECURITY CAMERA
Often, the best-hidden cameras are the ones that hide in plain sight. This air purifier is fully functional and houses a high-definition WIFI camera capable of remote viewing. The perfect picture quality makes it an ideal camera for checking in on the kids at home, holding the nanny accountable, or watching the handyman when you're in the other room!
To access the remote video, connect your Android or iPhone to your "air purifier" through your home WIFI, and you can see all the information live!
To allow for the greatest flexibility in terms of placement, this particular camera offers a 90-degree view and built-in night vision that can see up to 15 feet in total darkness. It's a perfect disguise, and it's the best quality. This camera can boast a 256GB SD card with 200 hours of storage available. You can clear off the device through the associated app, which means once it's installed, you never have to touch it again.
You may think that an app isn't a secure place to keep your security videos, but let us assure you that the Tuya Smart application is exactly where you want your videos. All of the footage taken by your camera is encoded and decrypted on the memory card. It's then stored within the app and can only be accessed through your account. Even if your memory card is taken, traditional video players or computers can't play the saved videos. This smart device is a great way to keep your footage protected.
This camera doesn't have a backup battery, so make sure it stays plugged in for continuous power! It might look weird if your air purifier wasn't plugged in, so keeping it near an outlet would make sense anyway.

All the videos (even from multiple cameras) can be viewed and downloaded from your smart device through the free PV Cam View app. The files are easily copied or managed and moved to other devices such as your Mac or Windows computer.
