in this room we have three security
cameras looking at you right now can you
spot them so you might have an Arlo a
nest cam a wise camera which we just
covered or something else and today
we're going to be talking about seven
different tips on how to hide those
cameras around your house so there's a
lot of reasons to hide your security
cameras around your house
if someone's breaking in that's probably
one of the first things they're going to
try to steal another reason is if you're
at someone's house and there's a
security camera just in your face or
even at your own house make you feel a
little uncomfortable smile a nanny
camera so no matter where you go we'll
be watching you yeah it's crazy that
came out 18 years ago
I feel pretty old we're gonna be
covering seven different ways to hide
those cameras around your house we're
also going to be covering mini Wi-Fi cam
at the end and we're gonna be doing a
little mini movie tiny short review at
the end so the first thing we want to
talk about how to hide a security camera
is with skins are low for example it's a
really beautiful camera but the white
just kind of sticks out a little bit so
you can buy inexpensive skins and these
can go on your camera and we'll have
links in the description below and they
can make it blend in to the surroundings
a lot easier let's show you some
different examples of how to hide those
from this view do you see where the
cameras hidden give you a second to look
so we're gonna go in on it it's actually
up in the tree and this is a pretty cool
place to put a security camera because
you can have it look back and see
license plates it can also see more
angles of your house back to that first
video we showed you of three cameras
hidden in this room so the first one
we're gonna go up and it's in a plant
and this is using another skin and this
is up high in a plant so making up high
is also really helpful you'll want to
use some kind of built-in stand where it
can kind of look down if it's up high
like with the Arlo you might mean
something else you can kind of put stuff
to prop it up a lot easier just to get
something like this little stand and you
can have it point down that's what we're
using the second one in this room is in
the stuffed animal and this one it's
actually a little creepy you know it's
right there in the eye and our little
girl is a little freaked out by it and I
don't blame her it's like this
Terminator eye or something looking out
and there's a nest cam in there blends
in pretty well I mean if you have some
stuffed animals you have some kids this
is a nice way to hide security cameras
just get an old stuff animal I cut out
an eye or something the only issue is
obviously kids if you put it down low
like this they might try to go play with
it and there's a cord attached to it so
the next camera you can probably guess
where it's hidden there's not too many
places to hide it right here it is right
there in the birdhouse this birdhouse is
not painted right now it's a little
craft that you can get at Walmart for
about five or six bucks but it there's a
really good size because you can fit an
Arlo in there really easy it comes glued
to the top but you can easily pop that
off now we get to the last camera hidden
in that room and it's actually in the
bookshelf the minicamp
is so small I can just go right there in
between a couple books you won't even
notice that even if you were up close it
would be really hard to see this thing
so the mini cam is a really good example
of you know just throw it pretty much
anywhere on that bookshelf and it's
gonna blend in now there's one other
place that we hid this if you're looking
right here try to guess where it's
hidden
and it's in the tissue box you've
probably seen hiding security cameras in
a tissue box super easy no it's a box
it's really cheap you can make it you
know have tissues in there but it's it's
a little more difficult if you have like
a yellow tissue box and if you have a
hole cut in it and you have a camera
sticking out and you try to make it
blend in so we did a pretty crappy job
putting some black construction paper
trying to blend in that hole you could
probably do a little bit better job than
us now we want to talk more about the
minicam when you unbox this thing it has
a bunch of accessories like little
magnetic mounts that you can do like a
clip and a ball and ring stamp that are
all magnetics kind of cool this thing
takes a micro SD card it is only
compatible up to 32 gigs they say it's
up to 128 gigs must be some kind of
software flaw because I try to put a 64
gig card in there didn't work so I had
to put in a smaller card this has night
vision it's nine got 960p
it's Wi-Fi so you can down the app you
can view the footage locally or remotely
this is a really good little device for
hiding in little spots it would be kind
of harder to hide like a bigger camera
but the software on this thing is not
that great every time you boot up the
camera it resets your settings it has a
little battery in it lasts about an hour
so you pretty much have to have it
always plugged in which isn't that big
of a deal there's a few other little
quirks with it it does have night vision
but it turns on night vision just way
too easily you can't you know manually
override so in all the footage you'll be
seeing there it's always night vision
even though it's really bright in the
room the mini cams display works pretty
well it's very responsive I mean the the
live feed is
maybe like a half second or a second
delay not not too long at all I feel
like this is kind of one of those things
you kind of plug it in forget about it
if you don't want to in plain sight this
is a good alternative it's not the best
quality compared to other cameras out
there so hopefully you found some ideas
on how to hide a security camera around
your house if you did find it helpful if
you give it a thumbs up we appreciate
you guys watching we'll see you again

little too creepy
