Small, battery-operated, motion-detected cameras are great. They're water-resistant, and the battery can last for months. Plus, if it's connected to a Wi-Fi network, you can get updates on the battery status or check in on the camera whenever you'd like.

Place your camera on a car, or conceal it in a tree by making it look like a rock. You can place small, battery-operated cameras just about anywhere.

Question

How do I hide a security camera in an apartment?

Community Answer

Hide it behind some plants or in a teddy bear. Make sure to get a bear with shiny eyes so that it won't look out-of-place. If there are books in the area, hide it behind them. You can also make fake books with just the binding. It depends on the size of the camera; the smaller the better.
