There are many clever ways to hide security cameras.

Some require a bit of construction; some calls for creativity; while others already come disguised. 

Why Hide Security Cameras? 

People who are up to no good are on the lookout for security cameras so they can turn the view away from them or disable them . Keep them out of sight so they can do their job. 

Also, having visible cameras give off an uncomfortable vibe – especially when you have guests. Hide security cameras so they don’t ruin the mood. 

 Having visible outdoor cameras can make them easy targets for vandalism. Hiding them from plain sight protects your cameras.  

How to Hide Security Cameras

1 – Buy Small Security Cameras

The best way to hide security cameras is to get small security cameras or spy cameras. Their small size make them easier to hide. 

Needless to say, they also need to be wire free. Having no wires make them easy to hide and place anywhere. 

2 – Get a Decorative Skin Case Cover

This is the easiest way to do it. There are many designs to choose from. 

You can choose fun-looking ones that make the cameras look like cute decors. And there are some that can camouflage against your plants. 

3 – Hide them with your Other Stuff

Another easy way to hide security cameras is to hide them amongst your other stuff. 

The most common things they are hidden with are tissue boxes, book shelves, smoke detectors, potted plants, hanging plants, and stuffed animals.

4 – Hide them Up There

When they are placed above people’s line of sight, they will be hardly noticed.

Their most common hiding places are in smoke detectors, lights, among top shelf books, or high up in the wall.  

5 – Hide Them Behind Plants

It would be better if it’s tucked behind a bushy type of plant or a group of plants. 

What would make it more effective is if you use a camouflage skin case so they will just blend in with the plants. 

6 – Hide Them in the Socket

This is probably the best way to conceal a camera. An unsuspecting person will not even know it’s there.  If your intention is to spy, this is one of the best way to do it. 

7 – Hide Them in an Alarm Clock or Tissue Box Enclosure

It’s a good way to hide a camera. Not only is it an unnoticeable place to hide it but it also allows you to change its position and location easily. 

8 – Hide Outdoor Security Cameras Under the Eaves 

If you place them under the eaves of your roof, people will hardly notice them.  

Just make sure you install them at a time when there aren’t many passersby or most neighbors aren’t home. Otherwise, you’ll be giving away their location. 

9 – Hide Outdoor Security Cameras in a Bush or Tree

A bush or tree that has thick foliage can do a good job of hiding your camera.

Plants and trees are expected things you see outside. And most people don’t pay close attention to them unless they’re looking for something.  

10 – Hide Outdoor Security Cameras in a Birdhouse

A birdhouse is enclosed. And it naturally has holes.

This makes it a good hiding spot for your security cameras.
