A pinhole surveillance camera can serve a variety of home and office security needs. Before choosing a pinhole surveillance camera to purchase, you should educate yourself on the different types available, as well the different features and technical requirements of each type of pinhole surveillance camera.

The first thing you need to know is what exactly a pinhole surveillance camera is. Basically, a pinhole surveillance camera is a very tiny video camera. The lens of this type of camera is very small, between and one and two millimeters. Due to it’s very small size, the pinhole camera can film through a very tiny hole or even lightly woven clothing. The video image produced by a pinhole surveillance camera is similar to the quality of an everyday camcorder type of camera. Pinhole cameras may come with or without the capability to capture audio or sound. Another feature option on this type of camera is that they are available in both wired and wireless configurations. In order to view the video captured by the pinhole surveillance camera, you would need to hook the camera up to a viewing device such as a television, computer monitor, camcorder, or other viewing device.

Obviously, the tiny sized pinhole camera would be ideal in a situation in which you do not want your surveillance to be detected. For example, the pinhole type of camera would be useful as what is often referred to as a “nanny cam”. A nanny cam is simply a camera a family would install to record the activities of their child’s or children’s caretaker. A nanny cam could also refer to a camera that is used to record the caretaker of an elderly relative or loved one. Another situation in which a pinhole camera might be useful would be in an office where you want to track the comings and goings of your employees. Also, a pinhole camera could be helpful in tracking the happenings in a company stockroom, especially where employee theft is suspected. Lastly, a pinhole camera could be useful in confirming the suspected infidelity of a spouse or significant other.

If you purchase a wired pinhole camera, you will need to connect it to your VCR or DVD recording device using an RCA cable. You will also need to plug the camera into an AC power source. If there is no electrical power source available, some pinhole cameras are capable of running on a battery, but this will obviously limit your video capture time. If you purchase a wireless pinhole camera, you will be setting up a transmitter and a receiver. Many pinhole cameras have the transmitter built into the camera so all you need to do is hook the included receiver up to your video capturing device. It is important to note that most wireless pinhole cameras do not have the ability to record sound. So make sure you take this into consideration when selecting your camera.
