So you’ve recently gotten a new hidden home security camera but don’t have the foggiest idea where to put it.
Where can you put a spy cam that’s disguised yet can capture crystal clear footage?
Here are a few suggestions on how to disguise your home security cam:

With a Similar Color Background
Most camera spy devices come in an unassuming color- either white, black or gray and in different shapes and sizes. To make them blend in you will need a similar colored background.
Fortunately, walls, ceilings and modern fixtures are usually in the same hue. The idea is to check around and get ideas on where you can attach the spy cam.
Among Common Household Items
If you want to put the hidden camera out of sight then you will want to put it among common household items.
Today’s cameras, especially the spy variants can easily fit in curtain rods, books, artificial plants, toys, tissue boxes and the like.
Just make sure that the view is unobstructed and you can still maintain a clear picture or footage after hiding them among things.
Choose a Specific Type
There’s a number of hidden home cameras you can choose from, and each one has its own pros and cons.
Doorbell cameras can look like ordinary doorbells except they have a small lens to see who the visitor is. There are novel ones, such as plush toys that have built-in cameras, and picture frames that do the same.
Install Fake Cameras
To draw peoples’ eyes away from the real thing you can install fake cameras that are in plain sight. You can intentionally put them in bad areas while keeping an optimal view with the real spy camera.
Having fake cameras have the added benefit of making people aware that there’s one and they’ll be less likely to carry out the act.
