My reviews are pretty popular nowadays – and I can allow myself some brave comments on the topic. You can buy one (or more) – but…

Does it make you a spy?

And you already know the answer. To use one, you need to get creative – you need to know what you’re after and what results you’re targeting. For covert filming you need tiny, micro cameras with a stable power supply which you can plant in a difficult to see location – usually in fire detectors, air conditioners, toys, wall light switches, etc – anything which has holes in it by default and these holes would not cause suspicion.

One other thing to be cautious about – you need a clean entrance and a clean exit – this means you got to enter unnoticed, plant the camera without leaving your fingerprints! – and be able to come again and take the camera back. A successful covert operation is one nobody ever knows about.

[box type="note"]A good way of not leaving fingerprints is to “swipe” your fingers off anything they touch. It goes like this: you touch something, but before you lift your fingers, you “swipe” them – as if you’re trying to clean something with your fingers, and indeed  you are – you’re cleaning away your fingerprints![/box]

People can’t just spy on others for no reason – first of all it’s illegal and second – it can get you in some real trouble with people you don’t want to deal with.

There are two ways of using a spy camera – professionally and risky.If you want to get professional, you need to learn.

Read this book:

Digital Video Surveillance and Security – as if you rely only on the Internet to educate you, you will stay ignorant. Read more!

Hopefully, you’ve followed my advice and you got the book – at least you will know how to protect yourself from sweet prison time before you get into planting cameras and filming footage!

Now, which camera should you choose?

Rule number 1: Trust me. Or at least read my reviews carefully and think before you buy – I’m picking the best gear out there at the best prices, but you should also use that round ball on your shoulders, right? Come here regularly, as I’ll be posting some serious gear every couple of days. You can also subscribe to my RSS feed (top of the page, top right corner) – this will keep you posted. Soon I’ll be adding a newsletter to this site too – make sure you subscribe to it as it will be one of the main sources of information to my readers.

Rule number 2: don’t be cheap. Of course, I pick the best prices but I also take care to review only *the best spy cameras on the market*. That’s it, and I don’t make compromises. Look for build quality and specs – always get a better cam / microphone / gear if you can afford it – it will pay for itself in the future.

Rule number 3: never ever do anything illegal. You will get caught and you will get in trouble – if not the first time, sometime later in your “spy life”. Be careful and obtain legal permission to use them – or at least have some really valid reason – like preventing crimes, etc. This is probably the most important rule. If you’re not a professional and you’re not educated about what you’re doing you will make mistakes and you will get caught. There’s no “maybe” or “probably” – it will definitely happen. So don’t make anything stupid, please – don’t go planting spy cameras if you don’t have the permission to!

Now, if you really are after some serious spy gear, head over this link – hidden spy cameras – I know, it’s not Amazon, but I use this site very regularly  - and you can bet the gear they sell is top notch. We all know our electronics are built in China – be it Apple or some noname brand – just trust me once, get something from there (something nice!) and you’ll thank me for many years later! The guys at AliExpress are pretty big – I don’t know exactly how big they are, but they are indeed competing with Amazon at much lower prices (you’re kinda buying from the source with no middle men).

So what are you waiting for? Go explore!
