Understanding Covert Cameras Understanding Covert Cameras Covert Cameras, in essence, are a means of offering surveillance of an undetected or more discreet nature. Suitable for use in a broad range of internal applications, these miniature Cameras have been designed in developed to provide monitoring tools that are disguised in the form of everyday commercial and domestic objects. This ensures that they are able to blend inconspicuously into any background and consequently do not catch people's attention. These products are available in monochrome or colour versions and with optional audio.
Covert cameras tend to be used where there is a requirement to achieve particular objectives.
They are also useful for back-up surveillance in installations where the primary CCTV equipment is of a more traditional nature, i.e. standard cameras. In this case Covert Cameras can operate as a back-up where primary cameras are disabled by an intruder. When introducing a covert system, it is important to recognise that access to recorded material must be kept to a minimum to ensure the privacy of individuals who may appear. A responsible policy should be introduced to ensure that footage from covert cameras is used for the purposes it was intended. This article was supplied by Norbain and used with permission.
