If I buy one of your hidden camera systems, will I be able to view and record with my current TV and VCR?

Yes. All of our systems will work on the VCR that you currently own — Guaranteed. Every VCR manufactured in the world today has additional RCA adapter plugs that will work with ANY of our units! ALL standard home VCRs, commercial grade VCRs and time-lapse VCRs have an RCA line-in video input along with (usually located on the rear of the unit) allowing recording, as well as viewing with or without a TV connected to the recorder. Line inputs are the female RCA-type jacks at the rear of the VCR. 

Why are 2.4GHz frequency products better?

Due to increasing interference with 900mhz cordless phones and other electronic devices that utilize the over-crowded 900mhz frequency, we sell only 2.4GHz products. We do not sell any 900mhz or 434 MHz camera transmitters.

Will anyone know that I’m buying spy products?

Not unless you tell them. We ship all of our products discreetly from "ISS Corporation." In addition, we take every precaution to protect your privacy. That means we will NEVER sell any of your personal information down to your email address.

More than 85% of the hidden spy cameras we sell are wireless. The main reason wireless is the preferred choice of our customers is they’re just so easy to set-up and use. No holes to drill in the wall or cords to hide. The hidden camera images are sent to a receiver wirelessly using a 2.4GHz transmitter. To install one of our wireless systems, just hook up the receiver to the TV or VCR you already own, and turn on the camera. In five minutes, you’re done.

Are all of your hidden camera systems complete, or will I have to buy anything else?

ALL of our systems come complete with everything you need — down to the connection cords. Our systems even work with the VCR and TV that you currently ownYou will NOT have to purchase any additional hardware. Everything you need to get your system fully up and running is included with your order.

How many hours of continuous recording will I get with one of your hidden camera systems?

In addition to the camera’s battery life, you will have to consider the device you use to record. If you choose to connect your hidden camera to your current VCR, you will get up to 8 hours of recording (and all of our systems are compatible with your current VCR). If you require more recording time, upgrade your system with a Digital Video Recorder. Previously, a rare choice for the home user because of the high cost. With recent price cuts, we are now able to recommend this to our clientele who require longer monitoring periods. You can expect to get 2-4 weeks of continuous recording from an 80GB DVR.

I need to record in a low-light area. How do I find the right camera? —

By looking at the LUX in the  product specifications, you can determine the ability of a camera to record in low light. LUX is a standardized measurement of a camera's sensitivity to light. The lower the number, the less light it will take to reproduce a clear image. So if you need to record in low light, you want to get the lowest number possible. Here’s what you can expect from a camera with the following LUX levels: A camera that sees down to 1 LUX means it generally has the ability to see an image during early evening hours or just before dusk. A camera with a LUX level of  .1 has the ability to see an image in a well lit parking lot, for example. A LUX rating of .05, gives the camera the ability to clearly view an image in a dimly lit area at night. A .05 image can usually enable a camera to actually see better than the human eye at night.

Why should I care about camera resolution?

The higher the resolution number, the sharper the image will be. It is determined by the number of horizontal video lines (like 430 or 320  lines) that the camera needs in order to reproduce the desired image.  Although resolution is important when considering which camera to purchase, the quality of the cameras components is more important. We only sell high-resolution, name brand cameras, like Toshiba and Sony.

What is a Pinhole Camera, and why would I need one?

A pinhole camera is a miniature CCD image board with a lens opening of 1-3mm. The cameras in this category range in size from as small as 15mm x 15mm to as large as 2" x 2". Yet they produce real-time images similar to a camcorder. See our section on Pinhole Cameras. They connect to a recording device just like a regular hidden camera too, sending the video images being recorded to your device of choice (TV, VCR, computer monitor, camcorder or transmitter). Coming in at about the size of a quarter, in some cases, you can hide this just about anywhere.
