Hidden/Incognito Outdoor Placement Ideas?

[MiteyAV]

Hello,

I live in New Orleans and I have the largest Hikivision PTZ’s in the front of my home and in the back. They are connected to my Blue Iris machine. They are great. My only issue is they are so big that they instantly deter anyone from doing anything, I understand that’s the point, but my neighborhood has a bad issue with people breaking into cars, etc. I would like to get some clear footage of these hoodlums in action. Does anybody have any suggestions on where I can place cameras so that they are not easily recognizable? I’m not talking about the big PTZ‘s, the ones I am trying to conceal would be bullet cameras or similar.

If anybody has a set up, similar to the one that I’m trying to create. Please share it with me. I’m very tempted to put them quite low about 4 feet from the ground hidden somehow, but that is my only idea so far..

Thank you for taking the time to read this. This has been a great forum, I have learned everything I know from you guys!!

All the best,
Shaun

Search here for bird houses, up in trees, hose reels, landscape lighting. Etc are how folks have hidden them

If you haven't, study this: Cliff Notes.

So I roughly have installed a 5442 6mm birdhouse camera on lamp post 50' from my front door....with tire slashing incursion discussion

They work fine when wet and I think that unwrapping it would take way too much time? If your physical security is up to scratch, you will have already bought yourself that time. I'm not a huge fan of people who leave firearms lying around unsecured for quick access. If you can get them that...
