The underside of a Soffit– A soffit is essentially where the roof overhangs the wall of a building. If a properly fitted camera is nestled in the corner, many criminals or unexpected intruders most likely wouldn’t see it until directly underneath it, and that’s if they look.

Interior

Inside your home or business, there are even more creative options to hide cameras.

Within Tissue Box- Cutting a small hole into a tissue box is an easy way to conceal a security camera. Be sure to test the view and angle to be sure it captures the area you are looking to surveil.
