January 18, 201412 yr I need a hidden camera to catch a thief. I tried a cheap mini camera hidden in a cigarette lighter already, but the image quality is very bad and it's not user friendly at all, I am never really sure that is is setup properly. also the battery life is too short, so I need a wired setup. I saw on the internet some companies offer hidden cams in fans, coffe machines, etc. Are there shops in Pattaya offering such equipment?
January 19, 201412 yr Why not buy a GoPro - http://gopro.com/ - after you catched the thief, you can use it with your car, motorbike, bicycle or car. Good battery life, good quality of film.

January 21, 201412 yr Author guys... I need a *concealed* camera, i.e. hidden in some other object which will not scare the thief. The phone idea... the thief will just pocket the phone and what then ?? I need something like an air freshener, a cd player/boombox, air purifier, lamp, clock, coffee machine... stuff like that, accessible by network and able to record HD.
January 21, 201412 yr Does anybody knows where to buy professional streets cameras ? The ones that can record what happens at least at 50 meters or more from the camera ? I guess that they only have cheap things at TUKCOM ? Edited January 21, 201412 yr by thailandbeachisland
January 21, 201412 yr The problem with those little cameras hidden everywhere it's that the quality of the images are rubbish.... As you made it clear that it needs to be hidden, then i would go this way, buy a standard small cctv set and cameras that will give you good quality images, then you need to put some wiring here and there to connect them all, drill a small hole on the ceiling and hide the camera there, or any other place that will give it a clear look to the area you want to monitor, or just modify any of the machines you have there already, as the big fat tv, computers, etc...

January 21, 201412 yr One big weakness with a security camera, all the thief has to do is cover his face with a hat/scarf, then it becomes much more difficult to prove it was him.
January 21, 201412 yr Just been in tukcom The guy I use has HD in a clock Two styles 2200 & 2500 3rd floor at the front Next to JJB computers

January 21, 201412 yr Just been in tukcom The guy I use has HD in a clock Two styles 2200 & 2500 3rd floor at the front Next to JJB computers check what they cost on Ebay to see if that is a decent price..... you can also install iSpy on your computer and use a webcam
January 21, 201412 yr just saw this from the UK http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/01/20/burglar-simon-king-webcam_n_4632815.html?ncid=webmail1 one thing is the cheap cameras are horrible in low light........maybe set up a light that goes on with motion so you can get a good picture
January 21, 201412 yr IR webcams will do the trick. All you need to do is place them in an inconspicuous place(s) & have enough disk space to record a days video. Heaps out there....

January 22, 201412 yr Phone apps here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-turn-android-iphone-into-spy-camera-or-baby-monitor/ Best idea i've seen so far... Is it legal or can you end up in jail as per the western countries Spying is a very big no no
January 22, 201412 yr Does anybody knows where to buy professional streets cameras ? The ones that can record what happens at least at 50 meters or more from the camera ? I guess that they only have cheap things at TUKCOM ? In Pantip and MBK there are guys who sell that kind of gear but have big cameras to capture the resolution, you want a pin hole camera setup. look for that.

January 22, 201412 yr Here is what my buddy does , He has one "in your face" camera with a blinking light , its hooked up but really its so they know there is a camera , but he also has a few smaller hidden cameras in case they cover, paint, destroy the "in your face" camera. Most will not look for the 2nd camera in the same area, you can also get an IP camera that sends a picture to your smart phone when motion is detected.

I don't know about that. this one looks pretty good to me.
