manarak Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloggie Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 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.

thailandbeachisland Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) 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 ?

SOMeTOM Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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...

nontabury Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshine51 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKKdreaming Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 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.
