The Alarm Clock Hidden Camera With DVR is a great way to set up a one camera video surveillance system that will record clear color video whenever someone walks in front of the clock.

If you are looking for the easiest, low cost way to watch one room in your home, apartment, or office, than these self-contained, one camera video surveillance systems are for you.

These cameras are only color, not low light b/w, so they work best in during the day,  or in lit rooms. In dark rooms, they will not work very well, if at all if it's pitch black. Try the SecureShot Phantom one or two hidden camera system for the best in low light or dark recordings.

Just pick the location you want to record, set the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera With DVR in a corner, or on a desk or shelf, and plug it in. The unit is set up for motion detection, so it will record video during the time a person is in front of it. It will not record "dead air," unless you change the setting to record continuous.

When you plug in the the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera, it will power the unit, the camera, and the DVR, so everything is powered by the standard electrical plug sticking out the back. No cords, wires, antennas, or anything else that will make someone think these are hidden cameras recording their every move.

If you feel your Nanny or Elderly parents caregivers are not taking care of them correctly, set this up in the room, and you will know right away if they are the person you need to take care of them.

If you have things showing up missing at home or work, set this up in the corner, and anyone that comes in the room will be filmed. If someone is stealing something, or doing something they should not, you will get it on tape.

This Alarm Clock hidden camera also has Motion Detection Area Masking. For example, if you have a dog or cat, and don't want it to set off the motion detector, you can mask the lower part of the field of vision so it does not detect motion, thus your dog does not set it off every time they enter the room.

Watch your video on your TV with the video cable, or take out the SD card, and watch on your PC with the included SD card reader.

No matter if you need a good Nanny cam to watch your Nanny, or a Granny cam to watch over the person taking care of your parents or relatives, or if things are showing up missing at home or work, this one camera, self-contained video surveillance system is just the thing you watch over the place when you are not around.

The SD card slot is on the lower back, so unless someone picked it up and examined it, they won't know it's a video camera. Click on the picture above to see what the slot area looks like.
