Selection criteria for covert HD CCTV cameras
Application and scope
Prioritise framing and integration in an authorised installation. Check how the equipment fits the installation and which functions you need before comparing models.
Discreet mounting and useful images
Check lens position and the area actually covered after mounting. Review recorder signal support, available light and connections; a small camera does not guarantee sufficient coverage.
What to check before buying
Review signal format, framing, lens, lighting and power. Consult conditions and contents of each model rather than assigning identical capabilities to every product in the category.

Questions before buying
Does a small size guarantee a clear view of the whole scene?
No. Lens, position and lighting determine useful framing. Check the image with the intended mounting arrangement.
Can I connect it to any recorder?
Check signal format, resolution and power requirements of the camera and recorder before choosing the combination.
