This is the age of digital video. You can’t deny it. Everyone is walking around with cell phones, recording every little thing. You have to watch what you say and what you do for fear you’ll see yourself on the 6 0’clock news. Not only are cell phones changing how we conduct ourselves, there are hidden cameras being used for a myriad of reasons.
Many people with young children have installed “nanny cams” to watch what their babysitters are doing with their children. Of course they want to know everything is going well. And unfortunately many times they are witnessing their worst nightmare, their children being harmed or neglected.
Homeowners as well as retailers have installed cameras to watch for theft. Store cameras have been around for years and they really aren’t all that hard to spot. You can tell where the cameras are. Homeowners actually have a step up on this. The cameras they put in their homes are hidden from view. And we have all seen the evidence on the news that they do indeed work. We have watched burglars breaking in and grabbing valuables from homes never suspecting they were being filmed. Even car thieves have been deterred by a hidden camera in the dash.
As for other uses, wildlife has been filmed many times. Cameras are placed in areas where animal activity is suspected. And it’s always interesting to see what those cameras pick up. Perhaps there is some evidence that a large species of wolf is prowling through an area. A camera is installed and now the wait begins. After a few days the camera gives the evidence that it really wasn’t a wolf but a huge bobcat instead. Good to know this animal is in the area.
There is a brand of hidden camera whose name says it all; Covert. These cameras were made for hunters, nature lovers and home owners needing security of their property. Covert cameras are used to assist hunters in locating areas of deer. By putting out a camera a hunter can scout the area to see if it is actually populated with deer or any other wildlife. Wildlife observers can watch nature in all its glory without the disruption of being there. The images seen are stored on an SD card, but can be emailed to you immediately as well. Covert cameras are made to withstand the elements. They are made of hard plastic and blend in well with the trail. The models of Covert cameras span any budget you are operating under.
Yes, it is definitely the age of video and cameras. Why not get on the bandwagon and grab a Covert camera for your next outdoor adventure. You never know what you’ve been missing until you see it with your own eyes.
