Hidden Cameras and the Cheating Spouse

In the last 50 years, the rate of infidelity has increased and this is the single most important reason that accounts for the high number of divorces. Infidelity can be an issue with either of the partners or spouses and sometimes even both of them can have extra-marital relationships. Increasing loss of trust in relationships has also increased the requirement for hidden cameras or in some cases spy cameras. It is difficult to get accurate statistics of cheating spouses because it is difficult to arrange for and manage such statistics.
 
Some Infidelity Statistics
There are some research and survey companies who have spent a great deal of time to find some amount of data on this issue and here's what they found:
 
Cheating Spouse Statistics:
According to a research, it has been identified that one of the prime driving factors of infidelity is the Internet. Since the time internet messaging, chat forums and social communities became popular over the Internet, infidelity has been on the rise. According to a statement made by the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families, there are almost 40 million Internet users who are involved in infidelity and pornography over the Internet in the United States. In fact, according to NCPCE, "sex" is the most searched for term over the Internet.
 
According to different research organizations like Buss and Shackelford, in the United States the estimated percentage for infidelity among married people vary from 30 to 60%. The sad outcome is that more than half of these marriages lead to divorce.
 
Research also states that an average of 2%-3% children is born from infidelity. Cheating spouses never have the courage to reveal the truth to their partners. Infidelity is growing and most cheating spouses are in the age group of 25-30 years.
 
So what are the options? The options like counseling etc., can be possible only if you can catch your spouse cheating. The best and most discrete way to catch a cheating spouse is through hidden cameras.
 
Hidden Cameras and What They Can Do
Hidden cameras are easily available in the market these days and you can even pick one up from the Internet. Not only that, hidden cameras are available in different shapes and sizes like wall clock hidden camera, smoke detector hidden camera, pen hidden camera and much more. Any hidden camera fixed inside another device like a clock or a pen is movable and can be placed in any place for monitoring activity of cheating spouses.
 
The different types of hidden cameras available include:
Hidden cameras for peeping toms: Of course, this type of hidden camera has been developed for peeping toms and is largely used for pornography. But this camera is quite obscure and can be used even on cheating spouses. These hidden cameras can be placed just about anywhere from a hotel washroom to your bedroom.
 
The Nightcam: The salient feature of this hidden camera is that it can record even in low light conditions and is ideal for night use.  Most nightcams have built-in infrared capabilities and hence, can see just about anything in the night. One of the popular nightcams is the 580 line resolution 48 LED Camera, which can give you sharp pictures in the daytime as well as nighttime. It has been built for both indoor and outdoor use and is weatherproof. Some of the other infrared nightcams include the invisible LED camera. This is a 940nm Infrared LED camera that is almost invisible to everyone else except you especially in the darkness. It is ideal for use in store rooms, sleep clinics, warehouses, hotels, and nursing homes and any place where you don't want the night camera to work effectively even in pitch black conditions.
 
Nanny cams: Nanny Cams have been devised specifically for watching over nannies but it can be effectively used for cheating spouses as well. It is used by people for even low grade sting operations. The camera will provide you with a full video of the happening within the house and around the house or place where you have put the camera. The hidden nanny cams are available in different sizes as well as shapes like a weather alert radio, desk calculator wireless camera, cube wood clock radio, wireless wall clock, air freshener camera, air ionizer DVR camera, carbon monoxide motion detector, coffee mugs, digital camera sunglasses and much more.
 
Traditional Spy Camera: This is the mother of all hidden cameras - the traditional spy cameras that have been used for ages by spies as well as different people from different backgrounds. Over the years, these cameras have become more advanced and can be fixed anywhere from a shirt button to a wrist watch. The spy cameras are available in different categories like body worn cameras where the camera is built-in to an object that can be carried or worn on the body. Some of the most common body worn spy cameras include button cameras, pen cameras, etc. Then there are the plugged cameras, which are the best for cheating spouses. You can plug them to an electrical source and these are normally built-in into clock radios, music systems, radio, and any appliance that works on electricity. A body worn camera can cost you anywhere from 0-0 while a plug in camera can cost you anywhere from 0 - 0.
 
Police Car Cameras: These cameras are normally used in police cars or at traffic junctions and are normally hidden cameras. You can use them to get video footage of any outdoor activity. You can hide it in the trees in your lawn and comfortably get the entire video footage sitting in your room. The only thing is that you can use this type of a camera only if there is enough places to hide it because these are bulky cameras that can stand out if they are not properly camouflaged. The police car and traffic cameras are also very expensive verses the normal spy cameras.
 
Surveillance cameras or systems: The surveillance cameras are mostly used for providing security to a home but they can be used for cheating spouses as well. Some of the surveillance cameras can be hidden within your home while some of them have to be in the open. If you are installing hidden cameras for cheating spouses then you need to go for discrete surveillance cameras like the color dome security camera. Some of the advantages of this camera are that it can be extremely discreet and is definitely most suitable for applications like infidelity. This is a perfect camera for using it in places and for situations without getting noticed. These dome cameras are attractive and come in a compact design, which makes them absolutely ideal for applications like monitoring home entrance, shopping malls, offices etc. You can install them on a ceiling or even on a wall.
 
Wireless Cameras: The wireless cameras are also useful cameras when it comes to monitoring cheating spouses. The wireless cameras are available in different categories like B&W cameras and color cameras. The only disadvantage of these cameras is that they need to be hidden behind something because they can be spotted with the naked eye with ease.
 
Hidden Cameras, Do they really work?
Yes! All hidden cameras work unless they have run out of battery or are not connected to the power socket. The concept of the hidden cameras is to record any unusual behavior or incident without getting noticed. Hence, most of the modern hidden cameras are so small that they can be fitted into the button of your shirt. So you can walk into a restaurant and sit in one corner without being noticed and yet record the activities of your spouse. All hidden cameras have a built-in range for recording and you need to check the range before you pick one up.
 
Experts believe that hidden cameras are best for infidelity because they will provide you with valid proof. The only thing to remember is the placement; the right placement can get you the right moment. It is always a better option to use a hidden camera in a radio clock or a smoke detector because they are least considered as suspicious. The type of hidden camera to buy should depend on the following factors:
 
What and where you want to monitor: If you want to monitor the activities of your spouse when you are not at home or do you want to monitor the activities when your spouse is in the car etc. Accordingly, you will have to place the hidden camera.
 
Where do you want to hide the camera: If you want to hide the camera in the garage then you can have it in a music system but if you want to monitor activities in the bedroom then you can have a radio clock? The type of camera you buy will depend on where you want to place it.
 
Remember, like any surveillance device, hidden cameras can catch a cheating spouse in the act, but the emotional trauma may be too much to overcome. So be prepared!

Security Cameras (Video Surveillance) And Your Business

Compared to Europe, and especially Great Britain, the United States is way behind in both the technology and the sheer number of Video Surveillance or 'security camera' installations. In England there is roughly one public surveillance camera for every 14 people, while in the USA it is almost 100 times LESS than that. When you consider the comparative crime rates between the countries, ours being much higher, this seems rather strange. I often wonder if the two factors, the crime rate and the number and sophistication of surveillance systems, have a direct correlation, - in other words does the fact that they have more, and more obvious, surveillance cameras keep their crime rate low? I suspect that it does, although there are many other contributing factors such as the criminal apprehension success ratio and the swiftness and certitude of punishment. Additionally, of course, there are the factors of geography and density of population - England will fit into North Carolina twice, and into Florida about 4 times, so they have a lot less cable to run than we do.

What does that have to do with you, and your business? Probably not much, but if the number and visibility of cameras does in fact reduce crime, wouldn't you want to do everything you can to deter crime in your business? Much controversy exists as to "privacy" issues with surveillance camera usage, although the courts have repeatedly ruled that if public activity can be observed with the human eye (in person), then privacy is not violated if that observation is by camera so long as the camera is readily visible. It is curious that in the US, even in business establishments, we seem to feel the need to hide our surveillance cameras. Are we afraid that we might upset our customers if cameras are visible? Do we think that surveillance cameras detract from the 'ambiance' or 'look' of our store or business? Or do we think that if the bad guys don't see that we have cameras, they might be bolder in their approach and less prone to disguising their appearance?

It's a lot like the philosophy differences between law enforcement hiding behind trees or riding in unmarked cars to catch speeders, and sitting in highly visible (often garish) marked patrol cars on an elevated mound in the median or alongside the highway, as they do in Europe. Both have the intent of reducing speed and making the highways safer (I think), but one is focused on catching and punishing perpetrators and the other is focused on deterring them from speeding in the first place. Personally, I'm a firm believer in the deterrent approach. If crime is an unavoidable fact of life, I want the bad guys choosing somebody else's store to rob or pilfer from and not mine. Therefore, in a business environment I want my cameras highly visible, and if possible I want a big color monitor where all my patrons can see that I have the entire facility under surveillance, including them, and that the pictures are sharp, in color, and with a close enough view to make identification undeniable. I also probably want a few "covert" cameras, placed where not even my employees know they are, and which do not show up on the public, or even the back-office, monitor. Inventory "shrinkage" is often more costly than overt crime, and unfortunately your employees are frequently the cause.

There are more types of cameras, and more types and sizes of lenses, than you can "shake a stick at" (as my Grandmother used to say). Each one has their specific and unique applicability and application to get the very best picture possible under every circumstance. Why then, do I see that many of my competitors, even those who should know better, installing virtually every project where every camera is the same? What is the current fascination with the "bullet-style" LED-equipped day/night cameras - everywhere? Is it for "looks" (as opposed to views) and symmetry (as opposed to functionality)? It must be, because as we at The Shepherd's Eyes conduct surveys in our business we have yet to see an installation site where the exact same type and style of camera is appropriate in every location. As a consumer/client, if a video surveillance system vendor tries to tell you that 4, 8, or 16 cameras, each exactly the same, are needed in your business or store, send him away and call someone else because he obviously doesn't know his business. The nasty little secret is probably that he's probably bought some "surveillance packages" from a discount house and now needs to get rid of them.

There is also an increasing prevalence of "dome" cameras (as opposed to other styles) today. Even some of my bank customers are insisting we install them. Frankly, I don't understand why. They are "neater" in appearance than what are called "box" cameras in the industry, and with the smoked polycarbonate dome it is difficult to see where the lens is pointing, so I suspect that the intention is to not make it obvious that a negligent or lazy layout designer has left an area unprotected. The lenses are more easily kept clean, and they are less prone to some overzealous and careless janitor knocking them out of alignment or focus, so I guess this (mistakenly) means you can install them and forget them? - but in my never-to-be-humble opinion the 'cons' against their use often far outweigh the 'pros'. I suspect that in many cases it's a simply a matter of laziness or lack of expertise again; if the system specifier or the salesman specs dome cameras, all the same, he or she doesn't need to have the expertise or take the time to do a detailed and thoughtful layout of the building and it's use.

They don't need (if they are designing from floor plans) to be able to envision traffic flow, imagine where customers or patrons will stand, which side of a double-door exit most people use, where a hold-up robber will probably be, or where a nighttime break-in will begin and end. They also don't need to worry about creating a detailed sketch of the facility, showing exact camera type, placement, and field of view for an installer, and then ensuring that the cameras spec'd are placed in the locations intended, - heck, the salesman might even have to visit the site during installation if he specs different types of cameras in different places. This same logic (or lack thereof) applies to any installation where the exact same camera is sold for every location in the facility. The fact is that they are short-changing their customers, and often leaving areas insufficiently or inadequately, or even uncovered. That's why often, on the evening news, you see fuzzy, distant, unfocused or partial images of a robbery, the wrong cameras or lenses, or insufficient cameras, were installed in the wrong places. There's no excuse for that.

In summary then,
• If you allow the general public into or on your property, you probably will be best protected by having a professional install a professional video surveillance system. This isn't just to protect against robbery or burglary or theft, or to provide pictures of the perpetrator(s) to law enforcement, it's also to provide evidence should a liability claim be made against you. (More about this topic in a future article.)

• Make sure that whoever you get to install the system knows exactly what they are doing and why (and yes, this means you too if you misguidedly decide to do it yourself to 'save money'). If your system doesn't provide clear, identifiable (meaning close-up face views) and setting-appropriate images, you may as well not even bother. In the earlier days of financial institution surveillance, the FBI and the FDIC required that customers standing in typical customer service settings the images being recorded from the cameras show a 1" 'customer head size' on a 10" monitor - that equates to the face shot being 1/10th of the frame vertically and horizontally. That's still a good rule of thumb to follow. [Please, DON'T ever install "dummy" cameras - they have the potential of costing more in court-sustained liability claims than you can ever imagine. (More about this topic in a future article.)]

• If somebody suggests that the exact same camera will work well in every location, and for every area to be covered in your premises or on your property, ask them why, how, and to show you the views they get before you write the check for the deposit.

• Think about why you're installing a system, and what you need it to do for you. No video surveillance system alone can be all the protection you need, - it should be part of a complete premise protection approach. (More about this topic in a future article.)

• Consider the applicability and appropriateness of a (big) "public view" monitor. They are not inexpensive, but they can be the most important element of your system depending on your type of business and your premises.

• Consider your hours of operation and your lighting conditions. There's absolutely no point in installing IR Day/Night cameras (the IRLEDs tend to burn out within 2 years or less, requiring the cameras to be replaced) although they are all the rage nowadays, if your DVR is set to either an open-hours schedule or motion sensitivity and you're not open 24 hours a day. (More about this topic in a future article.)

And last but certainly not least... Give serious and long consideration to your DVR. It's not only the heart of your system, but its most expensive element. Nothing has been said in this article about DVRs - that's the topic of our very next article, appearing shortly.

With your best interest always in mind,
