Hidden cameras, spy cameras, surveillance cameras come in many sizes and shapes. There's bound to one just right for almost any situation. They are meant to blend in with their surroundings so no one would suspect they are being watched.

The "other guy" is thinking the same thing and <b>YOU</b> are that "other guy". There is a reason why they call it self defense. You have to protect yourself, your family, your home and business!!
