WiFi Hidden Camera Clocks

Hidden Camera Clocks

One of the most popular styles of nanny cam is a hidden camera clock. The reason hidden camera clocks are so popular is because they blend in easily to any environment. Think about it - almost any room in your home or office could have a clock in it. It might be a wall clock, a desk clock, a clock on a shelf or table, or even just a small bedside alarm clock.

With clocks being a common item in so many places, it makes it easy to use one as a hidden camera, since they don’t look out of place wherever you may need one. Another added benefit is that clocks can be either battery or AC powered, neither would be uncommon to see in either a home or business, so it opens the possibilities even further for the style of clock, and for you to get the power supply that you need for either short term use (generally battery power) or longer term or 24/7 video surveillance (usually AC power).

AC vs Battery Power

When selecting a hidden camera clock or a nanny cam clock, one of the first things you may want to decide is whether to choose one that is AC powered or battery powered. Many hidden camera clocks are now dual powered, and offer both AC power AND battery power, so that’s another option too.

The main benefit of powering your hidden camera clock with AC power is that there are no battery life concerns that you need to worry about. You simply plug the camera in, and it’s ready to go. It won’t run out of “juice” and you won’t have to worry about recharging a battery every day or so. The only possible downside to this is that the placement is limited, since you’ll need an AC outlet nearby (or you can always plug it into an extension cord or surge protector if needed).

Battery powered hidden camera clocks are useful because they do not require any AC power, so they are much more portable. You can place them exactly where you need them, without worrying about having an outlet nearby. The only downside to battery power is that they will need to be periodically recharged, so they may not be ideal for long-term use in a single location.

WiFi vs Non-WiFi Clock Cameras

Another choice to consider is whether to go with a WiFi streaming clock camera, or a non-WiFi or “self recording” clock camera.

A WiFi streaming nanny camera allows you to live view your video right on your smartphone, which makes them great for both home security and office security. Because the video is live or real time, you get up to the second information about what is going on. You can also set motion detection alerts to notify you of activity as well.

Non-WiFi hidden camera clocks are a little easier to use because they don’t need a WiFi connection, which also makes them more portable. These clock cameras record to a memory card, so you can view what your camera saw later. This type of spy camera is ideal for situations that aren’t time sensitive where you need live video, but you still want to see what’s going on.

Top Selling Hidden Camera Clocks

Below you’ll find a couple of our most popular hidden camera clocks. These clock cameras are similar, but have some big differences. They are both suitable for both home and business use, so check out the cameras below for more info:

The  WiFi 12” Stylish Wall Clock Camera is a great live streaming hidden camera that can fit into both personal and professional settings. It features a dual power supply, so you can either opt for battery power for 7-8 hours of use, or plug into AC power for 24/7 operation. It functions as a regular wall clock, so no one will give it a second glance.

Another popular feature of the wall clock camera is its motion detection alerts, which you can set to notify you instantly of activity, so you can quickly pull up your camera feed to see what's going on.

The  WiFi Streaming Multifunction Clock Hidden Camera is a device packed with features. In addition to live streaming video, this device also features a built in bluetooth speaker, a Qi wireless charging pad on top, as well as night vision, so you can see in the dark, even if the lights are out. 

The multifunction clock camera also has motion detection alerts, and records video to a memory card for later viewing. It’s no wonder why the HC355w is our top selling hidden camera clock.

As you can see, either one of these clock cameras would make a great solution for both home or corporate surveillance situations.
