The smaller the security camera, the more options you have for hiding it.
Often, security cameras display a flashing light that indicates they are turned on and working. This flashing light can be frustrating for people who're trying to keep the location of their camera hidden. An example of such a situation would be if you're using a hidden security camera to spy on your nanny while she babysits your children. There are several different options to hide the lights on your security camera.
Instructions
1. Cut a small piece of duct tape with your scissors and place it over the light on the camera. Usually one piece will block out the light, but it fails to block out the light completely. You can apply additional pieces until it does.
2. Find a creative place to hide your camera that will also block out the light. You can hide it behind a light switch panel, inside a toy, or inside a hollowed-out book. Be sure the opening is barely big enough for the camera lens so any lights from the camera won't be visible.
3. Wrap the security camera in an opaque material that won't let the light through. A few examples include aluminum foil, heavy cloths or thick rubber bands. You won't need to wrap your entire camera, just the part with the light.
4. Apply black epoxy putty over the light. Start with a pea-sized amount of the putty and roll it around in your hands until it forms a ball. Press the putty ball over the light on the camera. If the putty doesn't fully cover the light or fails to completely block it out, try using another pea-sized ball. Continue applying putty in this manner until you reach your desired outcome. Set the camera aside and allow it to dry for three to five hours.
