This type of pinhole CCTV camera is designed for low-profile security installations where a conventional camera would be visually prominent. The tiny lens can be integrated into an appropriate housing or monitoring device while the main recording equipment remains concealed within the installation. Depending on the model, features may include video recording, motion sensing, night vision, and digital storage. Applications include authorized monitoring of offices, entrances, service counters, and equipment rooms. Installation should always comply with privacy and surveillance laws.
