==Description==
A hidden camera can be [[Wired communication|wired]] or [[wireless]]. Hidden cameras are connected, by cable or wirelessly, to a viewing or recording device, such as a [[television]], [[computer]], [[videocassette recorder]], [[network video recorder]], [[digital video recorder]], [[memory card]], or another data storage medium. They may also store their images or recordings online, such as through a [[Livestreaming|livestream]]. Hidden video cameras may or may not have audio recording capabilities. Hidden cameras may be activated manually, remotely, or through motion detection.

A hidden camera may not be visible to the subject, for example, because it is fitted with a [[long-focus lens]] and located beyond the view of the subject, or because it is obscured or hidden by an object, such as a [[one-way mirror]]. Hidden cameras can be built into a wide variety of items, ranging from electronics ([[television set]]s, [[smoke detector]]s, [[clock]]s, [[motion detector]]s, [[mobile phone]]s, [[personal computer]]s) to everyday objects where electronics are not expected to be found ([[stationery]], [[plant]]s, [[glasses]], [[clothing]], [[street light]]s<ref name="qz">{{cite news |last1=Rohrlich |first1=Justin |last2=Gershgorn |first2=Dave |date=November 9, 2018 |title=The DEA and ICE are hiding surveillance cameras in streetlights |publisher=[[Quartz (publication)|Quartz]] |url=https://qz.com/1458475/the-dea-and-ice-are-hiding-surveillance-cameras-in-streetlights/ |access-date=November 12, 2018 |archive-date=November 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181112223618/https://qz.com/1458475/the-dea-and-ice-are-hiding-surveillance-cameras-in-streetlights/ |url-status=live }}</ref>).
