How WiFi Cameras Work
WiFi Concepts
When you want to see what’s going on without someone seeing you, it may be time for a wireless WiFi Spy Camera. Do you need some form of proof, or evidence to highlight the truth about a certain situation. Maybe it’s time for a spy camera. Do you just want to record people without their knowledge of you doing so? That’s most likely illegal, but we will cover that.
This page is dedicated to spy cameras, but not just spy cameras, WIFI spy cameras. This is a bit of a contradiction, as WiFi requires a network within range of the camera. So really it is more of a hidden security camera than a ‘take everywhere and spy on this or that’ type of camera. Let’s be clear on that right now. At any rate, production of WiFi devices has increased dramatically and cameras are no exception.

Legal Issues of Spying
Got Consent?
There is a key work to revolve all this spy stuff around, and that word is “consent”. When recording someone on video away from your home it most likely is illegal if there is a understanding that the setting is private. In a busy cafe it is understood that it is not a private setting and conversations are not private. But recording others from a secret camera is infringing on their right to privacy. Be conscious of the laws in the area and at least be respectful. There are laws in all 50 states and they do vary so study up if you are using a camera for anything.
