Hello all,
I need to find a way to Hide Wyze CAM V2 so it is totally invisible but i am not creative enough to figure out a way to do this. I search online in ebay and amazon and only 1 or 2 options came up but none that seem to be good enough. I did check SPY CAM online but all are silly goofy options that does not work as good as Wyze Cam and give me that warm fuzzy feelings. so the question is 1- How do you hide Wyze Cam V2?
Please advise
Thanks

The issue i have is if someone stand in front of it would they see the cam? i need it to be completely invisible so no sign of cam. i been searching online for few days on and off.
I donât think youâll find anything to make it completely invisible since the lens and IR lights need to be exposed to work. If you donât need night vision using IR you might be able to create something with a two-way mirror or something similar that the camera can see through but someone from the front canât see the camera.
To truly be that invisible would be very tough. If you donât need the IR, then you could get it down to about a half inch hold (maybe a little less) for the lens. Other than that, WildBillâs suggestion about a 2 way mirror is about it.
Hello Where do i find two-way mirror in small size and IR and Night Vision is disabled on my cameras so i donât need it
I could buy one of these cases and add 2 way mirror
Just not sure how to get 2 way mirror in small size i am not a creative side and i dont have the skills to build or make something so for people like pre made stuff works lol
I donât really know - never had a need to know such. Go find a glass shop and talk to them. They likely have some ideas.
You may already know this but others who read this thread might not:
It is illegal to record people in places where they have an expectation of privacy. Many places also make it illegal to record people without their knowledge. This includes within your own home if the people are unaware.
In some places they also require signage if you are recording a public space but YMMV.
Just something to be aware of before you go down this path or share any recordings.
If I recall correctly, one-way silver film material can be purchased online but any material like that will result in some light loss so youâll need to be aware of that.
Paint the case black, put the camera in an empty beer or soft drink can, with its top opened, run the cable out the other end.
I live in California, our mail get stolen every other week. I get good pictures, but the cops are not interested. Good thing that the Supreme Court just ruled against Californiaâs anti gun law.
lol. As you probably already know, you canât use lethal force to protect property in the State of California. Well, you can but youâll be paying for the harm you cause.
However, I donât see any problem with hosing them down. Do you think you could get ahold of some of that stink-spray they use? Maybe paintball their car?
In all seriousness, have you tried contacting the US Postal Inspectors? Even having your local Postmaster hold your mail at the post office for a week or two. Also, signing up for Informed Delivery is really helpful for keeping track of inbound mail.
As @RoboNaught suggested, mail theft is a federal crime under the auspices of the U.S.Postal Inspectors. Iâd try contacting them to file a complaint with your pictures. May not help but worth a try.
Depends on where and why you need to hide it. I havenât hidden mine. I like everything in plain sight. I even have 2 dead v2 in 2 windows in plain sight. Only I (and everyone who is reading this) know theyâre dead (repurpose instead of trashing). For me in plain sight is a deterrent or a prevention tool. If you can see it, it can see you, you less likely to do something.
Are you hiding it inside or outside? What room? You might get away with a fake potted plant or a picture frame. Think of the roomâs decor. Think out of the box.
Outside is good, always plenty of things to hide within or around. Wood pile (or fake wood pile), fake potted plant, dog house, under the grill, unused garbage can, kidâs playset or play house, birdâs nest, or hot glue fake stems/stick to it and hide among a real birdâs nest, in a tree (consider leaf growth), under a deck/patio.
Go to Michaelâs or Hobby Lobby and see what you can find for cheap (yeah I know itâs Michaelâs) to camouflage it.
File a report with Postal Inspectors. They are the detective division of the postal police. Not kidding. They are interested.
This is not your specific problem, but I have had mail issues as well.
In my experience, the USPS did not care.
I went in to USPS to complain about receiving opened mail. Packages/envelopes that were ripped and emptied before I received them. The non-union supervisor told me that postal employee are adept at identifying items with jewelry, cash, and items that are are insured for a high value. He said they take the envelopes, hold them under the conveyor belts, rip out what feels like a necklace/ring/cash/etc. and return it to the belt. He told me there is nothing the supervisors can to about it and suggested I triple envelope/box items and not get insurance on anything or use UPS.
Itâs good information but damn not something I really wanted to know.
But hereâs the thing. You canât get away with that crime forever unless people donât complain. If people complain to USPS Inspectors General about mail theft itâs easy enough for them to start to spot a trend. If you want to have a shot of catching them, you gotta complain.
So to recap: (a) I believe mail theft absolutely happens and that a postal employee who only âdabblesâ in theft is probably going to get away with it but (b) most canât dabble, they get greedy and (c) that letâs investigators spot trends (if people report the theft) and have a chance of catching the thieves.
Iâm not saying your local office will help you, they may be completely corrupt but you file a report directly with the Postal Inspectors, every time, and if enough people complain, itâs easy for them to fill their arrest quotas.
Happy mailing.
Several years ago, a guy was stealing mail from my neighbor. The neighbor gave chase and was shooting at him as he passed our home. The bad guy did not turn fast enough on a curve and end up upside down, smashed under the car with hundreds of pieces of mail on the ground. One less bad guy. He didnât even have a green card the police said. The cops were unable to pin it on my neighbor since none of the neighbors âsaw nothing, knew nothingâ. We get our mail robbed every three weeks. With thousand of people a day, coming across the California boarder. They have to rob so they can get by. We vote for it. It is nice that we now can take pictures of them stealing, it would be helpful if the cameras could automatic zoom in on their plates so we could visit them where they live. Ps. My neighbor says that he will help.
