HD (BNC) Pinhole camera

This mini pinhole security camera is a professional hidden camera with very high image quality and an extremely compact pinhole lens. The discreet design allows the camera to be installed virtually invisibly into ceilings, panels or objects, leaving only the tip of the lens visible. This makes this model suitable for situations where a standard security camera is too noticeable or simply does not fit.

The camera is designed for fixed installations with reliable wired connection. Thanks to its high light sensitivity, the pinhole camera can also provide usable images in very little ambient light, without visible infrared LEDs. This means that operation remains completely discreet, even in the evening or in rooms with dim lighting.

Connect and use

The pinhole camera is powered via the included 12V adapter and has an analogue video output (CVBS) and audio support via the integrated microphone. This allows the camera to be connected directly to a DVR recorder, monitor or a portable recorder with a suitable AV input. This is a practical solution when you want a stable and interference-free connection, without being dependent on WiFi or apps.

Day and night performance without IR

When ambient light decreases, the camera automatically switches to a mode better suited to low light levels. Instead of infrared lighting (which can sometimes be visible), the camera amplifies the residual light present. This allows the camera to remain unobtrusive and yet usable in situations such as emergency lighting, street lighting or indirect light in a room.

For whom and which applications?

This pinhole camera is suitable for entrepreneurs, store managers, security installers and organizations that want to apply discreet image registration at fixed locations. Due to its compact size and neat installation options, this model is often chosen for monitoring at payment points, in vehicles or at access doors, but also for technical monitoring in workshops or industrial environments.

Common applications:

– Checkout areas and payment counters
– Jewelers and high-end retail
– Taxis, buses and service vehicles
– Access doors, entrances and access control
– Technical areas, machines and processes
– Offices, warehouses and archive spaces

Installation in brief

For installation, a small hole is usually made for the lens opening. The camera housing can then be placed completely behind ceiling plates, panels, housings or objects. Provide a neat cable route to the recorder/monitor and a 12V power point for the power supply. For a stable result, it is important to keep the lens opening clear and to fix the camera firmly so that the viewing angle does not shift.
