Board Cameras
are basically a fixed lens mounted on a circuit board. These cameras
are often used in mini cameras, dome cameras and for making hidden
cameras but are also sold unpackaged, for mounting by the buyer.
Lenses in
these cameras are either of a full opened lens or pinhole in which the
opening of the lens is very small. Pinhole lens cameras are often
called "spy" cameras and are most often used in making hidden cameras.
All of our hidden cameras are examples of hidden board cameras.
Lenses
in board cameras are pre-mounted and have a fixed iris. In most cases
they have a short focal length (the distance between the surface of the
lens and it's focal point) which results in a wide angle of view. Our
board cameras have a lens between 3.6 and 6mm.
Because board cameras
have some many fixed features they are limited to what they can be used
for. However, they offer a low cost solution to security needs
especially hidden camera situations.
