Board Camera

A board Camera is basically the bare minimum camera -- a lens mounted on a circuit board. Board cameras are used in making mini cameras, spy cameras, dome cameras and hidden cameras . They can come already packaged in one of these small cameras or they are available unpackaged so that the purchaser can mount them in a concealed object or location.

They are small enough to easily be concealed inside small items such as alarm clocks, smoke detectors, wall clocks or well ....anywhere you need one to be. The lenses in board cameras are pre-mounted and have a fixed iris. This means that they only have one field of view (either normal, wide angle, or telephoto). Even though a fixed iris limits it's use, a board camera can provide a very effective and low cost solution in certain situations, especially inside a home.
