PennyCam – Security Camera hidden in a Take a Penny Leave a Penny container

11

 

This PennyCam is a great idea for catching crooks in the act. I guess the camera could be mounted in anything such as the corner of the cash register however mounting it in plain view disguised as something you expect to see. It is a bit expensive but one foiled robbery is all you need to make it worth while…

"I just completed my new hidden camera project called the "PennyCam" It is a security camera embedded inside of a custom counter mounted "Take-a-penny, Leave-a-penny" found in almost all convenience stores, liquor stores and gas stations. This camera shoots from below getting crystal clear video of those would-be criminals who wear hats and look down to avoid traditional security cameras."

Thanks Matt

  1. It’s a good idea to mount camera’s at counter level pointing up. The price is pretty high though.



  3. Anyone want to buy one and see if it can be defeated by IR LED’s?


  4. That’s a clever solution for the cctv problem… I’m curious how they’ve hidden the lens hole, it doesn’t look like it’s really visible at all via the pictures.


  5. What if the crook walks in wearing a balaclava?


  6. What is “take a penny, leave a penny”?


  7. So I take it the camera isn’t located in the base of the tray – the pennies would obscure the view of Mr burglar! 😉
    @Macka – I live in Britain, we dont have the ‘take a penny leave a penny’ scheme here, never heard of it, but I still understood what it was about!
