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.
