Trading Terms

In the interests of customer satisfaction and discretion, not all product images are depicted exactly as shown in our Hidden Camera website and for good reason.  If you hyave any doubts about exactly what you are ordering, we are mnore than happy to photograph the product and either text or email that picture to you for confirmation. Features and functions will be correct however, in some instances the manufacturer will slightly alter the product design or appearance or add more functions. In this regard whilst we endeavour to display or advertise each device as close to the original as possible, there may be subtle changes. In the interests of most customers, often we do NOT reveal the actual product photo but rather one that closely resembles the original.  This does not apply to all products so do call if you have any order concerns.  Spy cameras can be hidden in any household item or appliance so often it's counter productive to advertise the exact product concealing the camera. For that reason there may be slight alterations to product images and size as well. We do our best to ensure that our products can be used for their intended design and purpose but the camera ought to be treated first and foremost as a covert camera, not as an actual fully functional device.

Most WiFi clock spy cameras will function as a normal desk clock whereas other devices such as WiFi smoke alarms, WiFi Dummy Routers, WiFi AC adapters, WiFi alarm sensor cameras, powerbank hidden cameras etc have been modified and as such cannot be used for any purpose other than a hidden camera. Many cameras are battery powered whilst others are 5V powered with or without batteries.  Please note Hidden Camera Surveillance does not warrant battery charge and discharge levels. Batteries are NOT a warranty item.

In most spy cameras devices, various circuits don't exist and therefore can't be used for casing design purpose. Often such circuits are pre removed to accommodate the concealed spy camera. The camera lens and audio microphone is often no larger than a pinhole (some are larger) so in terms of video resolution and audio quality, this needs to be taken into consideration. Whilst an advertised HD resolution camera will record in high quality, a pinhole lens does not have the same quality as a large CCTV lens.  Consequently this may affect recording resolution as there can be a trade of in terms of camera lens and microphone often hidden.  Customers outght to e realistic.  Hidden cameras do not necessarily produce broadcast quality due to the lens size and how the camera is used.  Hidden cameras should not be covered and remain ventilated.  Hidden Camera are not weatherproof so any damage caused by misuse, moisture or water etc is not considered warranty.  

Camera lenses can be concealed behind reflective glass and to the untrained eye, would not be seen however, it's fundamentally important to understand that spy camera detectors can reveal hidden cameras and/or wireless transmissions. Any hidden camera discovered accidentally or intentionally by others is not warranty we Hidden Camera Surveillance takes no responsibility for any potential ramification. If a covert spy camera is suspected of being hidden, some will be on a mission to locate it but we take no responsibility for anyone finding a hidden camera. If for any reason a customer is NOT happy with the hidden camera lens, in some cases we will exchange for another camera but at the customers expense including delivery costs. All packaging, accessories, user manuals etc must be returned intact and as new. DIY pinhole hidden cameras are easily concealed within devices that you perhaps already have available rather than introducing something new. The type of camera ordered and the camera location is the customers discretion and we take no responsibility for any adverse findings. Hidden cameras in most instances are very high resolution although not broadcast quality. The device you purchase is a hidden camera and needs to be treated as such so video quality is not a warranty issue. The same applies to night vision, where some cameras will have Infra red or No Glow IR but in night vision mode, IR will have an impact on recording quality. By night or low light in IR condition, recording distance is normally limited to no more than a few metres and the video will be B/W rather than colour. This is NOT a camera fault as IR can only record in B/W mode.

In many cases products are returned to us with claims that the product does not perform a specific task or the product is not up to a customers expectation.  It may be that the audio and/or video quality is not what the customer was expecting.  In some cases and particularly with WiFi Hidden Cameras, these devices need to be interfaced or connected to the customers WiFi.  As mentioned before, problems or issues with wireless devices is NOT a warranty issue.  Customers in some cases should engage the services of an IT professional to rectify the issue. We are more than willing to chat with your IT professional whilst onsite to offer any assistance.  If the customer insists on returning the device under warranty with claims that the device cannot be accessed remotely for whatever reason, we will test that device under the same WiFi and/or mobile network conditions.

Where any product is found to be faulty and under the warranty conditions, we will pay freight costs to return either a new or repaired product to you ASAP.  Please be aware there can be warranty delays but we will do our best to keep customers updated with progress.
