These micro-wired Board Cameras are primarily of the pinhole type. This means the camera only requires a very small hole to see through, less than a 1/16" diameter hole. A smaller diameter hole than a standard pencil lead. We also offer a few board cameras with a "board lens". This type of lens does allow more light to come in and thus provides a slightly better picture, but a board lens does require about a 1/2" viewing hole.

With our Plug & Play cables you can extend the distance up to 150 feet between the camera and VCR or TV. Or, you can connect the pinhole board camera to a transmitter and turn it into a wireless camera. All our board cameras can operate on AC adapters or batteries.

The picture is the same regardless whether you select a flat pinhole lens or conical pinhole lens. The difference lies in the installation. Most people find it easier to install a conical lens in drywall or ceiling tile. The conical lens board requires less of a hole in the surface area of drywall or ceiling tile. By the same token, the flat lens is better when using it in something thin, such as a shirt or blouse. Both cameras only need a very small hole to see. The closer the pinhole lens is to the exterior surface of the material, the wider the field of view will be.
