Board Cameras

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 installation by the buyer.

The 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 which results in a wide angle of view. Our board cameras have wide angle lenses between 3.6 and 6mm.

Because board cameras have many fixed features there are limits to their uses. However, they offer a low cost solution to security needs, especially when a hidden camera is required.
