Hi, I moved recently and need a couple of small or hidden type of ip cams that will work with SS. Just don't want them to be seen on wall or ceiling. New place is too small to put up regular cams in rooms.

    For small unobtrusive cameras, you could look at Axis modular cameras or simply cameras with small form factors such as the Axis M10 or Hikvision DS-2CD2455FWD-IW.

    For this type of application, I recently purchased an Amcrest ASH21 "nanny cam". This is a minute PTZ 1080P cam that works with SS, although must be set up with a phone app (no web interface in cam like other Amcrest cameras). Still it is very inexpensive and works well. The only drawback is that the SS PTZ controls don't work, so the cam needs to be aimed ahead of time.

    Hi @mmatyas I'm surprised that SecuritySpy's PTZ controls don't work for this camera. Have you tried both the Amcrest profile and the ONVIF profile in SecuritySpy? Have you given SecuritySpy the camera's admin login credentials?
