Exposed Camera Solutions

If discretion isn't a primary concern, exposed camera solutions offer more flexibility in placement and functionality.

One option is a wall-mounted camera. These are easy to install and can be positioned to capture the entire bathroom. Another option is a ceiling-mounted camera, which provides a bird's-eye view and is less obtrusive than a wall-mounted camera.
