Step 3. Start installing your webcam software
Step 4. Find a place to hide laptops and webcams, for example, under a bed or piece of furniture, or on a shelf
Make sure the webcam's field of view is optimal (if the camera is connected to the desktop, only hide this).
Step 5. Start recording

Advice
- You can use an iPod or some similar device, the important thing is that it is well hidden and the battery has a long life.
- Remember to turn off sleep mode. It would be unpleasant to set it to record for an hour and then find that the footage is only 5 minutes long, because sleep mode has put the computer to sleep.
- If you have a laptop with a built-in webcam, you can leave it open while registering. Turn down the brightness completely.
- Use your skills to make everything work best.
- Maybe ask your parents for help.
Warnings
- Hide everything you need well!
- If someone finds out that you are being watched, they may even take your laptop away from you.
