Mini security cameras are small, unobtrusive devices that allow people to monitor an area secretly.

One type of mini security camera is a board camera, which is a circuit board with a small camera fixed and mounted on it. The cameras may come pre-mounted in a small case or a small dome, but may also be sold unmounted, letting the purchaser put the mini security camera in anything he or she wants. Unmounted board cameras can usually be found mounted in smoke detectors, and are favored by homeowners, particularly those with nannies. While mini security cameras have a limited field and range of vision, they are nonetheless very useful if positioned cleverly.

Mini security cameras may be battery powered, but this makes these cameras unsuitable for long-term monitoring. While motion sensors can be used with mini security cameras to extend their battery life, most of them can last about eight hours before needing a fresh nine-volt battery.

Critics of mini security cameras claim that their use can lead to an invasion of privacy and a loss of civil rights. However, the laws regarding mini security camera abuse are still unclear.
