I've just bought a motion sensitive security camera from Maplins.
I want to have it monitoring a hallway which is constantly lit.
But how can I hide it so a burglar doesnt steal it?
A net of some kind over the lens hole?

Without knowing the hallway, it's not easy for anyone else to
answer. You could perhaps fit a doorbell with the guts stripped
out to make room for it inside the case.
However, if the aim is covert security, you can't necessarily
do that. What you could do is hide the real camera, and fit
a dummy camera so people know they're under surveillance.
Position the dummy so that anyone tampering with it is in
good view of the real camera. Depending on the nature of the
area, you may need warning notices and to register with the DPR.

the hall is inside my house,
i am the only occupier,
so i can put it where i want cant i?
it wont overlook any public area.

Why not be pro active rather than reactive ?

Why not install some sound bombs. I've just put 8 quad sound bombs in my
extension triggered by a PIR I have customised. Believe me, when they go
off, it hurts INSIDE your head, forget the ears. The idea is that the
burglar would just rather be anywhere else other than there.
