The camera recorded about 20 people a day calling at Francis Nisbet's home to buy heroin.
The surveillance operation had set up by a private investigator working for Nisbet's landlords, the Knightstone Housing Association, after neighbours complained about his drug dealing.
Police were later told of what the hidden CCTV footage was revealing and moved in to arrest Nisbet after 20 further days of observation showed officers that he was indeed selling drugs every day from his home.
At Gloucester crown court Nisbet, 32, of Buddleia court, Wisteria Way, Churchdown, Gloucester, was jailed for three years seven months after he admitted having heroin with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of the drug and possessing cannabis.
