Spy Camera Wireless Hidden WiFi Camera

Here is the review in full:After unpacking the minicam package you should find-a brochure with basic instructions in pretty good English with the typical errors in syntax or language. -the camera cube which contains a microphone, IR LED (for night recording), Reset button in the upper left-hand corner (not shown well on the brochure photo) a micro USB slot, and a real USB slot which allows the camera cube to be disguised as a USB Charger.  4K, 2K, 1080P and 720 recording is supported and can be changed while recording. The color hue and brightness excellent and full fidelity, and the lens is wide angle.  Live recording and snapshots are supported.  The camera cube also has a well-hidden status light which gives information on the status of the camera and whether full charge of the plugged-in cell phone has been achieved.  The camera cube needs to be plugged into a wall outlet to work.  There is a QR Scan Code on the box the camera comes in to facilitate getting the camera recognized by a remote phone.  However, I just used the HD minicam application to get the camera recognized.  It came up on my network (DHCP is enabled automatically on the cube which gets an IP address from your router) without my intervention.  Then I clicked on ‘camera online’ and it was connected.  You can connect through a router or directly to the cube without a router use.  There is also a little gear icon for camera settings in the top right-hand corner of the camera display which allows you to Add Another Camera, Setup a Camera WIFI Connection or make a Direct Connection to the device WIFI (bypassing a router).   The camera IP address and 24-bit MAC address is shown, and this shows that the HD minicam uses an HTML port 80 for control.  Additionally, I found that I could save recordings or snapshots and bring them up into other programs like signing them with a security program prior to transmission.You can set a password and up to 8 remote users can control the camera.  The password allows a user to set up IP addressing, camera resolution, brightness and contrast, alerts and other parameters; recording times, clock settings, and the other options mentioned in this review.  Real time video can be displayed, but you must use the application to do so.  The camera is not waterproof, so use outdoors would have to be protected.   The microphone is on the back of the cube; the side which plugs into the wall socket.  It is very sensitive and could easily pickup conversations 30 feet away.  Don’t forget that continuous recording of video and audio is possible to the microSD card or to your own computer or cell phone, and you choose that option.  To bring up other options, tap your cell phone screen real time video or click on the real time video, and at the top and bottom of the screen two strips are displayed.  Also present on any of the video resolutions is a time stamp of the recording; date and time including seconds.  This is done using an automatic connection to an NTP server (exact time from the National Bureau of Standards atomic clock signals via the internet).  This feature is not discussed in the ‘manual’ which is a small sheet of paper folded 3 times.Tapping on the little box for the camera b rings up editing options: No Filter, Auto Color or Gray Scale.  Also, a Crop Box to aid editing images is supplied.-TOP STRIP has brightness, contrast, IR LED for recording in the dark, B&W or Color, GPU Decoding Select for accelerated hardware decoding, and resolution selection.  The video quality is terrific!  Try out all 4 resolutions.  Of course, the resultant size of the files will increase with increased resolution.   -BOTTOM STRIP Sound on or off, sound recording on or off, snapshot taking, video recording on or off, and position controls for picture, invert or transpose left or right for images.  Zooming of images is allowed on my Android phone, which is what I tested this on…a Galaxy Note 8.-a front plate which covers up the microSD card slot which further disguises the cube as a USB charger.-a USB 2.0/microSD adapter which allows you transfer the recorded contents of a microSD card if you don’t have a SD (secure digital) slot on your computer.  You put the microSD card into the slot of the adapter then format the card before using. The ‘user manual’ which is a small brochure giving good instructions in good English, for connecting the camera to your mobile device or your home WIFI, and other information.  You can connect directly to your mobile device (phone) or to your computer though your WIFI.  If you connect directly, be aware that the distance you can move and still be connected is limited.  Other users can monitor the same camera. You need the HD Minicam application for Apple or Android systems.  Directions on how to do this are in the brochure.  You can insert a microSD card into the camera for recording to the card. You will need a paperclip straightened out to use the reset button located on the top left side of the camera. While using the cube as a charger, it disables the camera unit.I think this would be an ideal covert device for law enforcement to plan

The setup instructions were maybe not so clear. You put in the micro SD card first, then plug it into the wall. The unit can format its own sd card. It DOES alert you clear across town and you can view and adjust the camera/ delete files remotely. Works perfectly for me. Has a flashing light on the front, but a little square of electrical tape fixed that. Now it watches my basement shop for kids / burglars.

This device kept surprising me in a good way. I really didn’t expect too much from this thing, but figured it would come in handy some time. It’s amazing how many people just overlook a USB charging plug since they are so common. The fact it can be viewed live over WiFi is amazing and the picture quality is incredible. The low light or night vision function was lacking but it made up for it everywhere else. The app LookCam is very easy to use but could possibly cause a security issue if you’re not careful. I now keep a camera and mic detector on me at all times and always assume that I am being recorded.It holds a 128GB TF card and has plenty of great options. It has most of the same options of larger P2P cameras. This will come in very handy in private security or private investigation but remember your state and countries laws on consent and recording. It is easily detectable by all anti-surveillance devices but not too many people actually use them. The 3 in 1 cable that comes with it is great also. If I ever see one of those cables or one like it I know what to look for.Setup was simple and it just plain works and it works incredibly well. I still can’t believe all the features this has and the quality is incredible. Please obey all laws when using this because it would be very easy to break several and not know it unless you know the law or enforce them! Please be careful and have fun!

Buen funcionamiento.

 Really like the design of this. We have wall and desk chargers all over our office so this fits right in. Using this to keep an eye on home office while we are out since we have a cleaning service, nanny, and the daughter has friends over. Alerts us immediately is motion is detected in our “no go” area. Good quality picture too. Pleased to have bought this.
