Part of our wider spy cameras and surveillance devices collection, the mini car security camera can help in many situations. This compact and discreet battery-powered CCTV camera with quick deployment capabilities and a full HD system has great night vision capability, making it perfect for in-car use or for monitoring the outside of a property through the glass. Whether you need to catch vandals or keep an eye on your surroundings, the mini car security camera offers a range of benefits to meet your surveillance needs. This is partly why the device is one of our current top 10 spy shop products.
Full HD Video – Handy Portable Solution
This portable CCTV camera solution combines a 1080p high definition, extra wide, angled view micro-sized camera with a high capacity micro SD DVR recording system, all packed into a small black plastic enclosure that easily fits in your hand. What makes this discreet security camera unique from other hd black box wifi cameras is its low-power movement sensor second camera, that even works through glass.
The second hidden security camera detects movement within the lens view, but only draws low power. This ensures that the full high definition camera is only used when there is something happening in front of the camera, thereby enabling longer deployment times. This enables the internal rechargeable battery to be conserved, so that the system can essentially remain powered from the battery for up to an incredible 30 days (9 hours if set to straight record). If this is not sufficient, then there is also the option to permanently power the device from the mains supply or add an external battery pack.
Extra Wide Angle Lens – Time and Date Stamping
If you are concerned that spying with a pinhole camera will not effectively capture the environment that you wish to monitor, then the super-wide 120 degree camera capture area will certainly satisfy your requirements – this being far wider than you would normally expect from a standard pinhole camera product.
You can easily set up time and date stamping using the provided setup widget, ensuring that recorded video footage is dated. This feature is especially useful for evidential purposes when you need to reference the timing of events.
Auto-switching Low light – Comprehensive Setting Options
This portable hidden camera has an array of unique features including:
- Records colour 1080p high-definition video with audio
- Equipped with a ‘starlight’ sensor for clear recording in low-light conditions
- Includes a micro SD card recording DVR system (supports up to 256GB cards)
- Provides storage for up to 156 hours of recorded video footage in lower-grade video settings and 78 hours in high-quality video mode with a 256GB card
- Offers various recording modes and customisable settings
- User-friendly setup menu system for adjusting features to match your requirements
- Easy setup and deployment process
- Compact and portable design for discreet surveillance
- Once set up, each deployment is a matter of charge, switch on, deploy and walk away. It really is that simple to use our discreet security cameras
Motion Activation / Loop / Schedule Recording Modes
Choose between motion activation or continuous record modes. Select the maximum time for each file to 10, 15 or 20 minutes in length. The security camera system produces gapless video, so that nothing is missed between file saving and starting of the next recorded file. Alternatively, the camera can be put into ‘loop’ recording, a setting that is perfect when a smaller capacity micro SD card is used that could potentially be filled before the battery runs out. The ‘loop’ recording mode is also useful when connected to permanent power and footage only needs to be reviewed when an incident has occurred. This device is a perfect fit for Mystery Shoppers and Private Investigators, or anyone in need of a discreet spy camera solution tailored for covert video recording.
Various Deployment Possibilities – Simple to Playback Footage
The second camera motion activation system is perfect for in-vehicle monitoring through glass, making it great for preventing vandalism or when you want to use the vehicle as a video surveillance base. Alternatively, it can be used for surveillance of the outside environment, again through the glass where other cameras would fail. This compact and clever security camera device can also be used for monitoring within the home, office or maybe caravan. Playback of recorded video and audio through a computer requires no specialist software, as it’s compatible with the built-in media players on both Mac and Windows computers.
