Can the USB Spy Camera be also used to store other files like a normal flash drive memory stick?

Although there is no actual internal storage on the USB itself, if you have an SD card inserted then yes, it would be possible to store data on the device as such.

Has the device got overwrite recording facility?

No, this unit can only be put into motion detection or straight manual recording modes.

Can the USB Spy Camera record just audio files?

No, it is specifically designed for HD video (with audio) only. If you want a pure audio recording device then please see our Voice Recorders section.

How do I know if the subject that I am recording is in view?

The camera lens used, although only a pinhole, has a fairly wide angle lens which means that simply facing the subject will enable you to capture within the frame. It also has a swivel lens to assist in getting the right view, so this will also help.

Is the footage taken by the camera good enough to identify somebody?

Absolutely, the imagery is in high definition and is easily clear enough to identify somebody when they are near to the camera when the footage was obtained.

I have seen cameras before claiming to be HD. Is this for real or just upscaled lower quality imagery?

The video footage is not upscaled on this device. The video on this unit plays back in clear 720p HD format.

Some similar camera units record audio, but these will only pick up normal level speech up to a metre away. Is this device the same?

Certainly not. As much attention has been given to the quality of the audio and you should expect the microphone to pick up on normal speech up to 6 metres away.

You will need to consider the following to use this equipment:

• Although we supply a 16 GB micro SD card with this device as standard, you may wish to upgrade to a larger capacity micro SD card (selectable from the drop-down menu).
• You will need a computer with speakers attached if wishing to playback recordings with the audio on your PC or Laptop.
• You will need a media player on the computer for playback of video / audio files. It maybe worthwhile downloading a free media player. We use VLC Media Player at Spy Equipment UK.
