A very clever and powerful device backed up by an impressive
app that allows you full control at the touch of the screen. This arrived in a
neat little box with everything you need to get it up and running including a
16GB micro SD card, this will take a 32GB card but as it has loop recording I
have decided to stay with the 16GB card not feeling I will need to store a
whole 32GB of recording.
The manual is glossy and very comprehensive unlike some
which are no more than photocopies, it walks you through the setup with
illustrations highlighted with corresponding functions and features, the manual
gives you a QR code for both Android and iOS which takes you directly to the
application if you have and use a QR scanner on your mobile device and if not a
search in the relevant store for iMiniCam will find it.
After inserting the micro SD card and putting one of the
facia covers on (it comes with four although personally I do not see any need
to remove this again unless it becomes damaged) I installed the iMiniCam
application then set it up on a WiFi connection following the instructions and
formatted the micro SD card via the WiFi connection using the app, a very simple
process. I gave the camera a good test and adjusted the settings via the app
testing the features such as motion detection which worked very well.
I set the power bank spy camera up so I could view it
anywhere through my phone (iPhone 6) using the add new online camera in the app
which again was a very simple process clearly explained in the manual, to test
this I switched the WiFi connection off on my phone and used mobile data and
this worked flawlessly giving great picture quality and also having the ability
to change a multitude of settings from the other side of the world if you have
an internet connection and want/need to.
I have recorded a video showing a short recording using the
camera and will also add some pictures, please be aware the video quality often
degrades considerable when uploaded.

want to be extremely picky and it is really picky the sleeve on the box was
very tight and I had to cut it to open the box.
Summary
**********
This is a very clever device that gives great quality covert
pictures and video, has a very professional application giving you full control
and the ability to record footage, be notified if it detects movement and so
much more, this is the reason it gets five stars from me. If you have any questions please feel free to
