Corprit Power Bank Wireless Hidden Spy Camera

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.

MATECam Hidden Camera 1080P Mini SPY U-DISK

This is a very nifty little gadget that is indistinguishable from a normal USB Flash Drive, it comes in a little white box with a flip top lid, 16gig USB card with the option I chose (£32.95 at the time of purchase).

The unit is nice and lightweight, made of a matt black smooth plastic very similar to the type/style used with games console controllers, the front are the camera lens is concealed behind is mirrored, I presume the same technology used in two way mirrors. There is a small plastic button on the opposite side of the card reader slot which controls the unit.

The unit also comes with a little key chain carrying ring and a manual, the manual is fairly simple to follow, to turn it on you hold the button for three seconds and then to start recording you hold the button for a second and a little blue LED flashes three time to indicate you are recording then goes off, a short press stops the recording and after a blue light flashes a red LED indicates it has stopped. For taking a photo it is a quick press on the button.

One thing not very clear in the manual but none the less fairly simple to do is setting the date and time stamp on the unit, when hooked up to your PC to read the contents there is a text file called “TIME” you can open that in notepad or whatever basic text file reader you use, edit the time and date then save it again.

It was time to give it a test, I tried to record a variety of different things to show the record quality of video and audio and was very pleased with the results and have added a very short video to show this, please be aware video quality degrades considerably when uploaded.
