This mini camera comes with a waterproof casing that allows you to take it out in the rain, at the beach, or even when you go swimming. The miniature 1 cubic inch size also makes it extremely portable. The SS 1080P HD Mini waterproof Camera is more of a sports camera. However, because of its size, you can easily record without it being seen, making it a great spy camera as well. The added durability and waterproof feature means you can bring it almost anywhere. If left to continuously record, the device can last up to 100 mins. But, with the motion detection mode enabled, it could record even weeks, depending on how often it turns on.

The built-in motion sensors allow the camera to turn on automatically whenever it detects any movement. This saves a lot of battery time and a lot of storage space as well since there won’t be hours of still video files. The camera lens has a wide 150 angle. That wide angle along with the infrared lights for night vision mode, enables the camera to record 1080p videos even in low light settings.

This is round mini camera that is built specifically for home surveillance purposes. This device actually offers a ton of features, including night vision mode, 2-way audio, motion detection sensors, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Through the YOOSEE App, homeowners can actually see a live video streaming feedback from the camera. You can access the app via your smartphone or tablet device. The video quality on the device is decent, and captures in 960p HD video. The 180 panoramic view angle covers a large area. The video quality is often presented in a high contrast level. Even in low light conditions, it is able to record great videos. At night, the camera relies on the 8 IR night vision lenses set on the camera. The night vision made can support up to 10 m in distance when recording.

This is a colorful mini camera device that has a sleek cubic design. The camera definitely has a nice appeal, with the multiple color options and the little rainbow accent that runs from one end to another. Aside from the looks, this device also offers good functionality. It offers 1080p video recording with a 150 degree lens. Although the video quality of this device isn’t the best in this list, it is able to deliver clear and high color recordings. The files are automatically stored into the inserted TF card. It is also able to support TF cards up to 32 GB capacity.

In night vision mode, the camera is also able to capture good videos. While facial features and text are not as clearly seen, other details are clear enough. The device also has motion sensors which can be activated when you set the camera to motion recording mode. This mode allows the device to record only when it has detected movement in the area. This can be extremely useful for when you need to conserve battery life. While it is capable of going around an hour and a half continuously recording videos, it can last up to a week if on the motion recording mode. Another alternative is to leave the device plugged into an outlet to allow for continuous loop recording.

This miniature camera is jam packed with features that make it a great home surveillance system. Its small 1” x 1” size makes it really easy to hide in a corner at home while the night vision mode on the camera provides high quality videos even at night. The package comes with a short but detailed instruction manual to guide you through setting up, using, and even troubleshooting. To set the camera in place, a clip-on bracket is provided. The small box just fits into the bracket and you can easily place it on to most surfaces to secure your vantage point. The bracket is quite adjustable so you’ll be able to get the best view.

Unfortunately, the device doesn’t have any connectivity functions and the only way to retrieve video files is to manually connect the device with a USB cable to your PC, and then copy the files directly. That means there is no live viewing of any video recording. The USB cable also doubles as a charging cable. Another way to get the files is through removing the SD card. The device can handle memory cards that hold between 8 GB to 32 GB memory.

When using the camera, turning it on and off is as easy as pressing a button. However, you’ll need to keep an eye on the LED light, which turns blue when the device is on. Turning it on doesn’t automatically start video recording. You have to press the power button on again to start recording. The blue LED light turns off when recording, which is great since it keeps it hidden. But this makes it a bit difficult to tell whether the device is actually recording. If plugged in, the camera should be able to record 24/7, automatically deleting the oldest files to make room for new videos. If it relies solely on the battery life, the camera is able to last up to a full hour if recording videos continuously. This mini camera offers great value despite its size.

This Smart Home Security Camera is not a full home surveillance package. Instead, it offers a great way to check who is at the door, whether you are at home or not. This can either be set up as a wired or wireless camera that should be connected to your home’s Wi-Fi connection, in order to give access to the camera’s video feed. Real-time viewing is possible just by opening the app through your handheld device. You can connect up to 4 devices, making it extremely easy to share the video feed with other people in your household.

There are 3 main ways to use the app. First is at random; basically, you just open the app and see what is going on. In this situation, you manually wake up the doorbell camera. Another way to use it is when there is motion detected fronting your door. At this time, you’ll get an alert and know that there is either someone coming to visit or snooping around your area. The last method is when someone rings the integrated doorbell on the device. When this happens, you’ll receive a call on your phone via the app; upon answering, you’ll be met with a view of the doorbell ringer, and be on a live call with them. The built-in mic and speaker on the device allow for 2-way communication. Since they won’t be able to see you, they won’t even know that you aren’t in the home.

The Remobell Doorbell Camera is a slim doorbell device that relies on existing wiring. Installation can be a bit difficult and requires some technical skill. But, if your existing doorbell is already wired, you should be able to easily replace it with the Remobell. A good thing about this device is that, despite its very slim design, it is able to provide 2-way audio, high quality videos, and has built-in motion sensors. You can connect this to the Wi-Fi when you set it up so that you can access the videos through your phone via the Remo+ App. Using the app takes a bit of getting used to as the UI is not the friendliest. However, you are able to talk to the people outside your door from your phone and also see them real time.

Free cloud storage that stores videos up to 3 days old is also included with the purchase of this app. If you want more storage, you can opt for a subscription with the developer. Other great things about the connectivity is that it syncs well with smart home devices, such as Alexa, and also allows most of the people in your household to access the app and watch  live video feedback easily. The doorbell is fairly weather resistant and can operate well in most temperatures.

Packed with most of the features that you would find in other doorbell cameras, the MECO doorbell camera, offers high quality 1080p HD video resolution, added night vision to give clear videos even in the dark, and a large built-in storage capacity that should be able to carry recorded videos spanning up to 9 months. Aside from this, the device is also weatherproofed.

The video files can be accessed directly via the built-in SD card or through the Cloudedge app, which you can use to connect the doorbell camera to your phone with the use of your Home Wi-Fi connection. With the app, up to 5 people can view the area. You can also use the app to communicate and use the device as an intercom.

On the other hand, if you aren’t available to talk, you can set a pre-recorded message to play when someone rings the doorbell or triggers the motion sensors. On an added note, the motion sensors are actually adjustable to either high or low triggers. The same goes with the doorbell volume which can be set at 3 different levels, depending on your preference.

While the first 7 days of using the app storage is free, you’ll have to get a subscription or end up having to extract the files manually from the memory card in the camera. However, you will still be able to make use of the real-time video feed and the 2-way audio calls.

This doorbell camera gives you a choice for style with changeable faceplates. You can choose from either satin black, satin silver, or Venetian bronze - whichever is the best fit for your doorway. Aside from the fancy faceplates, the product itself is fairly durable, with an IP65 waterproof rating and durable metal composition. On initial observation, the camera looks strong. The installation of the doorbell camera requires a few tools, but most are already included in the package. Since you need to screw it in, it makes it less susceptible to theft. If someone does try to steal the product from your front door, the device recognizes the act and sends you a snapshot to alert you.

Like the other products in this list, the camera is made to send multiple alerts and notifications whenever motion is detected. However, instead of regular motion sensors, the RCA doorbell camera relies on thermal sensors that are made to detect human movements specifically. This lessens the likelihood of you receiving alerts from swaying branches or moving cars.

The video camera comes with 16 GB memory card. But, it also offers Wi-Fi connectivity. You need to download the existing app and sync it to your smartphone or tablet. The app is easy to use and you can set it to send you alerts and push notifications whenever there is someone at your door.

You can also pre-record a voice message to answer visitors when you are not at home or too busy to use the 2-way audio communication that the device allows. All-in-all, this camera provides many of the same features as the others. What makes it stand out though is that the day and night video quality is one of the best in this list. The 3MP lens is able to take higher quality images and videos than most of the other video doorbell cameras.

The Mbuynow doorbell camera is a sleek addition to your front door. It is available in a gold color that looks really good. The device is packed with many features including a night vision mode, 2-way audio communication function, adjustable volumes, Wi-Fi connectivity, and real time access through the Ubell App. By simply syncing your phone and the doorbell camera to the device, you can easily view the live videos from the camera and speak into your phone; the audio is relayed by the built-in speakers on the doorbell camera. As a doorbell, it also packs powerful audio and a choice between 52 different doorbell chimes. The device also comes with a 2 year warranty.

One of the most affordable in the market is this simple doorbell camera that offers almost all of the features you would look for in a typical doorbell camera - motion detection, Wi-Fi connectivity, wireless installation, and a 1080p lens that is capable of capturing HD surveillance videos. For the price of the product, it offers a lot. Unfortunately, one of the main problems is that it is not made of a waterproof material so you have to install it in a covered area that is not likely to get wet when it’s raining. If you have a covered front porch, this should be no problem.

The device is also very easy to install. There are 2 ways to put it up. First, is to secure it on to the wall with screws while the second option is to just stick it on with the use of 3-ply adhesives. Obviously, the first option is more secure but, if you don’t want to drill any holes into your door frame or wall, the second option should suffice.

When you have it installed, you need to place batteries and then connect it to your home Wi-Fi so you can easily access it through the app. The installation and syncing is easy. The device also only needs regular AA batteries. You can get 2 rechargeable pairs so you can just swap them out and have a fully charged pair on hand so the camera doesn’t have to be off. The batteries are expected to power the device for at least a full month.

This USB charger device is one of the easiest to set up. Plug it in and you can connect it to your smartphone through a mobile app and Wi-Fi network so you can now have live video access to the camera. However, the app only allows the viewing of live videos but does not store any files on its cloud. Instead, you will need to manually connect to the memory card where the device continually stores your recorded videos. If you don’t have to check on any old video recordings, you can easily leave the memory card in the device since there is no need to delete any files - it does that for you.

The camera can actually automatically overwrite the oldest files in storage. However, if you put in a 128 GB memory card, which is the maximum capacity it can support, it will probably be long before it uses up the storage. Also, you can secure your recorded files with the password protection feature.

Placing it on motion detection mode activates the motion sensors and also allows you to maximize the storage space by only setting the device to record when movement is detected. The app will send over any notifications when there is movement in the area. This feature is adjustable. Motion sensors are reliable and capable of detecting movement several feet away. The actual video quality is also really good, with 1080p Full HD video recordings set with great audio quality. However, the audio can get a bit muffled at times. The exterior of the device is a simple square block design that is common in most USB chargers. It has an indicator light which you can actually toggle on or off with the mobile app.

One drawback to the device is that it does not offer night mode recording. Instead, it provides a low light setting which, although is able to capture decent quality in low light settings, is still not as effective as the night vision mode offered in other devices. In proper lighting, video quality is great.

This fully functional USB charger works as a hidden camera. Right out of the box, it looks like a regular USB charger with the typical charging wire. However, when you look at the bottom of the gadget, cleverly hidden under the removable front panel of the device is the memory card slot and a button to change between the modes of the device. It offers a motion detection mode, loop recording mode, and rest. When set to motion detection, your device relies on the motion sensors to start recording and only records when movement is detected within the area. Loop recording puts the camera on a continuous recording mode. While the motion detection mode allows you to store only videos where something is going on, the loop recording mode also comes with a feature where old videos are overwritten, allowing the device to continuously store the new recordings.

While most hidden cameras take the form of the USB charging block, this product takes an innovative approach and hides the camera in the charging cable. This spy gadget is disguised as a regular black USB charging cable. The barely noticeable lens is placed right at the USB end of the wire. The wire is extremely portable and functional and has a built-in 32 GB memory where videos are automatically stored into. To access your video files, you only need to plug it into your desktop.

Despite its compact design, the hidden camera is still able to provide good quality videos at full 1080p. It does not offer any audio recording feature. One of the difficulties you might encounter with this device is placement. Attaching it to a charger dock on a wall would cause the camera to face upwards. It's important that the wire be set upright in order for the camera to be able to capture a good angle. Some of the best places to use this would be on a charging dock at your office or desk.

This handy spy gadget allows you to charge your phone while recording the scene. Dually functional, this gadget holds a hidden camera on the front of the charger panel. The camera lens is hidden in a very small, unnoticeable dot on the cover of the charger. The charger itself seems very generic - much like a regular charger that you could buy at your local electronics store or cell shop. You can easily plug in any USB charging wire into the device and charge a smartphone, tablet, power bank; basically anything that you would charge with a regular USB charger.

The video recording capacity of this unit is great. You can expect to see clear video images, despite the minute peephole the camera lens is visible through. Unfortunately, this device does not support audio recording. It does, however, allow for Wi-Fi connectivity via the manufacturer’s mobile app. It is extremely easy to set up. After plugging in the device, you only need to download the app on your smartphone by scanning a code they provide on the product box. After successfully connecting with the app, which will take less than 5 minutes of your time, it actually sends you notifications of motion detection and allows you to check on the area every now and then with the live video feedback feature.

The low light mode on the device is not the greatest but it can still provide a decent level of image quality. Since there is no night vision mode feature available, the camera captures absolutely nothing in darker conditions. You can actually set the device and enable either motion detection or loop recording.

While this device externally looks like a regular phone charger, it actually has a removable front panel which hides its other function as a hidden spy camera. The great thing about this panel is that unlike other USB charger cameras that have a memory card slot or switch that can be found when someone actually picks it up, all those parts are covered up. This handy removable panel is an effective component to the gadget. Under it, you can find a micro SD card slot and a tiny switch to allow you to choose between L and M modes. L for Loop recording mode and M for Motion detection mode. While using loop recording will enable you to take continuous videos, this will also fill up your storage space with possibly hours of recording where nothing is going on. The motion detection mode is advised since it only starts recording when movement has been detected in the area.  The motion sensors on this device are quite reliable. It was able to detect movement up to 5 meters away.

Other great features of this product are the 1080P full HD video quality and the Wireless connectivity it offers. Connecting it to the app is easy since the hidden connection via Wi-Fi will pop up when you plug it in. The app allows you to access the live video feed on the camera. Even when you set it to motion detection mode, you can manually turn the device on from your phone. The app also allows you to see the recorded videos. But the camera still saves these recordings on the inserted memory card.

Unfortunately, this item is only able to support up to 32 GB memory cards. This limits the number of videos you can have saved on the device. However, it automatically overwrites the oldest files with new videos when there is no more storage space left.

This doorbell camera from Ring is a handy door viewer that can connect via Wi-Fi to your smartphone. All you need to do is download and access the mobile app and connect it to the device. Installing the device on your front door is simple but can be a bit technical since it involves a bit of wiring. There are detailed instructions that come with the package to guide you on setting it up. Depending on how tech savvy you are, the initial set up can range from being extremely easy to quite difficult. However, when you have it recording, you get great video feedback which you can access live from your phone. The motion sensors on the device, which have adjustable sensitivity, also alert you whenever motion is detected outside.

When there is movement, your phone gets alerted and the device starts taking the video. Video quality is decent at 720p. The camera offers great night vision mode that lets you see clear images even in the dark. But, since the lens isn’t adjustable, view can be quite limited. Also, the recorded videos are only accessible if you avail of the $3/month Cloud Storage on the app. This means that aside from watching videos live, you can’t see recorded videos without the subscription. In this way, it functions as a live camera door viewer instead of a recording device. Aside from those functions, the device also functions as an actual doorbell.

Another doorbell camera from Ring, this device offers most of the same features as the previous model. However, with this one, connection to Alexa is available and it offers higher quality video resolution. With recording saved in 1080p HD files. Installation is similar with the previous device, with wiring required. Instructions are sent out with the package to give you a bit of guidance. The device provides live video streaming, 2-way audio communication, and the same motion detection alerts on your phone via the Ring App.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is also capable of connecting to Wi-Fi. After setting the device to connect to your app, you can activate it automatically from your phone. Which means that you can easily see what is going on outside your door, wherever you are. If you have multiple Ring Video Camera devices, you can connect multiple gadgets to your app and switch views. The video quality and night vision mode is inherently better than the previous doorbell but that is understandable given the higher price point for this device. Ring also offers a lifetime warranty against theft for all their devices.

This camera is actually more of a mini-surveillance camera that you can install near your front door, instead of being an actual doorbell camera. But, with that technicality aside, this camera functions great as a surveillance camera for your home. You can either place it right beside or door or opt to have it installed in other areas you want to monitor. This product can be quite pricey since it is actually an add-on camera that works with the complete Arlo base station, made up of Hub and Echo devices. But, when you have it installed, it functions seamlessly.

The camera relies on a rechargeable battery that can last up to 6 months. Because the device only turns on when it detects movement, the actual product stays off for most of the time. You’ll need to be a bit careful of where you install the cameras because the motion sensors are likely to detect moving cars, causing the camera to turn on and record frequently. Since the device also sends motion alerts to your phone if you’ve synced them together with the mobile app, you might end up receiving frequent alerts every time a car drives by.

Installation, however, is very easy. Since it’s a wireless device, you only have to mount and charge it; then, it’s ready to go. The camera is contained in a durable white plastic encasement that protects it. It’s waterproof and can be left outside even during heavy rain.

This Smart Home Security Camera is not a full home surveillance package. Instead, it offers a great way to check who is at the door, whether you are at home or not.
