At the top of the list is the WiFi Mini Camera, which has a multi-user connectivity feature that allows the device to connect to a few other handheld devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. These devices can actually access the camera at the same time. This is done through the WiFi-connected app which is one of the easiest to set up. Aside from allowing multiple users to see the camera feed, the device is also very flexible. It can be placed almost anywhere around the house while still remaining hidden well. The size and design also allow it to fit easily into pockets, and be carried around.

The camera allows for two power options: it can either rely on the 2000mAH battery pack or be plugged in directly to an outlet. With the latter option, the camera can work for a full 24 hours, making it a great home surveillance device which you can leave at home while you're away. Another feature of the device is that it can detect the slightest motion up to 6 meters away. This Motion Detection function incorporates a snapshot feature where the device takes three photos automatically when it senses movement around the house. This makes it really convenient for home safety monitoring. Unfortunately, there are cases when movement of random objects, such as a paper towel caught in the wind, are also detected; this can be a hassle. 

Overall, the camera can work well as a portable button camera for when you need to take videos or pictures. What's pleasing about the camera resolution is that you can see the video feed clearly because of its HD 1080P quality. Everything is stored within the inserted microSD card and can be replayed via the app or on another device if you're unable to monitor it by the day.

The WiseUp Button Mini Camcorder takes clear and bright videos as well as high quality images, which are captured in 1080P resolution, with videos captured at 30fps. The design of the device allows it be clipped in and fitted to pass through as a normal button in your pockets. The clever design of the camera makes it extremely easy to use for espionage. Aside from how the device can camouflage with your garments, the camera angles also has a wide range and can cover a large area providing a better view. 

The device has an external microSD card slot, as well as a micro USB port for easy connectivity. Accessing the videos and images on the device can be done either through connecting the device directly to a desktop or laptop computer or removing the memory card and using an adapter to connect the storage device and access the recorded filed. The micro USB port is also where the charging wire is connected to. Unfortunately, this device can only support up to 32GB micro SD card.  

The camera comes with a small remote controller which has four functioning buttons, the “A” button serves as the Power Button; the B button starts up video recording; the C button takes snapshots and is the camera button; lastly, the D button enables Motion Detection mode. When set to this mode, the camera automatically records when it senses movements.

The Relohas Mini Spy camera has several great features: high quality video resolution, night vision, motion detection, and app connectivity. One of the highlights of this camera is its night vision mode, which is not something you can find in all button cameras. This unit, however, houses invisible lamp beads. This means that while the camera is still able to capture videos and images in complete darkness, there is no light that emanates from the device, keeping it completely hidden. This, paired with the motion sensors integrated into the miniature camera, make this a great home surveillance camera.

The camera is meant to be connected to the ESmartLinkHome app. Downloading the app is easy since the QR code is provided with the package. When connected, which is a relatively easy process, the camera sends alert notifications to the app. It has a great multi-user function which allows other people to check on your home on their devices as well. Unfortunately, the live camera feed becomes laggy when there are too many people connected to the app. The camera still saves videos directly to the device and to the memory card inserted into the camera itself. 

Night vision mode automatically turns on in low to zero light conditions. It can also be enabled manually through the app. Night mode videos, however, are recorded in 720p quality, while regular images and videos in good lighting are set in 1080p quality. 

The device captures very clear video at 1080P HD resolution with either of the 2 lenses that come in the package. There is a built-in lens that is placed at the front of the device but an interchangeable lens that is set in a long, thin, and flexible extension can also be attached to one end of the device. It has a built-in rechargeable battery that can last up to 2 hours. However, the camera can also be directly plugged into an outlet or to a computer as a power source. This option allows the camera to run 24/7. 

The build and design of the camera is very compact and durable. It comes as a block with the buttons set at the side. Controlling the camera is quite easy with the 2 simple buttons on the device. It should also be connected to the LookCam mobile app, which is compatible with both iOS and Android. The app makes it easy to control the settings on the camera, and also allows users to enable the Motion Detection Smart Alarm which sends phone notifications to your device when movement is sensed.

The camera also relies on a motion detection mode to only record videos when motion is detected. This can function either in the day or at night since the camera has a relatively good night vision capability. Recorded videos can be viewed through the app directly. Live video feed can also be seen via the LookCam app. And since the app supports 4-camera viewing, you can connect multiple button cameras to your phone, giving you wide video coverage.

This Cam Mall button camera is a small, compact, and high quality camera which records at 1080P HD quality resolution. It’s design makes it extremely easy to hide almost anywhere. Since the camera has a detachable lens that is set on a long and flexible stand, the main body can be tucked away from view, with only the thin camera extension in place. Alternatively, the built-in camera attached directly to the 500mAH battery pack can also record and capture images.

Unfortunately, the battery doesn't last that long - only lasting around 2 hours on a full charge. However, the great video quality and image clarity makes it one of the best quality cameras on the list. The device is also small enough to attach to a dog's leash, allowing pet owners to see where your pet usually goes when they are out. 

The HD Mini Cam Pro App is compatible with either Apple or Android devices. The QR code for the app is provided and the installation and setup is relatively easy. The steps involve connecting your smartphone, with the app already installed, to the private WiFi network that is created when the device is turned on. Other users are also able to connect to the camera feed.

One excellent feature of the portable DZFTech Body Spy Cam is how simply it can be operated with only three main buttons: the OK button to commence record, the mode button to switch modes, and the reset button. The item is small and unnoticeable and can be attached anywhere you would like since it has a built in clip which allows it to easily be attached to pockets, backpacks, or collars. It takes HD recordings with clear audio, and the data can be viewed by connecting it to a laptop with its USB interface. A micro SD card should be inserted just above the USB port. The device is able to support a memory card with up to 64gb capacity.

The camera can actually be used conveniently for either security or simply recording for both personal and professional reasons. When set to record video, the camera can last up to 3 hours, with the device reaching almost 4 hours in some cases. While the video can get shaky if you record while you are moving (due to the lack of video stabilization), the results are very clear if the user is staying steady. Audio recording is also clear with this device.

This Mini Body Spy Camera from AKTOUGST is distinct from other portable recorders with its powerful Infrared night vision feature (6PCS), which enables the user to take clear videos even in extremely low to no light conditions. It is very easy to use with the the simple labelled controls at the side of the device. It also has a built in clamp which enables you to attach it easily to most surfaces. The entire device is small and discreet with its 0.98” x 2.83” size.

The design of this camera is also very simple, with an indicator light set at the front, to show that the device is recording. Unfortunately, it makes it difficult to hide the camera efficiently. On the other hand, it is easier to tell whether the camera is recording or not, which can be a problem with some small spy gadgets. After recording, the camera stores the videos directly into the memory card.

The 500mAh Li-polymer battery that is built into the device is able to sustain up to 4.5 hours of continuous recording. The camera lens, which is set on a 90° rotatable axis, can be adjusted to give you a better view. Unfortunately, users wont be able to see what the captured image or video is until after recording when the files are viewed on a computer.

This button camera from WNAT is a great device; it is easy to hide well in places that no one would. The device has many standard spy camera features, which include a phone alert system that relies on motion sensors on the device. What it does is that it sends the connected phone notifications whenever there's motion going on within the camera’s view. In use, the camera can fit well in most places because of the 23.6 in long and flexible cord that holds the camera. The main body of the camera can be stowed away under large items, while the camera piece itself can be adjusted, fitted, and maneuvered into tight spots.

The camera also comes with 8 different camera lens covers which are easy to swap, depending on where you are using the camera. The device can rely on multiple power sources, connecting to either a battery pack, portable charging device, or directly to a power outlet for 24/7 usage. The battery pack allows for portable video recording for a few hours but can take a while to charge.

Among all the button cameras in this list, the Taozhi Hidden Camera has the most number of camera lens covers. The unit comes with 9 different covers, that can be used to camouflage the camera well into different scenarios. Basically, the camera can effectively hide as a button or screw, whether you decide to hide it around the house or as part of your attire. The main body of the device is a small 2.1in unit which can be tucked away, leaving the 5.4in long camera extension to peek out from beneath under items. The camera end is one of the smallest, with the camera head being smaller than a thumb.

In terms of video quality, this button camera does not disappoint. For its size, the camera is capable of recording very high quality images and videos, set in 30fps rate and in either 720p or 1080p resolution. Files are stored directly onto a memory card which should be inserted into the main body of the camera. However, live video feed and recorded videos can also be accessed via a connected phone app. The BVCam app is downloadable in both Apple and Google stores.

The last button camera on this list is this camera from Toughsty. Notable features on this camera is the strong battery capacity, which can last for almost 12 hours continuous recording. However, if you do plan to use the camera for prolonged periods, use of a higher storage capacity memory card is advised. Unfortunately, the camera does not come with any connectivity features, so all the files are directly saved into the memory card.

Controlling the camera is still quite easy, even without an app. The camera comes with a car remote-like controller, that is set with 4 easy buttons: A,B,C, D. In the same order, the buttons function as a power switch, video recording mode, camera mode, and motion detection mode. The entire unit is very durable, with the compact and sleek design fitting well into a pocket.

The Tenvis Security Camera provides 360 degree full-coverage protection. It can actually be installed in different ways: standing or mounted on the wall or ceiling. Another feature available on this device is the automatic night vision mode which claims clear videos even up to 32 ft in distance.

The two-way audio feature also allows you to speak from your smartphone to the Tenvis Security Camera. While the speaker volume is quite low, people on the other end are still able to hear you well. 

The Kamtron Camera comes with in-app cloud storage where you can save the videos and pictures taken with the camera. This feature also allows easy playback when there is a certain video that you want to see. Aside from the online storage, local storage on an SD card is also an option. The home camera also has two-way audio features.

Despite a bit of delay, the speakers on the camera are loud and clear. 

Recording videos and capturing images with the 720p camera, the camera itself is a reliable monitoring device that records good quality images that present good levels of brightness and contrast.

The quality is good enough that it is easy to recognise faces. The camera is able to cover a full 360 degrees, and also provides a 3D panorama view which actually gives really good home coverage. When used at night, the night vision is still clear but is limited when compared to other nanny cameras.

The major feature of this camera is the full rotation, which can be controlled with the phone app. Other things that you can do with the app include recording and saving videos and images, as well as communicating with the people in the room. The camera supports a 2-way audio system that allows you to hear what is going on and then use your phone to communicate to the other end. The speakers on the other end are not that strong and work best if you put the camera inside a small room. Outdoor placement is not advisable for this type of camera.

For beginners, the S5C Drone is easy to fly, with the joystick like remote control operable by kids. The one key takeoff and one key return features make it easy to get the device into the air and back to the ground. In the air, the drone is also able to stay stable, owing to the built-in gyroscope that helps the device hold its altitude. However, it does tend to veer off-direction a bit.

On a fully charged battery, this drone can get 10-16 minutes of flying time, which is the usual time you would get from most mini drones. Unfortunately, recharging the batteries to full capacity can take up to an hour. One way to get more time is to carry spare batteries on hand, and swapping them out. But this can take a while since the battery cover is securely attached and requires a bit of manoeuvring to get open.

This mini drone also has a good build; with the anti-collision barriers protecting the propellers, the small drone can withstand a few bumps without being completely destroyed. Weighing only 1.65lbs, it is also lightweight and easy to carry. Aside from the mini drone, the remote also has a good feel. You can use the remote alone, or pair the drone camera with a Virtual Reality (VR) headset, a smartphone, or a tablet; connecting the camera with these viewing devices can be done with the Snaptain Era App, which is compatible with both Android or iOS devices.

 The built-in camera is capable of capturing videos and recording images at 720P, while capturing high-def quality shots. The brightness and contrast settings of the device are also great. The drone also features a pair of LED lights that are placed at both sides of the camera. 

The remote control that comes with the drone allows for a headless mode control, where the user can directly control the drone without seeing the camera view. Another alternative, when using the device, would be to connect it to a smartphone, tablet, or VR headset, where the user will be able to see the camera feed. Unfortunately, this wireless connection provides a slight delay so it is still best to keep an eye on the actual device when flying it. 

Controlling the drone is also quite easy - even for beginners. A one-key start or landing feature gets the drone flying with ease. Other features that help stabilise the drone are the altitude hold and gravity sensor functions. The drone runs on two 500mAH modular batteries. Holy Stone also provides an additional bonus battery. 

Weighing at 1.75lbs, its lightweight and foldable propeller blades make this drone very portable and easy to carry. The controller also has a foldable phone stand where you can place your smartphone when you use it to view the camera feed on the device.

The device is very small, fitting well into the palm of your hand or into your pocket. Despite it's somewhat low resolution 720p camera, the drone is still able to provide you a decent flying experience, which is very suitable for beginners. If you don't mind the video quality, by all means this is an excellent pick!

The one part that excels this drone from the rest of the bunch is it's features. You get a live feed video which allows you yo to view live video from the drone transferred directly to your mobile phone. What about the flight? Well the drone has a hover feature, where with just one press of a button the drone stays in position and hovers in the air allowing you to have control of it even with your hands off. Even if you'd like to get fancy this drone gives you the opportunity to show off with one-key 360 degree flips and rolls.

The drone comes with a new integrated smartphone app that makes everything more easy and fun. You get the privilege of drawing your own flight plan or even try the gravity controlling mode.

​

You get about 7 minutes of flight time that come from the 500mAh Li-ion battery that gets a full charge in 130 minutes. With size of just 32 X 32 X 7 cm, this makes an excellent compact drone.

Aside from the look, this mini drone also offers a durable build, portable size, and foldable propellers that come with detachable protection rings. The Simrex mini drone weighs only 11.2oz, but is able to fly well in a few windy conditions. However, it is still best to stick to indoor flights when it gets too windy outside. 

During flight, the Simrex Mini drone is stable. It features a reliable altitude hold and gravity sensor function. Controlling the device is also one of the outstanding aspects about this item, since it offers Dual-Assense control, wherein the drone can be controlled with either the provided remote control or via a connected mobile phone. When using the remote control, headless control is done. This means that the user is unable to see the camera view. However, when connected to and controlled with a smartphone or tablet, a live video feed from the camera is displayed through an app. From the app, videos can be recorded and images can also be taken.

The drone camera is able to take good quality 720P videos and images. The wide angle lens on the camera allows users to get a good view set in a 1920 x 1080 frame. Videos can also be seen live on the app or through a VR headset, giving users a full viewing experience. Aside from taking videos, this drone is also a fun toy that does tricks. It can do a full 360-degree flip and roll. One of the downsides to this drone is the complex remote controller, which makes it a bit difficult to fly the device. 

It's one of the easier to control drones, set with one button take off and landing features that favour beginners. The 3 speed controls also adjusts flight speed, allowing newbies to opt for lower speeds to improve the ease of control. Medium and High speeds are quite aggressive, without increasing the motor sound too much to affect video recordings. However, it does not fly as fast as other drones. But it does offer a better and more stable altitude hold, even in high winds.

A common problem with most mini drones is their resistance to the wind. This unit is more weighted and can withstand strong winds than most. But, when flying, you will still feel a bit of resistance and a need to adjust the controls to compensate. The drone offers up to 8 mins of flight time on a fully charged battery. Charging can take around 2 hours, which is quick compared to most drones. 

Flight safety features include an Out of Range Alarm and Low Battery Alert, which are great must-haves. A downside to this drone, however, is that it does not have a microSD card slot and only relies on direct storage to the connected phone. This means that it is not able to record any videos when it gets out of range. Also, the video quality can get compromised due to the wireless transfer.
