Asside from the plug settings it comes with the best resolution out there for recording devices. Its 4k video is second to none and provides a wide angle lense that really lets you feel like you can see anything in the room.

Dont want to waste too much recording space when nothings happening? No problem the motion sensor ont his camera will make sure you only have the camera on when it counts. There is also an option for video calling which is a great bonus.

Do you need to use your cellphone and remote view? No problem this camera comes with an app and allows you to view remotely from anywhere without any issue. The sheer breadth of features of this usb cam make it the best in the market.

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.
