This little Micro-Cam is the nicest overall I have tested and used. The first comment I should make is that the product listing states: WiFi "Range up to 26 inches". They should correct that, as it is a mistake and will cost them sales. Customers will think it is only good to use if you can place it right by your WiFi router. That is not true. This little device actually has the best WiFi connectivity I have found on any compact device, and it rivals many of the ones with the external antennas. It immediately found and connected to my WiFi and would function well in 4K mode in any location within my house.Often you have to fight with cameras and other WiFi connected devices to get them set up and connected to your network. The procedures can be quite complicated, some requiring Bluetooth, others requiring you to use your network settings on your phone to connect to the device's built-in set-up hotspot, then toggle back to your WiFi at some point. I have even had devices which are 2.4 Ghz network only, like this one is, refuse to allow you to set the device up if your phone is connected to the same router, only using the 5 Ghz band. This can really cause you headaches, as it is sometimes very difficult to disable 5 Ghz connectivity on some phones if both bands are available. Once set up, the device will play just fine with both bands present. If you have much experience with these things, you know what I am talking about. This little device is absolutely the easiest I have set up. I installed the app, registered a login with their system, clicked the add button and it was just 1-2-3. It found the network immediately, asked me for the network password and automatically went through a list of online setup procedures, showing you which one it was on. It just worked. As I mentioned above, the WiFi range is excellent. I set it up from my armchair downstairs, a good 50 feet from the router, ignoring the suggestion to be within a few feet of it. it worked perfectly.The camera is not as small as the photo of it being held pinched between two fingers indicates. That makes it appear practically sugar cube sized. But it is the smallest similar camera I have tested. It's a little over an inch cube, 1-1/4" or 33 mm on each side, a little taller from top to bottom including the tripod mount.I attached some photos showing the actual size, in palm, as well as showing several angles of the camera body. I also included several photos showing the interior configuration. I have not installed a TF card in the camera. So, I cannot enter the TF card recording settings screen. My other compact cameras have a setting to allow the camera to be active in a motion detect, standby mode only. In other words, it detects motion and turns on to record this motion, and possibly generate alerts rather than being active and streaming all of the time. The latter uses a great deal more power. I ran the camera for a few hours. But I have not fully charged it and let it run until dead. That would be hard to do accurately without a card installed as you'd need to check it continuously to judge when it stopped working. The battery is quite large for this little camera. But when left operating it does get warm and stay warm. This leads me to believe it is on full-bore all of the time. If so, I doubt the battery will last for an extended time interval. This is not a negative. It is shown clearly connected to USB power when in use. The battery in that case, would only allow it to continue functioning in a power outage. It could also be connected to your phone's hotspot and used surreptitiously as everything from a dashcam to a little spycam. If you opted for the cloud services your recordings will be streamed to the cloud. So, even if the camera is discovered and destroyed the recordings, including sound will be safe. I did run it for 4 - 5 hours and it held up just fine for that interval. The App does not have an indication of remaining battery power. That may or may not be available via the hardware power management built into the camera. If the remaining battery power parameter can be accessed by firmware an App indication of the value could be quite useful and should be added. The camera includes a little mount which can be screwed or otherwise attached to allow the camera to be mounted.I want to discuss the actual performance of the camera. I found the 4K performance and refresh rate to be extremely good for a small camera. I set it up to watch a TV screen. That is actually a good test, as it's very dynamic and things like text banners appear from time to time. I saw very little choppiness and could clearly see everything. It's important when testing this to be aware of the effect of your WiFi quality as well as phone's data connectivity as those will affect UHD video quality a lot. Most remarkably, I found the color low-light performance to be truly excellent. It's the best I have seen, not speaking of high dollar low-light large sensor cameras, of course. My other cameras are very anxious to switch to black and white night vision, and the color low-light vision is very bad before they do. This camera can actually see better in color in low-light than I can, significantly so. I have a fixed outdoor large sensor 4K camera. The low-light color of this camera rivals that one, which I must say impresses me. The sensor in this camera is tiny by comparison. Another thing, when it switches to night vision the infrared LEDs used are invisible to the naked eye. Literally all of my other cameras use near IR LEDs (850 nm) which can be seen if you look closely. These are long wavelength LEDs, I'm guessing 940 nm, or they are using a red filter somewhere in between. I can see the LEDs with my cell phone camera. But I can only see them through the camera if I look right at them. They do not provide reflected light in the room which my phone camera can see like my other camera's LEDs do. That can be a real plus if you are looking to hide this camera. Additionally, my other compact cameras have one IR LED. This one has eight. So, it literally floods the room with light. That is comparable with my larger security cameras which illuminate my whole yard. That's not the intended application for this little guy. But I believe it could also do this.In consideration of all points, I find this to be an excellent little camera, especially in consideration of the price point. It's well thought out and I am impressed. It easily earns five stars.

So these cameras are really slid for security. They hold a charge for a long time and are very reactive to movement, which is awesome! the problem is that if you try to do a 6 hour video, they'll just turn themselves off and stop recording, and there's no real way to do anything about that.

The media could not be loaded. I wanted a way to ‘Check-in’ on some birds we have nesting nearby. This camera fits the bill just right. I need to say right off that even though it says it’s indoor/outdoor, it is NOT an outdoor camera. Not even a little moisture-resistant. My plexiglass enclosure was for the birds, (Haha, I made a funny one) but if you use it indoors, then you're golden.I was very surprised by how small it was, it is very small, however, not quite as small as the advertisement lets on. At the same time, it had a very clear picture. One very odd thing I noticed was of the three resolution modes, SD, HD, and Super HD, the Super HD and HD produced the same resolution, 1920 by 1080. This was pretty common with inexpensive products from overseas but unnecessary because the HD mode was more than sufficient for everyday viewing. You can see the various views in my video and stills. Really, for the money, this camera came through like gangbusters. I’m really happy with it, mostly because of its size, and of course, it works well and at a great price. I did not read the manual immediately because I know most of you folks won't either. I just jumped right in and started fiddling with it. It wasn’t a problem setting things up, but remember, you can always go off and read the manual, it answers a lot of questions.It does not include an SD card, nor does it come with a wall-bug, sometimes referred to as a wall-wart or power-brick, but most any 5V black box with a USB jack will work. Ideally, it should be a 2 amp supply, but most of our old phone chargers are. It has an internal battery but I did not test how long it would last, it’s a nice feature in case someone interrupts the power supply during a critical moment. Sad note; sorry for the blurring, I needed to cover the unique camera serial number, however, I think you are probably familiar with inserting an SD card, and you can obviously see where it goes.In closing; it’s really a pretty nice camera, its small size tends to make one feel toyish, but actually a very nice camera. I’m glad I have one~!~

So over all the picture quality is good on my phone. (Hakaxy 21s+) However it takes forever to charge these things. It never fully charges. Since they are supposed to be spy camaras It's not feasible to have them all plugged in 24/7. I'm able to keep one plugged in where is at but not the other 2. Thinking about returning the other 2 for something more reliable, that holds a charge, and charges completely in under a day. I guess you get what you pay for. $20 is cheap. So I got stud that performs cheaply. If it would charge completely and hold a charge for at least 6 to 8 hours I would have given 5 stars.

This is a great, simple solution for a point security issue where you just need to cover a single spot. Great for a hallway, monitoring an entrance, etc.Simple to install and operate. Works fine.It is a stand-alone solution, so you get what you get. Limited storage, etc...But, for what it is designed for it is great. Connectivity is good, setup simple.Would be great for dorms, apartment complexes, remote areas where there isn't a lot of activity.You do have to keep on top of it in terms of power and storage, but that isn't a major hassle.
