“This camera is just jam packed with features. Let’s start with some of the specs. It is a full 1080P video camera, it can also take 16M still pictures, and it can do the clear audio recording. It also comes with an external microphone and an external camera. The external camera is about the size of a silver dollar, and much less conspicuous than having the central device hanging from your shirt pocket or wherever. The primary appliance, of course, has a view screen, and its camera is a wider angle camera than the external one. The primary device has a laser pointer to indicate where the camera is pointed, so you don’t have to run the display screen. The display screen turns off automatically after a couple of minutes to save power. It can be reactivated with a button press. Both cameras have infrared capability, with infrared illuminators for night use. One of my favourite features is the key fob. You can activate video or audio recording or take still photos from a distance. I have found that the key fob is easier to control the device than feeling for the various buttons while I am wearing it. It comes with a large and small belt clip for the primary device, and the remote camera and microphone also have clips for attaching them to your lapel.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

This spy data camcorder records audio and video for maximum 5 hours on a single charge. This unit is wearable and supports 32GB micro-SD card. It has a wide-angle view of 75 degrees and provides date and time stamp on the recording.

“This camera has great quality for the money. I would highly recommend it. The only problem is that is difficult to aim. Mine shoots high, and I have to pad the top of it to aim it lower. Still, for the money, I don’t think you can beat it.

The picture is a little misleading. I don’t look like it would work as a hidden camera but when you put it in your breast pocket, only the top part shows and it just looks like a pen. There is a flashing light when it records, but it is on the side of the camera that points toward your body and is not visible to anyone while it is in your pocket.

The only downside is that downloading the files is quite slow but, again, for the price, you can’t go wrong.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

The mini hands-free action camera has a 4GB memory and features 5 MP camera. It has a resolution up to 1920 x 1080 at 30fps and 170-degree wide-angle lens to capture the video continuously. The internal rechargeable Li-ion battery supports 4 hours recording. You can mount it with a clip and or use a tripod or monopod for the mount. 

“I use this while riding my motorcycle to record other drivers and to protect myself legally. At 1080p the recording detail is good enough to make out the speed gradients on my analogue speedometer, and I can even see the small specs of rust on my steering column. I know every little detail of the asphalt, make out the faces of passing pedestrians, read mailbox numbers (if moving slowly enough) and license plates of cars when at a stop. The view angle is wide enough to record my instrument panel, my hands on the handlebars and my wrists (in comparison I have tried other mini cameras and the video recordings are only wide enough to get the windshield area). There is a time & date stamp setting that superimposes over the video, which makes an excellent legal reference. The 720p modes and lower aren’t good enough to catch small details like license plate #’s so I don’t even use them. In conclusion, I feel confident using this camera and will update my review if I encounter any problems with it. It has met my expectations and exceeded them for a small pocket camera. Five stars.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“Purchased one of these and promptly rigged it up on the tie down mount of an RV8 aircraft and flew it thru barrel rolls, and high speed (200mph+) passes at the airport. The camera did an excellent job, only a slight pause for some unexplainable, reason (tiny). Handled the lighting variables in good shape. Good for the cost, and this is coming from a retired USAF Motion Picture Cameraman who has done several kinds of these applications on higher speed aircraft.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.
