1080P Sports Spy Camera

1080P Sports Spy Camera

Product Number: 1080P-ACT

Features
This amazing Spy Camera also doubles as Sports Camera and a Dash Cam. It must be one of the most advanced mini cameras ever developed and represents sensational value for money. About the size of a matchbox and weighing just a few grams, the video and audio recording quality of this camera is just amazing. 

So what makes this camera so different to any other spy camera or sports cam?
Our 1080P Sports & Spy Camera can easily fit into a pocket, be hand held or hidden if preferred.  Press the record button to capture stunning 1080P HD video & audio quality normally only found in HD cameras 5 times the size and cost. The video quality is truly outstanding (see the video clip below) and must be seen to be believed.  But wait there’s more, a lot more!

1080P Sports & Spy Camera records in beautiful super high 1080P H.264 HD video resolution in real time. There is also an option to select 720P 60 frames per second option suitable for extremely fast action recording such as a race track.  This Spy camera also supports WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) for recording in low light or many other peculiar lighting scenarios.  Time Lapse mode is another camera recording selection where the camera will automatically take high resolution pictures at set time intervals and save those recordings to an internal 64GB removable memory card.  All recordings are time and date stamped for authenticity. 

Tell me more about the Spy Camera features
This Sports Action & Dash Camera can be very easily configured for motion detection recording with user sensitivity settings. This camera is perhaps one of the best covert spy cameras we have ever seen. It’s so small it can be hidden anywhere whilst the motion detection recording is outstanding.   A camera such as this demands a class 10 or better micro SD card up 64GB. It will use about 3GB of memory per hour of recording at the highest resolution however, users have the options to select a range of recording qualities and speed all of which will determine how fast of slow memory is used.  Users have the option to STOP recording when the SD card is full or recycle meaning the SD card will auto over write from the earliest recording date.  Low light recording is very good, all battery operated or it can be 5V powered as well.

This Mini Hidden Camera is available with a 5V USB power adapter for long term motion activated recording.  Supplied with or without the built in mini lithium rechargeable battery, it can function for about 1.5 hours on one charge.  Sometimes a few hours isn't enough so by using the supplied mini USB cable, users can connect the camera to a 5V power adapter or a car cigarette lighter adapter.  Either will both keep the spy camera continually on and charging the battery (if supplied with the camera) simultaneously.   If this camera is to be used for covert surveillance, its perhaps to best order th Diode version without the battery as it won't be required.  The internal rechargeable battery is fine for short term surveillance but not long term.  No cost difference just a recommendation and the same applies if the camera is to be used as a Dash Cam.

By selecting motion detection mode, the idea is to hide or conceal the camera somewhere or in something, perhaps under a couch, bookcase. bed etc. As soon as any person or object moves within range of the camera, it triggers the camera to record for about 1 minute. The recording duration can be user set.  If motion continues the camera will continue to record anyway and then stop recording once motion ceases.  Simple yet very effective.  If you prefer to have constant recording regardless of motion it can do that too, no problem. 

Is there a larger battery option?
Yes we now have the option to include a rechargeable external lithium Ion battery.  This battery is 20,000mAH with dual USB interface meaning the camera can be connected to an external power source for long term operation is other power options are unavailable.  Call our office for more information and pricing but in many cases, it's not always possible to leave car ignition accessories on when the vehicle isn't in use and the internal camera battery has just 1.5 hours of power.  If power is simply not available, our new external lithium battery is the way to go.  It can keep the camera functional for 24 hours or more on the on charge. 

Someone is vandalising my car when parked what can I do?
This is a question often asked and in many cases the solution isn't simple.  Let's say you're car is parked at work, undercover, a carport, driveway or street and someone is deliberately vandalizing the car.  You need to catch that person so what can be done?  In a matter such as this, our 1080P Sports & Spy Camera with the optional long term powerbank lithium battery could be just the answer.  The camera lens itself is very wide angle at about 120 degrees but it can't see in both directions.  Our new lithium 20,000mAH powerbank battery can actually support two cameras at the same time so one camera facing the front of the car and the other to cover the rear.  The camera/s need to be inside the car (front and rear dash) but the cameras cannot be left locked and closed up in a car in the sun where temperatures can exceed 60 degrees.  The car will need some ventilation if possible and ideally needs to be undercover or shaded by day.  Security cameras of this nature are not designed to function in extreme temperatures and warranty does NOT extend to non compliance.

How do I playback recordings?
Remember each camera is supplied with a USB lead, the same lead used to power the camera.  Connect one end to the camera mini USB interface and the other end into your PC or MAC.  This will also recharge the battery incidentally.  As soon as the camera is connected to your computer, it will recognise a "new device found".  Double click on the new device (or open My Computer to see the camera SD card) and you will see all of the time date stamped AVI video files in chronological order.  Highlight any AVI file and select "Open With".  Most media players such as Windows Media Player and so on are quite suitable although we prefer to use VLC which is a free AVI video player available for windows and Mac that can be downloaded here www.vlc.com

Playback the AVI file and listen to the incredible quality audio to really appreciate it but the various players allow users to freeze frame, slow motion backward and forward, fast forward. fast rewind and so on.  You can do whatever you like with the video but for any recording that needs to be retained, simply copy and paste the video file onto your desktop and its done.  No need to erase or format the SD card, unless of course you select STOP recording when full in the camera menu. Use the recycle function its much easier.  So there you have it, very easy, simple to use and if you like, the SD card can be removed from the camera altogether.  Some customers prefer to use an SD card reader or the PC has a micro SD card slot.  No problem either method is fine. 

How do I use this device as Dash Camera?
Thinking about a dash Cam for your car or truck? Once again, look no further as our 1080P Action Cam is also a vehicle dashboard cameraa. Supplied with an optional 12V cigarette lighter adaptor, windscreen suction cup, waterproof housing if you need it for surfing and diving etc, there is simply no substitute!  If this camera is to be used as a Dash Cam we normally supply the camera with an internal capacitor or Diode rather then an internal battery. 

As soon as the ignition is on, the camera is on and recording constant or motion detection stunning audio and video.  In the event of a traffic incident, it stands to reason you want the highest quality recording available to prove who was at fault.  This is where quality video, quality audio, time and date stamped recording is paramount.  Without that the evidence is virtually useless in any legal preceding. When the ignition is switched off the recorder will also switch off but that too can be overridden. 

With an optional magnetic mount or windscreen mini suction cup, our 1080P Sports & Spy Camera becomes a very effective dashboard camera. As soon as it's connected to the car ignition or 12V cigarette lighter adaptor, it will automatically commence recording, so no need to press buttons as such. With the 1080P video quality and wide-angle view, you can read car number plates with ease. Loop Recording mode is a very helpful feature as you no longer need to worry if you have enough memory.

Can I use this Camera for vehicle security when parked?
Lets say you park you car in an under cover car park or on the street or you have concerns that someone is attempting to cause damage or vandalism to your precious car.  Its quite easy to keep the camera running if you like (in motion detection mode) or constant recording even whilst the vehicle is unattended.  Is not using much power at all so in most cases the car battery is fine but that means leaving car accessories on which can be difficult when parked.  Under those circumstances it's wise to then consider our optional Lithium Power bank battery which is about the size of a cigarette packet.   It doesn't matter too much to the camera. The point is this 1080P Sports & Spy Camera combo serves multiple purposes and absolutely ideal to keep a watch on your car, just in case.  If anyone is prowling about, the camera will record HD video day and night with audio and its very unlikely that anyone would even see the camera being so small.  Leave it on the dashboard if you like, front or rear or use a windscreen suction cup.  We supply the mini brackets but the suction cup is optional.

Audio Quality
1080P Sports & Spy Camera records excellent quality audio at 512 Kbps PCM.  Audio can be turned off as well from the configuration Utility.

What happens when the Micro SD card is full?
Loop Recording mode is a very helpful feature as you no longer need to worry if you have enough memory. Action Cam supports up to 64GB micro SD memory card which must be Class 10 or better.  When the internal micro SD card is full it will auto overwrite or recycle from the earliest recording date and it will do that over and over again. if there is any important recording that you need then simply save it to PC. Easy Playback with Windows Media Player or VLC etc.   The other setup feature is to STOP recording when the SD card full so you have the choice. 

How does it function as a Spy Camera?
As mentioned before, there are so many facets to this remarkable camera.  We know it can be used a sports camera. We know it can be used as a vehicle Dash Camera but its absolutely amazing as a covert spy camera as well. 1080P Sports & Spy Camera is available with a small internal lithium battery which can keep it fully functional in either constant recording or motion detection mode for up to 90 minutes.  Often 1.5 hours isn't enough although there are battery options. 

First of all we provide a 5V USB power supply with each camera so for longer term activation simply plug it into a power point.  If on the other hand a power point isn't available, there is the option to connect the camera to a 5V USB powerbank or lithium rechargeable battery using the supplied USB lead.  Not complicated in any way simply plug it in.  The larger the external battery source the longer the camera can remain activated. Provided the battery can be concealed from view, only the camera lens needs to see out.  Everything else can be hidden away and this offers much more recording capacity, perhaps 24 hours or more depending on how the camera is set to record, resolution speed etc.  

With regard to motion detection recording, this camera has it all.  The recording quality, recording speed, recording duration once motion is detected can all be preset by the user.
