Mini Spy Camera with Trigger for Photo or Video

Are you suspecting your house is haunted but can't prove it because you never had a small - enough camera that ghosts won't notice? Or perhaps you want to attach a camera to your cat to discover its daytime activities, or create a 'life capture' camera for time - lapse recording of your day. This is where a tiny camera comes in super handy!Our Compact Miniature Spy Camera is incredibly small, even smaller than a thumbnail. But don't let its size fool you; it offers high - enough resolution to clearly capture people, ghosts, or whatever you're aiming at. It has a fairly high - resolution module (480p video and 1280x720 photo). The driver board is about 1 square inch in size and comes with a microSD card holder. The image module is as small as a cell - phone camera, with a body just 6.2mm x 6.2mm, and it has a stick - on back, allowing you to creatively mount it, like in a doorbell or behind a teddy bear's eye. There are power and 'activity' LEDs to keep you informed about its status.Though we don't have a real datasheet, as we think these are the 'guts' of some low - cost keychain cameras, it's quite easy to use. Connect the red wire to 3.7V - 5VDC and the black wire to ground. Use the white wire to control the camera. A short touch (under half a second) to the ground makes the camera take a photo, which will be saved in the PHOTO folder on the SD card, numbered from PIC000.jpg to PIC999.jpg, and the red LED will blink briefly. A touch over half a second starts video recording with audio from the mini - microphone, and the LED stays on during recording. Touch it again for over half a second to stop. This module stands out for its simplicity and good quality. Best of all, unlike most cheap modules, there's no overlay text. It's a breeze to create a micro - timelapse device or make little videos from your robot's perspective. Note that while it has a microphone, the audio quality is a bit buzzy. For still images, it can capture 1280x720 pixel static images and 640x480 video. The microSD slot on the board supports video recording on a microSD or microSDHC memory card, which should be formatted FAT32. It comes with a USB cable for power and data transfer.

Using the Compact Miniature Spy Camera is easy. First, connect the red wire to a power source of 3.7V - 5VDC and the black wire to the ground. To take a photo, briefly touch the white wire to the ground for less than half a second. The red LED will blink, and the photo will be saved in the PHOTO folder on your SD card. For video recording, touch the white wire to the ground for over half a second. The LED will stay on during the recording. Touch it again for over half a second to stop. When using the SD card, make sure it's formatted in FAT32. You can use the SD card formatter tool for this. There's a USB cable included for power and data transfer. Just plug it in, and it'll show up as a disk drive. As for maintenance, keep the camera clean. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth if it gets dirty. And be careful when handling the wires to avoid any damage. Remember, the audio quality from the microphone is a bit buzzy, so don't expect super - clear audio like from a high - end camera.
