This product is designed to look like an everyday takeaway coffee or drinks cup, but discreetly concealed within the specially designed lid is a 1080p high definition camera system with P2P short range WiFi connectivity. Perfect for hidden camera surveillance on-the-go.
Having an everyday object that could be carried into almost any room setting in order to capture discreet video and audio is certainly a challenge. The Coffee Cup Camera system easily meets the criteria because it is an innocuous item that can blend seamlessly into a modern room setting and can be used to obtain video footage when on-the-go. A perfect portable spy camera solution for almost any scenario.
Excellent Video & Audio Clarity
The Coffee Cup Camera is designed with the spy camera and recording system discreetly built in to the cup lid. The camera is located in the outer vertical edge of the cup lid, incorporated into a geometric pattern that is also replicated around the entire lid circumference. The high quality video recording system captures in full 1080p high definition and the accompanying audio is extremely crisp, with the microphone able to pick up sounds several metres away. The camera deals with changes in light effectively and the resulting video is certainly very smooth.
Coffee Cup Camera – One Touch Start
The design of this spy camera solution is very well thought out. There are no exposed switches or charging ports on view or anything else on the outside of the cup, which is really important so as not to arouse any suspicion. The video recording operation can be set in motion with a single touch operation, by pressing a certain place on the top of the lid. To confirm start up, the Cup Cam can be set to discreetly vibrate, so there are no flashing LEDs or anything else that would alert attention. Once recording, the cup can be held in the hand in a normal position or maybe placed on a table facing in the right direction to video the subject with absolute discretion. Recorded video has time and date stamp on the video footage, which is ideal for evidential purposes.
P2P WiFi – Watch & Set With A Smartphone
What makes this portable camera solution even more special is the fact that you can connect it via a free downloadable app to your smartphone. This not only makes it possible to operate the device and change settings through the app, but also allows start/stop and playback of recordings. In addition, being able to view live what the spy camera can see also makes it very easy to position the camera to the best effect, to capture the subject-matter.
Changeable MicroSD – Easy Playback
Twisting the cup lid shell anticlockwise and lifting this cover exposes the manual controls, the charge/offload port and the SD card slot. The supplied USB lead can be connected to charge the internal lithium battery or to connect to a computer for playback/offload recorded footage. After a full charge the Coffee Cup Camera can record video footage for up to 160 minutes. A 16GB card is supplied, but the device will accept up to a 32GB card, a cost option shown in the dropdown menu. Generally, files will play on a connected computer simply by using the standard installed media player but, if not, then we recommend a free downloadable player called VLC, that plays almost any media files.
Wide Angle View – Interchangeable Coffee Cup
Although the cup cannot record video in total darkness, dusky low light recording is achievable and with a 66º angled lens, the camera is able to achieve a reasonably wide field of view. The camera system is supplied with three standard size generic drinks cups, but any standard size drinks cup could be used with the camera cup lid. Although the cup can of course hold liquid, it is NOT recommended that hot liquid is used just in case the heat and condensation have an adverse affect on the camera system.
Perfect For Surveillance Professionals
This Coffee Cup Camera is ideal for law enforcement professionals, mystery shoppers and private investigators or any other person who needs a portable surveillance solution that is perfectly designed for face to face covert video recording. Ideal for meeting situations and an essential in the surveillance specialists tool kit.
