Mini cameras have drastically come down in size and price. They are often used in surveillance equipment and you can find them in belt buckles, watches and just about anything else. Some also take great video and have faithful color reproduction.


The decrease in their size has resulted in a explosion of  spying devices. Now you can find cameras that are near the size of a pin head. These devices are very useful for surveillance and spying. Now you can feel like a real James Bond with a spy camera watch.

If you simply want to a compact video recorder that fits in the palm of your hands and not something for surveillance, then a DVR  from major brands like Sony, LG, Panasonic etc. will be more appropriate for you.

Lets take a look at some of the specifications for these mini cameras to see what you get from such tiny devices and typical usage scenarios:

They  can be very small indeed: 1/8 ” pinhole needed to have a clear color picture.  The better versions have an OSD (on screen display) built in. Some mini digital cameras allow you to set  shutter, sharpness, blc, contrast, white balance and gain. You can also connect to your TV or Monitor and choose the desired settings. Storage of data  will  usually be on microSD or in high end models to a video recording device.

You can get versions that are wireless, enabling you to see pictures and control your video from another room or building.

Low budget versions have only a few functions, will be in black and white and offer poor frame rates. You might choose an option like this if you think the device might easily be damaged or unrecoverable. These types of mini cameras might be useful if you just need a cheap throw away disposable camera, like a Vivitar mini camera. Perhaps you only need grainy pictures in which case spending 30 dollars on a device like this might be worth it.

Whatever  device you decide you will be amazed at the size and surveillance potential of a mini camera. They really put you in control of a situation leaving you feeling confident and ready for action.
