Socket Lead Internet Camera; with Smartphone Live Viewing, Motion Recording and Push Notifications
This British-designed WiFi surveillance camera in the guise of a functional Socket Lead sets a new standard for monitoring your home or office. You can remotely view footage and record live video accompanied by clear sound quality to gather evidence on a smartphone from anywhere in the world.
Imagine you are travelling and need to monitor your premises remotely? Launch the smartphone app to view events in real-time, manually record footage and/or take picture snapshots. Why not let the camera do the hard work? Enable the camera to record and store video clips when motion is detected with a time and date to review on your smartphone at any time.
MOTION DETECTION WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
The primary and most popular recording mode is motion detection. When you leave the premises that you wish to monitor, you can enable this function from within the smartphone app and review recorded video footage from within the app at a later time convenient to you.
Receive real-time push notifications to your smartphone whenever motion is detected. Ideal for scenarios when you absolutely must know the moment an event occurs. Launch the app and LIVE view the activity as it happens.
As with all our WiFi cameras, the setup process requires minimal technical ability. You can be operational in 5 minutes from opening the box. There are no messy wires or IP configurations, and only a modern smartphone with internet connectivity is required. You receive easy-to-follow instructions plus access to our top-notch customer support should it be needed.
SIGNATURE INVISIBLE LENS
There is a skill to fitting pinhole cameras, and it takes a high level of professionalism to camouflage a camera well. We appreciate that gathering evidence to support sensitive situations can be stressful and that is why the workmanship is absolutely first-class. There is no other WiFi camera product on the market with the same level of attention to detail.
SMARTPHONE APP FOR IPHONE | ANDROID DEVICES
The smartphone app can be downloaded from the Apple | Google Play Store and is the control hub for the Socket Lead's camera. The app is super easy to use and convenient for beginners of all types.
PRIVACY AT THE FOREFRONT
Heavy financial investment was made by the workshop to ensure the server is hosted in the UK and with a UK license that puts real protection back in your hands. The server provides a secure handshake between the camera and the smartphone app to authorise access through a series of algorithm signatures designed to please the privacy-minded user.
UPGRADABLE STORAGE TO 256 GB
The Socket Lead is fitted with 32 GB of internal storage that is upgradable to a maximum of 256 GB upon request, prior to purchase. We can also accommodate up to 256 GB storage capacity.
WiFi DISABLED? NO PROBLEM.
Should the WiFi network drop out, the camera will continue to monitor the room environment and store video files as per the record settings. Although you will not be able to view the camera live in the event of a WiFi disconnection, recorded files will continue to be captured and will magically list within the smartphone app when the WiFi connection is re-established.
If there is no WiFi network available at the premises at all, then consider purchasing a portable MiFi Dongle to provide a wireless 4G network to which the camera can connect. The camera can also connect to a smartphone's Personal Hotspot (also referred to as tethering), and for much longer-term deployment, consider the Portable WiFi Pelibank Battery Case. See the 'More Information' tab for further details.
INVISIBLE CAMERA ID (SSID)
For peace of mind, the camera will not display its SSID when connected to a WiFi network, thus remaining out of sight to 3rd parties searching for connected WiFi devices on the network.
WE CAN CUSTOMISE FOR YOU
Please contact us should you require a different style of Socket Lead or other customised product.
The Socket Lead is a fine example of exceptional workmanship where the entire design process is British manufactured as a seal of quality and safety. An investment to prioritise privacy to host the server in the UK with a UK license is another unbeatable factor.
The cable length of the Socket Lead is standard two meters.
Note: A high quality Piezo-electric microphone is fitted to the board that focuses specifically on speech within the surrounding vicinity. Noise from a televison, radio, background music or audio at long distances will be purposely disregarded by the microphone.

Exceptional product
Review byRowley Birkin QC
I love everything about this product. The build quality is superb, it's easy to set up and use, the picture quality is a huge step up from the old 720p AC adaptor cam I bought years ago.
I was a bit sceptical about the " phone only" access feature but it actually works very well, as does the remote viewing. The sound quality is also very good with none of the background noise you get with other some products or CCTV audio.
Worked straight out of the box.
Review byCustomer: 00000395XXX
Good set of Instructions accompanied the product (which proved invaluable). Had one query which was swiftly answered by email. Overall very happy so far with the product.
Good product.
