USB Charging Station OR WiFi Signal Booster; with Integrated HD Surveillance Camera
Based on your needs, select either the functional USB Charging Station (for charging USB accessories and devices) or the WiFi Signal Booster (to enhance an existing WiFi signal in your home/office). Due to its small, unobtrusive design and appearance, it can be placed in most room environments without drawing attention, for example, on an office desk, beside a home computer or on a shelf, appearing as an ordinary, functioning electrical appliance.
The integrated miniature HD surveillance camera will safeguard your home or office premises for general security or act as your guardian, monitoring your loved ones or pets during your absence.
WORKS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX (NO WIFI REQUIRED)
Straight out of the box, the USB Charging Station or WiFi Signal Booster can be connected to power and immediately deployed to function as a motion-activated video recorder without any connection to a WiFi network. This means the device can be placed almost anywhere, for example, in the living room, kitchen, home office, work meeting or boardroom, stock room or workshop, to capture vital evidential footage.
Video files are automatically captured and stored on a removable Micro SD card inside the unit, which can be physically accessed to playback on a Windows or Mac computer (or other Media Player) without special software.
CONNECT THE CAMERA TO A WIFI NETWORK
When the camera is linked to a home or office WiFi network, you can remotely view and record live footage on your smartphone from any location. You'll also receive push notifications when the camera detects movement, allowing you to identify the source of motion and take appropriate action swiftly.
The smartphone app serves as the camera's control hub, arming you with intelligent remote CCTV surveillance. You can set the camera's time and date, watch live footage, start/stop recording, take snapshots, change recording mode, enable/disable audio and push notifications, and much more!
Whether on a bus, travelling by train, or waiting in an airport lounge, the miniature IP camera that is cleverly integrated into the architecture of the USB Charging Station or WiFi Signal Booster allows you to observe real-time events.
Connecting the camera to a WiFi network is straightforward and takes a few minutes via the smartphone app. No complicated IP configurations or wiring exist, and you don't need a computer!

More Information
DO THE USB CHARGING STATION OR WIFI BOOSTER HUB FUNCTION?
Both devices operate as intended, making them excellent additions to any home or office setup. The USB Charging Station features four USB ports, with the top two functional and the bottom two serving as dummy ports. The working USB ports efficiently charge small electronic devices such as smartphones or tablets. To some extent, the WiFi Booster Hub extends existing WiFi signals, bridging areas with weak coverage.
WOULD A VISUAL INSPECTION UNCOVER THE HIDDEN CAMERA?
The product appears to be nothing unusual. However, if one were to physically handle and tamper with the unit, the concealed mechanism behind a hidden compartment could be revealed.
IF I DON'T HAVE A WI-FI NETWORK, CAN I USE THE DEVICE FOR STANDALONE RECORDING?
Yes. The unit functions as a motion-activated recorder straight out of the box. You may wish to set the time and date and fine-tune camera settings using the secure smartphone application. Notably, the camera doesn't require a WiFi connection to establish these settings.
WHAT ADVANTAGES COME WITH CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A WIFI NETWORK?
When the USB Charging Station or WiFi Booster Hub is linked to a stable WiFi network, such as in your home or office, you can remotely view the camera on your smartphone and record video footage from anywhere globally. You can adjust the time and date, modify the recording mode, and receive motion-activated push notifications. Moreover, when connected to a WiFi network, the camera's SSID remains hidden, ensuring that individuals searching the network won't detect the camera.
IF I CONNECT THE CAMERA AT LOCATION A AND MOVE IT TO LOCATION B, WILL IT AUTOMATICALLY CONNECT?
No. The camera will attempt to connect to the WiFi network at location A. You'll need to take the camera to your intended deployment location and connect it to that network.
HOW IMPRESSIVE IS THE VIEWING AND RECORDING QUALITY?
The image resolution is remarkably sharp, with fine detail, given the small screen displays on smartphones. When recording, the video footage is stored at 1080P resolution on an SD card within the device. The maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080, one of the highest recording rates available for WiFi cameras.
HOW DO I ACCESS RECORDED VIDEO FOOTAGE?
Video recordings are stored on a removable Micro SD card fitted inside the device. You can physically remove the SD card from within the device and play the footage on a computer (or other SD card media player). Alternatively, when your smartphone is connected to the same WiFi network as the device, all recordings will appear in the smartphone app, ready for instant access and playback. You may download individual files to your smartphone's camera roll for evidence and safekeeping.
The maximum SD card capacity compatible with this product is 32 GB, which can store approximately 16 hours of footage. A lower-capacity SD card will naturally store less recording time.
I'M NOT TECH-SAVVY. WILL I BE ABLE TO SET UP THIS PRODUCT?
While minimal technical skill is required, you will need basic computer knowledge to read and follow instructions effectively.
DOES THE CAMERA OFFER NIGHT VISION RECORDING?
No. This product does not support infra-red illumination (IR); therefore, the camera will require some form of natural or artificial lighting, such as a light bulb in the room.
IF THE POWER IS DISCONNECTED, WILL THE CAMERA STILL WORK?
Mains power is essential for the product to function as a practical appliance and for the surveillance camera to receive power. When power is restored, the camera will re-establish its connection to the associated WiFi network, allowing you to control it again.
