Phone Charging Dock with Hidden Camera

CAN THE iDOCK CHARGE MY IPHONE / ANDROID PHONE AS NORMAL?

Yes.  Use it as a normal charger for your mobile phone which can sit on your office desk or table at home.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO KNOW THE iDOCK IS FITTED WITH A SPY CAMERA?

No.  The Charging Dock looks completely normal by visual inspection and powers from the mains just like any other normal iDock Charger.  The recording mechanism and SD card slot are concealed.

CAN I PLUG THE iDOCK INTO A WALL SOCKET TO RECORD AS A STANDALONE CAMERA WITHOUT USING WIFI?

Yes.  The iDock Charger can be used as a self-recording camera to capture activity to a Micro SD card (inside the iDock) without the need to set up and use the WiFi function.  Insert the supplied SD card into the iDock and plug the iDock into a mains power socket to capture events either continuously or upon motion detection (depending on the recording switch direction).  Video footage is recorded and stored (with audio) in 1-minute file lengths.  To review the footage, remove the Micro SD card from the iDock and play on any Windows or Mac computer without any special software or skill required.

DO I NEED TO USE THE FREE APP?

The FREE app gives you much more useability and is incredibly easy to set up - no more messy wires, and you don't even need to connect the iDock to a broadband router!  You can set up the iDock Camera directly on your mobile phone through the app available to download from the Apple / Google Play Store.

The app allows you to set the time and date, change the recording mode, hide the SSID (so other people cannot find the camera on the network), remotely watch in real-time, receive movement notifications on your phone and remotely download stored video files to your smartphone.  Everything is controlled at the touch of a button!

HOW DO I KNOW WHERE TO POINT THE IDOCK TO GET THE BEST VIEW?

The camera is cleverly fitted on the front of the iDock's facia and has a decent 78-degree field-of-view so with minimal rehearsal it's easy to turn the iDock and aim the camera towards the area you wish to monitor.

IS AUDIO SUPPORTED WHEN I WATCH LIVE?

Yes.  Audio is supported when you are watching LIVE footage, and audio is also recorded to the SD card.

WILL THE VIDEO FOOTAGE BE GOOD QUALITY?

Yes.  All video footage is glorious 1080P resolution.  The more natural lighting in the room where the iDock is being used, the brighter and more vivid the images will be.  Please note when viewing LIVE on your mobile phone the video is not live-streamed in 1080P resolution - but, it is excellent quality footage because you are viewing on a small display.  You will be impressed.

HOW DO I ACCESS THE RECORDED VIDEO FILES?

All video recordings are stored to a removable Micro SD card fitted inside the iDock. The maximum SD card capacity that can be used with this product is 32 GB which will store approx 16 hours of motion-activated footage.  A lower capacity SD card will store less recording.

DO I NEED TO BE TECHNICALLY SAVVY TO USE THIS IDOCK PRODUCT?

There is no technical skill required - it is incredibly easy to set up and use.  No special software is required to playback recorded footage and only basic computer knowledge to use an SD card.  You can playback the contents of an SD card on any Windows or Mac computer by simply launching the computers media player (we recommend installing and using the free media player from videolan.org).

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD RECORDED VIDEO FILES FROM THE IDOCK TO MY MOBILE PHONE AS A BACKUP?

Yes.  From within the software app, go into the 'video files' menu and then select which files to download to your smartphone.  Please note that your mobile phone must be on the same network as the iDock and have enough storage memory to support storing video files.

WILL THE IDOCK CAMERA RECORD AT NIGHT?

No.  This product does not have infra-red illumination (IR); therefore, the camera must have adequate lighting either by natural light or by a light bulb.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE IDOCK IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS WALL SOCKET?

The camera cannot operate without power.  When the iDock is plugged back in, the iDock will re-establish the WiFi connection, and you will be able to control the iDock remotely.
