🌙 Night Vision Limitations

While many hidden cams include night vision:

• IR is often less effective than CCTV

• Range is usually between 1–6 metres

• IR performance is reduced due to concealment and pinhole lenses

• Night vision increases the chance of detection—choose based on your needs

---

🌐 Remote View & Connectivity

• WiFi-enabled models allow worldwide viewing via app

• Most require 2.4GHz WiFi (some are now 5GHz)

• Some models include push notifications on motion detection

⚠️ Note: Push reliability may vary based on your phone/Telco

🔊 Audio & Two-Way Talk

• Most models have a built-in microphone

• 🔈 Audio quality is decent, but not as good as a dedicated voice recorder

• Some models offer two-way talk, but speaker size and delay can limit usability

🔍 Lens Angle

• Field of view ranges from 60° to 110°

• Curvature may appear at wider angles—normal and not usually a problem

🔌 Power Options

• Most run on standard 5V USB power

• ⚠️ Avoid using 9V fast chargers—they may damage the unit

• Many models support permanent power

🧰 WiFi or Non-WiFi?
