Question: How do you de-activate the IR lights?  It lights up like a Christmas Tree!  This product fails in its mission to be stealthy.
Document: ...the device will not work for me, because the IR lights stay on in normally-lit rooms, over-exposing and washing out all of the detail in the objects it's pointed at. It does turn off, but only if you actually aim it at a light source. Maybe it's a bad photo sensor, but the unit I received didn't work for my purpose. Returning to seller.
For the price this camera provides decent audio and video quality with a nice set of features. However, before purchasing also consider theDakota Alert DVR-01 IR Motion Detector & Video Recorder.As for avoiding issues (expressed by others):- The IR and record indicator lights draw attention to the camera: I cover them with3M Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape. Any tape that blocks out the lights will work fine. Of course, covering the IR lights will affect your ability to record video in the dark.- You need to open the cover and remove the battery to access the SD card:  I use a USB cable to access the card so there's no need to do that.
Other problems: The camera is COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE THROUGH WINDOWS no matter how clean the window is. So, if you're trying to capture something outside your home, you'd literally have to place the camera outside, where it could be easily discovered thus defeating the whole purpose capturing someone's activity unaware. And why would someone find the camera? Because, the camera CANNOT BE HIDDEN! When the red night-vision lights activate, they can be seen from as far as 150 feet (So again, false advertising for this being a "spy" or "hidden" camera.
(a 32gb card if the camera is always plugged in)According to the user manual, 7mb for a 30 sec video for 10 days will not exceed 8gb. At which point you will have to charge the camera anyways.Calls for a Micro SD card class 6 or higher so avoid the common class 4 cards that are always on sale...Only complaints: When the subject is close to the camera the IR lights over expose them, the detection is on average 2-4 seconds before recording starts, the IR light and blinking light on the front are obvious in the dark.Quick fix: put the camera further away or higher up, aim the camera in advance of where the subject will be so the camera sensor can detect them and by the time recording starts they will be entering the frame, obvious lights: black marker on the IR lights and some electrical tape over the blinking light.UPDATE 4/25/2012: The battery lasts about 8-10 days after a full charge.
Very clear video and audio. Battery life is very poor however if you place the camera in a high traffic area. Overall...pretty satisfied with it. Will suggest that if your trying to be covert, you can turn off the low light indicator. If you don't, this thing lights up like a light house!
The camera works OK as a motion sensor camera, it's small enough to be hidden in day time, ah but the glowing Infra Red led lights beat the whole purpose of the hidden camera (not hidden anymore)The manual it's in well explained English, simple and detailed with some graphics to help you understand better the functionality of the device,also what the other guy said about the 5 seconds trigger video it's TRUE, the manual states 2-3 seconds (Lie) it's actually 5-6 seconds after the cam has been triggered to record somethingplus the glowing led lights, let me put it this way.You open the door,Motion sensor detects you right away(in half second IR led lights turn on) that doesn't mean the cam is recording.you have now 4 seconds to close the door and the camera would record just an empty room for the time you set the camera to recordThe camera worksVideo Quality is goodFPS are smoothAudio/Mic is good and clearTrigger time is 5-6 secondsCustomizable settings are just a few:Time recording:30,60,180/sVideo Resolution:640*480, 320*240Video Quality FPS:10,15,30FPSTime/date stamp on videoIndicator Green light On/Off while recordingDescription of the camera on video I guess (in case you have several around the house to see to which camera corresponds selected video)What it misses in the settings or should've been added too:On/Off IR led lightsSelect # of IR led lights to be activated on triggered cam: 0,1,2,4,6 or the whole 8,(seriously, the 8 IR led lights give great illumination to the night vision camera(more than enough I would say), but they show to the intruder the camera location and what it is at first sight)and that beats the whole purpose of the SPY/HIDDEN camera,so,NO, this is not a night vision "SPY" "HIDDEN" cam,maybe a daytime spy cam or just a motion sensor night vision camera,Battery Life is stated to last about 10 days,Haven't get thru that yet, I'll review that Later
I am really bothered that the camera came with no user manual. I seems pretty simple to use but things like the TXT and even where to insert the SD memory are not evident. I will give a better review of this product once I get it to work but without a user's manual it is simply not intuitive enough to merit a decent review.
This evaluation has nothing to do with Spygear Gadget product because the product shipped to me was not the genuine product. I contacted SpyGear  because the instruction and the product does not make sense. They promply responded and showed me the picture of the box that the product should look like. It should show their company name. The product I received did not have anything that showed that it came from Spygear, nor the company that made it. There was no tech support number if you need help. So I contacted Amazon and they gave me the website and phone number of Spygear.
Also, even if you happen to have a mini-cd adaptor (or a DVD/CD reader that pops out to receive disks), once the program is uploaded into the camera, the programing software used to configure the settings cannot work on any Mac OS. So, "mac-compatable" is a complete lie in the advertising. As for the quality of picture this toy captures, everything looks like sepia-toned Bigfoot footage. Good luck getting any face, license plate, or useful physical features with this product.
Amazon.com, shame on you! This is by far one of the worst purchases I've ever made on Amazon and I am amazed that Amazon would soil its name with a product like this. If the product description simply read "cheap lo-def motion sensor camera," it would basically be correct. Despite what the adverting says, this product is NOT MAC COMPATIBLE. Repeat: NOT MAC COMPATIBLE. The mini-cd that comes with this toy (and it is a TOY) cannot fit into most Mac slide-in disc drives.
Answer: You can't. Thus the claim that this is a "hidden camera" is completely false.
