Having an everyday object that could be carried into almost any room setting in order to capture discreet video and audio is certainly a challenge. The Coffee Cup Camera system easily meets the criteria because it is an innocuous item that can blend seamlessly into a modern room setting and can be used to obtain video footage when on-the-go. A perfect portable spy camera solution for almost any scenario.

Excellent Video & Audio Clarity

The spy camera and recording system in this Coffee Cup Camera are discreetly integrated into the cup lid. The camera is positioned on the lid’s outer vertical edge, disguised within a geometric pattern that repeats around the entire circumference making it almost undetectable. This ensures that this hidden camera can be used discreetly in a variety of settings. The high-quality video recording system captures in full 1080p high definition, and the audio is exceptionally clear, with the microphone capable of picking up sounds from several meters away. The camera adapts well to changing light conditions, producing very smooth video.

Coffee Cup Camera – One Touch Start

The design of this spy camera solution is very well thought out. There are no exposed switches or charging ports on view or anything else on the outside of the cup, which is really important so as not to arouse any suspicion. The video recording operation can be set in motion with a single touch operation, by pressing a certain place on the top of the lid. To confirm start up, the Cup Cam can be set to discreetly vibrate, so there are no flashing LEDs or anything else that would alert attention. Once recording, the cup can be held in the hand in a normal position or maybe placed on a table facing in the right direction to video the subject with absolute discretion. Recorded video has time and date stamp on the video footage, which is ideal for evidential purposes.

P2P WiFi – Watch & Set With A Smartphone

This portable camera solution offers the added benefit of smartphone connectivity via a free downloadable app. The app enables device operation, settings adjustments, and remote control of recording start/stop and playback. Live viewing from the spy camera through the app also greatly simplifies camera positioning for optimal subject capture. This is a significant advantage, as it allows the user to see exactly what the camera sees in real-time, directly on their smartphone screen. This eliminates the guesswork involved in positioning the camera, ensuring that the desired subject is always within the frame.

Changeable Micro SD Card- Easy Playback

Twisting the cup lid shell anticlockwise and lifting this cover exposes the manual controls, the charge/offload port and the SD card slot. The supplied USB lead can be connected to charge the internal lithium battery or to connect to a computer for playback/offload recorded footage. After a full charge the Coffee Cup Camera can record video footage for up to 160 minutes. A 16 GB card is supplied, but the device will accept up to a 32 GB card, a cost option shown in the dropdown menu. Standard media players on connected computers should play the files without issue; however, VLC, a free downloadable player, is recommended for broader compatibility. Should you prefer, a smartphone can be used for playback of video recordings, provided a compatible on-the-go cable is used (see our Recorder Accessories sction).

Wide Angle View – Interchangeable Coffee Cup

While the cup cannot record in total darkness, it performs well in dusky, low-light conditions. Its 66º angled lens captures a reasonably wide field of view. The camera system is supplied with three standard size generic drinks cups, but any standard size drinks cup could be used in conjunction with the camera cup lid. This provides the opportunity to attach a cup style that is more relevant to the setting in which it is being used. Although the cup can of course hold liquid, it is NOT recommended that hot liquid is used just in case the heat and condensation have an adverse effect on the camera system.

Perfect for Surveillance Professionals

This covert Coffee Cup Camera is ideal for law enforcement professionals, mystery shoppers and private investigators or any other person who needs a portable surveillance solution that is perfectly designed for face to face covert video recording. The camera’s design allows for discreet recording in a variety of scenarios, ensuring that crucial evidence or information is captured without arousing suspicion. Its portability and ease of use make it a valuable asset for professionals who require reliable covert surveillance. An essential in the surveillance specialists tool kit.
