THE INVESTIGATIVE CAMERAS


DIY hidden cameras

DK-CS cameras are ready-to-hide investigative cameras. You can hide them yourself in objects of all kinds to make totally invisible and unsuspected video surveillance systems. In our investigation range you will also find cameras already hidden in everyday objects, ready to use. These, however, are "Do It Yourself" hidden cameras . They require a little more work for camouflage, but they allow you to make a really invisible camera, using objects that are already present in the environment.


Micro camera and DVR in 20 grams

These DK-CS micro-cameras are really tiny, so they can be hidden in any type of object. The whole camera, with its lens, Sd card and battery, easily gets into a pack of cigarettes. Check the data tables at the bottom of the page to see how small this micro cameras can be. You can hide these cameras anywhere, even wear them among clothes.


From 2011, a success story

            

The first DK-CS camera we produced was called DK-CS1. It was launched in 2011 and literally created a new market segment from scratch: the DIY (Do It Yourself) spy cameras. DK-CS1 was a revolutionary camera, imitated by all our competitors, mostly Chinese. The lens was integrated into the motherboard and the PCB was covered by an insulating resin coat. The current DK-CS cameras are much more advanced than this first sample, but if you're interested in knowing more about this true milestone you can click here and watch on YouTube our video presentation from back then. It can help you understand where it all started.

VIDEO AND AUDIO

High resolution 2 megapixels video

            

Despite the small size, these spy cameras provide 2 MP @ 25 f/s video resolution, like our standard security cameras. The 2MP resolution, also called 1080P or Full HD (1920x1080 pixels), is the current standard of high resolution digital TV. Below you can watch a few demo clips recorded with our spy cameras.

Several hardware options

These ready-to-hide cameras come with a full set of options for covert surveillance, like our best hidden cameras.

A Rechargeable lithium battery
B Micro SD card memory slot
C WiFi antenna
D Wide-angle mini pinhole lens
E 6 m. invisible infrared illuminator
F Microphone for audio
G Loudspeaker for 2 ways audio

Pinhole lens on flat cable

            

All our mini-cameras with SD memory card come with wide-angle lens providing about 90° coverage. The lens is a pinhole flat lens that can record through a small hole of only 1 mm. To make mounting easier, especially inside small objects, the lens is not embedded in the motherboard, but mounted on a flexible flat cable of about 15 cm.


Microphone for audio

These cloaking mini-cameras also include audio. All cameras in this range come with a built-in microphone able to cover a medium-sized room. If the surface that hides the camera is not too thick you do not have to make a hole for audio. The audio is recorded together with the video and is also available during live view, in WiFi cameras.

VIDEO RECORDING


Video storage on SD card

            

All spy cameras in this range record videos on removable Micro SD cards. Please note that micro SD card is not included. To use these cameras, you must purchase a separate SD card in Class 10 or higher of the maximum capacity that your camera is supporting. The maximum storage capacity and SD size depend on the model. Please note that the Tuya wifi camera records crypted video files so the SD card content cannot be browsed by computer.

SD max. 128GB 32GB
max. archive 300 hours 40 hours

Playback and download video footage

To watch the video files that are stored on the SD card, you must remove the card and plug it into a Personal Computer. If your PC does not have any SD card reader, you can use the USB reader included. You can play the movies with common free players, like VLC. Cameras with Wi-Fi, based on Tuya app, saves crypted video files that can only be played via app or browser.


Motion detection

All cameras in this range can record continuously. In CONTINUOUS recording mode, the camera si recording 24/7. Once the memory is full, the camera goes on recording, and the oldest files are overwritten. The MOTION DETECTION mode allows recording only if movements occur in front of the lens. It is a very convenient function to avoid wasting precious memory space by recording non significant scenes. Cameras with built-in wifi can even perform schedule recording, with programmable time frames. NOTE: Motion recording helps you to save memory space, but does not extend the battery life.

POWER SUPPLY


The rechargeable lithium batteries

            

All these spy cameras come with a rechargeable lithium battery (1500/2600 mAh according to model). The standard battery allows recording for several hours as shown in the table. Several optional batteries are available, with lower or higher power. Choose low power batteries if you need small size, or high power batteries if you need longer battery life. The battery is connected to the camera with a small plug connector for easy replacement.

BATTERY DK-CS4-TUY DK-CS4-DVR
DK-BL1 300 mAh 45 min. 1 hour
DK-BL1H 1200 mAh 3 hours 4 hours
DK-BL2 2600 mAh 7 hours 8,5 hours
DK-BL3F 4200 mAh 12 hours 14 hours
DK-BL3 5200 mAh 14 hours 17 hours
DK-BL4 7800 mAh 21 hours 25,5 hours


Recharging the battery via USB

            

The batteries for these cameras are rechargeable 3.7V Li-ion batteries. When the battery is low you can recharge it by connecting the USB port of the camera to the computer or to a USB charger. The USB cable is included in the package. Full battery charging takes a few hours depending on the battery power. If you want to record continuously, you should buy at least two batteries and the stand-alone battery charger (DK-BCL2) . With this charger you can recharge the batteries without the need of the camera.


Mains power recording

All these hideable minicameras can record even if the USB port is connected to a charger. If you buy a USB power adaptor and hide it with the camera you can record continuously, 24 hours a day, without any problems of battery life. Under mains power, you can both disconnect the battery, or leave it there, as a backup in the event of a power failure. In our price list you have several kind of USB adapters to choose from. A very interesting version is the cover mounting USB adapter that is ideal to hide with the camera.


Using the camera on vehicles

These cameras are often used on cars, hidden in objects on board. You can use the camera with its own battery or connecting the camera to the vehicle battery, with the USB lighter adapter. If you want to record for a long time during parking, you can also connect the camera to the car's fuse box with our vehicle installation kit. The kit consists of a connection cable to be run under the vehicle seals, which includes the transformer and the voltage drop unit. The voltage drop box is a safety device that automatically disconnects the camera before the vehicle's battery runs out. The installation kit includes the splitters to connect to the fuse holders.

TIPS


Make a perfect hidden camera

            

To make an effective hidden camera you first have to choose a suitable object that possibly has a small aperture, behind which you will set the lens. You can even make a small hole yourself with a 1-2 mm drill bit. We recommend you to choose an object with a thin cover (1 or 2 mm). Then you do not have to make a hole for the microphone and you avoid the edge of the hole falling into the field of view.


Easily hide the lens with the magnetic kit

            

While setting up a hidden camera you have to make sure that the camera's pinhole lens is placed exactly behind the shooting hole and stays solidly in this position. To help you in the assembly we developed a magnetic kit with which you can position and remove the camera in a matter of seconds . The kit consists of an metal sticker, to be applied to the surface and a magnetic tape, to be stuck on the flat cable, close to the lens. You can cut the two elements with scissors so that they fit your object perfectly.


Make a portable hidden camera with web control

            

You can access your spy camera via Internet even if you cannot connect the camera to a local WiFi network. To do that you could connect the camera to your mobile phone (in HotSpot mode) or to a 4G WiFi router. A 4G WiFi router is a small and inexpensive device in which you can insert a data SIM card which is also available with battery power. The hidden camera will access the Internet through the mobile device and you will be able to control it via the web. Put one of our DIY hidden cameras with a 4G wi-fi router inside a box and you will get a portable, web-enabled, hidden camera.
