The MINI-540CO is a covert mini spy cam with a tiny pinhole lens. This tiny CCTV camera is typically hidden behind or inside of objects for convert video surveillance applications. The size of the square case of this camera is 25mm(w) x 25mm(h) x 18mm(d).

This spy camera supports 2 video modes / resolutions: analog CCTV (960H / 700TVL) and 1080p AHD (1920 x 1080 / 2 megapixel) - which means that it can be used with traditional analog CCTV and high definition AHD DVRs. The video modes are easily switched using the OSD joystick that is included.

The camera has an advanced OSD menu that can be accessed using a small push-button joystick located on the video cable that can adjust settings such as back light compensation, day/night mode, color, contrast, sharpness, hue, gain, and more. For most users, the factory default settings work great and the camera simply needs to be powered on and connected to a video output.

This camera comes with a 4.3mm pinhole lens which provides a fairly wide angle of view (about 63 degrees). This spy camera is extremely small in size yet has the same lens angle of view and great picture as many of our other high resolution security cameras. You can see the great quality of this camera in these sample pictures and in these surveillance video demos. Also, be sure to check out this 1080p HD surveillance image captured in AHD mode.

This spy camera comes with a U type holder /mount, as well as the power and video cable leads, and OSD joystick. These cameras can easily be hidden in walls, clocks, toys, and just about any object you want. Custom hidden spy cameras can be fabricated from just about anything to conceal these mini CCTV cameras.

Color Day Mode Color - Analog CCTV Mode

This picture was captured using a MINI-540CO connected to an iDVR-PRO surveillance DVR. This room at CCTV Camera Pros office is 29 feet wide by 28 feet deep. The door is 36 feet away from where the camera is mounted. This image was captured with the camera in analog CCTV mode / 960H resolution (960 x 480 pixels).

Low Light Spy Camera Lights Off Picture

All of the lights were turned of in the room when this picture was captured. The windows have blackout shades pulled down. The only source of light is from a 15 way light bulb in the floor lamp. This simulates very low light surveillance. The lamp appears bright from the camera image because the MINI-540CO is very good at capturing low light video surveillance
