Many homeowners choose to implement hidden or covert surveillance cameras as a way to improve the security both in and around their home. When it comes to nighttime surveillance, however, it can be difficult to find a mini infrared wireless spy camera that is suitable for conducting covert surveillance. The purpose of this article is to take a closer look at the options that are available on the market to aid you in your search.

The key to an effective infrared surveillance camera is the use of powerful LED's. These infrared lights help increase the amount of invisible infrared light within an area to increase the camera's ability to view an object or scene. Use of these powerful lights gives these infrared cameras the ability to provide clear black and white images during extremely low, even zero light conditions. The small size of mini covert cameras can make it difficult to include the right amount of LED lighting to make them effective in total darkness. The following are examples of mini infrared spy camera devices that have incorporated this technology well.

  • Wireless night vision covert camera by Spy Arsenal -- This mini infrared B&W camera contains four powerful LED's built in, which gives this camera the ability to function in complete darkness. This tiny camera is just 19mm x 19 mm, so it is small enough to be concealed virtually anywhere. The camera itself offers 380 lines of resolution and can be set up to run off a 9-volt battery for up to 4 hours, or by using an AC power adaptor.

    The camera is also designed to transmit both audio and video directly to your TV or VCR wirelessly using a receiver. The transmission range is approximately 100 meters. In addition, you can connect this camera to your PC for easier recording by utilizing a video capture card.

    This spy camera device is also built with an automatic light sensor, which will cause the LED lights to automatically switch on once the surrounding light falls below a certain level. This camera functions as a color camera during normal lighting conditions, but will switch to B&W mode during low to no light conditions.
