Disguised mini camera in a shirt button for discreet recordings
Our disguised mini camera sits inside a real shirt button and is hard to tell apart from an ordinary row of buttons. There is no visible lens, no blinking LEDs and no housing that looks like a piece of tech. With 2K resolution (2560 × 1440) and 4 megapixels, the button camera records sharply enough that even fine handwriting and facial expressions stay clearly readable. That is exactly what a disguised mini camera is for: recording without anyone noticing the camera at all.
Mini camera with a live feed straight to your phone
The mini camera streams its picture live to your phone. You plug it into your Android device via USB-C, open the app and see the 2K signal on screen in real time. The sound runs in parallel through your phone's microphone and ends up in the same video file, in sync. You need no Wi-Fi, no pairing and no external power supply. If you want a helper in the next room to listen in and prompt you, combine the camera with our invisible earpiece and get the answer discreetly in your ear.
Hidden mini camera for exams and tests
The hidden mini camera is used most often in exams and tests, from oral examinations and the Abitur (German school-leaving exams) through to state examinations or IHK trade exams. The button sits on your shirt, a helper outside the room watches the live picture and reads out the answer. For the complete setup, the cheating kit of camera and earpiece is worth it, and wherever a calculator is allowed, the Spickprofi Calculator with its notes function rounds things off.
How to wear the shirt-button camera unnoticed
How you wear the shirt-button camera depends purely on what suits your situation. You can sew the button firmly onto a shirt or blouse, attach it with the supplied clip to a collar, belt or lapel, or film out of a bag through a buttonhole. It also sits inconspicuously on a rucksack strap and blends in among real buttons. That way you will find a way of wearing it in any situation where the camera is not recognisable as a device.
How the shirt-button camera differs from classic mini cameras
Unlike classic mini cameras with Wi-Fi, the shirt-button version works entirely without a network and without the cloud. Because it sends no radio signal, it cannot be traced by a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth scan either. Compared with standard spy cams at 720p, its 2K delivers around four times as much picture information, and instead of a housing several centimetres across you are only wearing a button. The cheat sheet guide shows you further covert methods for exams.
At Spickprofi the shirt-button camera arrives ready to use: plug and play in under a minute, with step-by-step instructions and a list of compatible Android devices. That way the hidden recording works from the very first moment, with no tinkering.
