Key Fob – Product Review
UYIKOO 1920*1080P Metal Body Full HD Mini Camera Car Key Remote Spy Camera DVR Motion Detection w/ Night Vision Car key DVR Hidden Camera
I purchased this key fob camera a few months ago to test its capabilities and limits.
Pros:
- Great still frame picture obtained anywhere in a common room and within speaking distance during a close encounter surveillance.
- Rugged structure and durable buttons.
- Above average video and audio collection when placed on a steady surface.
- Easy connection to your computer and download similar to any external device.
- Device emits a different color LED light to indicate the selected photo/video/audio setting.
- Device vibrates to indicate the selected photo/video/audio setting.
Cons:
- Key fob must be on a steady surface to capture still frame picture.
- Any movement or hand shaking will produce a blurry picture.
- LED light indicator for selected setting is covered by an outer case.
- The vibration that indicates a selected setting is audible when the device is touching a hard surface.
- The build in IR LED lights are visible and uncommon with the structure of a common key fob.
- Internal time/date stamp continues to reset and will not maintain an accurate setting. (I have contacted the manufacturer and they are attempting to resolve this issue.)
Summary:
Overall, this key fob camera produced great pictures and videos for close encounter surveillance operations but you have to be cautious when using it due to the need for a stable platform with no movement during use. Also, I would advise holding it in your hand when changing the settings and then place it back onto a table or flat surface for use to avoid an audible vibrating sound.
