Excellent review. I was able to set up my clock following you.
Sorry no. My clock actually stopped working shortly after setting it up.
Does it keep recording when you leave the app without closing it ?
can you use it without the wire?
The 3 I have still record 4 up to 3 weeks but still will not connect to WIFI unless I am in my house.
So i take the card out every 2 to 3 weeks and DL to my laptop.
This question is from December 11 2022 ok I'm planning to buy this camera but the thing is I'm planning to leave this clock 350km away from me so will it be connected?? Can u explain how?
I just got mine. I ordered 2. The cam is a bit grainy but quality enough to recognize and identify. What floored me was the wireless function. After installing app, I shutdown my phone's blue tooth and wifi. I left the house and went around the corner, far enough to see where this thing CAN be viewed live using your mobile data service on your phone. I was shocked! Thanks to this, it compensated the grainy footage. Not bad for an average $30 more or less. The motion detection is awesome. About 3 seconds into entering the house, it will take a snapshot and send a notification. There is IR but useless after about 5 feet. The is SD is the so called cloud you install (TF Card) which is a standard I prefer anyway because of the way online security can be compromised by Big Tech, which they would deny accessing anyway.. Whats remarkable is that it will auto date and time, and display date time and the day of the week with out technical bullshit. Its all automatic. I got mine off ebay. You may find some cheaper, but without battery. The battery is a special high drain type most commonly used in vape mods...18660 or somthing like that, I forgot the numbers. The clock is not too bit and not too small and is practically invisible to intruders especially to property personnel who has access to your apartment while you are at work. My only sole complaint it the back light of the time display. This type of blue is a bit loud for my eyes. It would of been nice if it was the traditional red. Anyway, its easy to set up and worth the buy. I give this thing 10 stars regardless of grainy footage. It beat the hell out of Ring and monthly subscriptions. All you need is your internet and a mobile device.
Does it work when you leave the app
@@baselterkawi4758 leave the app? Do you mean in the background? The answer may be yes for you. I was at work and opened the app and you can see all in real time and there is a slot for mini sd for backup. I think it plays the role as a cloud though.
Hello if u are far away can u still see at home
@@vi-ni6848 All of the wifi capable cameras including this one, as long as it is connected to your wifi and you have the platform downloaded on your phone that has internet with either wifi or cellular internet, you can view it from coast to coast. I can't speak for "far away" like out of the country, but I can imagine yes as long as you have an international connectivity plan.
can you use it without the wire?
Do I need a wifi to use the camera? Or I can just connect it to my phones wifi connection?
Mine isn’t recording. Do I have to have a card for it to record?
A good job
Thank you for show us this Camera i'm trying to buy it
can you use it without the wire?
so I bought this cámara but it says app is not allow in my region now what
hello..i bought this alarm clock spy and from August 20, 2019 that no longer connects remotely.I'm using your own application hhminicam..my same problem have had hundreds of people ... do you know the solution to this problem? thank you
Company has shutdown apparently, camera server is down, their four its nice peace of decoration to your house
How do you even reset the camera I cannot connect to it forgot thr password...? I don't have any reset button on it..m
When I try to set up hdminicam I scan the barcode but it just says logging in and not connected - please do you know what I am doing wrong? thanks
You need to connect your phone to the camera's wifi signal. Afterwards, use your phone to go into the camera's menu so as to connect the camera to your home wifi. Once you do that, the camera stops emitting its own wifi signal. So, disconnect your phone from it and connect it to your home wifi too. Now, both your phone and camera are connected to your home wifi.
Keep in mind that once your phone is out of range of your home wifi, you will not be able to connect to your camera, since remote connections are no longer possible.
how wide it capture?
Good news everybody; the problem has been resolved. I established a remote connection with all my cameras (Nov19/2019). The connection time is slow, but within 5-10 minutes it succeeds. Hopefully, this problem will also be resolved soon.
Update: Sadly, the fix was short-lived. The P2P server was brought down permanently in Dec/2019.
can you share how to do it? I can remote view only when in the same wifi network, but failed when im on 4G, it just kept logging in. Appreciate your help.
can you use it without the wire?
@@gojoteoo9611 Yes, until the battery runs down after a few hours. Then you will have to plug it in again to recharge the battery. The camera will continue to work while the battery is recharging.
Nice device
Okay so I have set up this can various times. However recently the mofo only connects when i am also connected on my phone at my home wifi. Other than that it always says offline or logging in. Any ideas as to what's going on?
Brad Groomer same issue recenlty.. i think its app failure... if you solve it, tell me bro please
The camera server is down
You can try with P2PLive Cam as well... Please make sure it will worj on 2.4G network...
To add to what Haitham Badran said, as long as the P2P server is down, no app will get your camera to work like before. If I am wrong, please enlighten me.
You said you're supposed to be able to view the camera from work? But it doesn't seem to work for me unless I'm connected to my wifi. Any help please?
Chris, as I have mentioned in previous posts, the P2P server(s) that converts your camera's unique ID (UID) into an IP address is down or decommissioned (since Aug/26/2019). Without an IP address, the app cannot remotely connect to your camera.
One person has mentioned that the servers have been hacked and that they should eventually be fixed. After 4 weeks, I am skeptical, but hopeful, of any resolution any time soon (if ever).
If you recently bought your camera, I would ask for a refund. I would definitely not recommend that anybody buy any similar cameras that run on any of the apps written by Zhang Gang, such as HDminicCam, IminiCam, and P2PLiveCam among many others. All these cameras will have the same problem.
Bottom Line: Get a full refund.
Is there any different cams like this that do work
Did they change there app
Also my barcode is bended it won’t scan
If the video recording only It will save the SD card ryt otherwise not

can you use it without the wire?
Hi do you know of one that is not wifi?
oh, the night vision is manual controlled not automatic.
Why is the HD Minicam not available, which other App can I use?
Do you found another app?
€50 in the bin. Fantastic
I have been asking this and I hope someone can answer me, and other people.
Why did all the clock cams stop working in Aug ( last month)?
I have 3 clock cams and all 3 stopped the same night.
I cant get them to sync to my phone or Internet.
I have talked with other people whos Cams also stopped last month.
1 had said she heard the DNS went down, I don't know but would like to find out.
These cams are awesome with perfect video/audio.
Anyone ? ?
Stanley, I think that is what happened. The P2P server(s) that converts your camera's unique ID (UID) into an IP address is down or decommissioned (since Aug/26/2019). Without an IP address, the app cannot connect to your camera,.
Nobody has any information as to whether the server(s) will ever be brought back up, even though these cameras are still being sold on eBay, Amazon, and Ali Express. Perhaps that is the only light of hope.
I have the same problem. I have lots of these cameras in different cities and they all failed. The devices are serviceable and can be connect to a local phone hot spot using UID then you give them the WiFi address and reboot they just show connecting but never do. One vendor said that the UID is too old so a bought a new clock camera from Amazon.ca this week but it has the same problem. I think the company that owns the server has gone out of business. Wyze cameras still work OK and I have not finished troubleshooting all of the other manufactures.
Thanks for the reply. I will try to find a few more, but spending $210 so far
so I really need to check replacements before purchasing.
Same problem i encounter today..somebody could help me how to install this camera?
hello, I'm away from home, I left the device and the camera turned on and everything was fine until after 3 days , the program informs me that the device is offline and shows on the display 88: 88, is it possible to restore the connection from a distance, I'm not at home, or simply the device broke? Cheers
I am surprised you managed to get any connectivity since you left home.
No, I doubt the device is broken. You just need to get somebody to reboot it; turn it off and on. It is very common for it to go down especially after you reboot your modem/router.
Bonjour comment fait on pour régler le mode nuit ? Merci de votre aide
The camera does not have a sensor to detect when it is dark. So you have to specify the hours when the night vision lights are turned on.
Go to "Advance Config > IR LED Config". From there, select the start and end times of when night vision should be turned on.
You can also turn on night vision from the "Live Video" screen by tapping on the top of the video screen to display the ribbon. From the ribbon tap on the lightbulb icon.
Can it be kept plugged in for constant power?
Yes, that is the idea. The battery should only be used for when there is a power failure of under 3 hours.
@@dkyrtata6688 so we can use it
without the wire?
@@gojoteoo9611 Yes, until the battery runs down after a few hours. Then you will have to plug it in again to recharge the battery. The camera will continue to work while the battery is recharging.
Bro this spy can i see from anywhere to live?
is it recording sound as well?
can you use it without the wire?
If I can’t find QR of that clock anymore. Can I connect my phone with spy clock camera by other way? Where I can find UID?
When you reset the camera, you will see the camera's UID in the list of wifi networks in the area. You must connect to that network to configure the camera
Can it only record if your nearby ? Or can you leave the house and it will still record ?
You can no longer connect when you are away from your wifi area. Do not buy this camera until this problem is fixed
Dkyrtata Thanks
The moment the mobile locks or the app on mobile is minimized the recording also stops. Is there any way to record continuously in loop?
RKP I want to know this too
can you use it without the wire?
Can I delt the recorderd video from my the mobile application. Otherwise
Yes, you can use the app to delete the files from your phone or from the SD card.
'' 'Hdwificlockcamera' '' '. Very interesting this camera, can it communicate between had in different network? Let me explain: >
It is possible when the P2P server is operational. It had been down between Aug-Nov/2019. It went down again in mid Dec/2019. It is anyone's guess when it will be operational again
@@dkyrtata6688has it been fixed this 2024 we are now
Does anyone know how to set up the WiFi so I can view it from a different location. I followed all the instructions but it still doesn’t let me view the cam from a different location. The cam is running on my WiFi. It shows I have the WiFi installed and the cam WiFi is no longer on my list of WiFi options.
Having the same issue also.
Yes same issue
How long range it can connect by hotspot
It depends on your hotspot strength...
Which app I have to use for iOS device?
Do you found the app?
I bought one of these clock camera things. I hope it’s near enough to get wifi
Unless you have a very large home, your camera should have no problem picking up wifi -- no different than any other device.
It can record how much time??
please link to application for android, thanks
Yes, the app runs on Android, but has been taken down from the Google Play store.
I think you can still get it from here (try quickly before it disappears): apkfab.com/developer/gang.zhang
What if there was not any batteries in the clock. Can i buy a battery for it?
The battery it probably takes is slightly larger than a AAA battery. The actual battery type is a 18650. It is has gotten more expensive. Here is the cheapest I have been able to find. So grab it before the price increases.

I have an Android and this did not work with my phone wouldn't connect to the Wi-Fi or Internet
It should connect to wifi, but it won't connect to the internet anymore
We can not download this app in apple store US..??? WHy
Because the camera is unsupported since Aug/2019. The P2P servers have been brought down which means that nobody can make a remote connection anymore
I got my clock today. The screen is in black and white. Is yours in black and white too? This is very lousy. It should be in colour. :(
Turn off the night vision
Hello! i just set up my unit now and i think i really need your help because i cant open it, it says offline everytime i try to connect. where can i contact you? Please? Thank you.
Unbox Kart yea probably will, thanks!
I want to connect my camera to mobile internet
If you have hotspot capability on your mobile phone you can use it as wifi and hook it up that way
How many meters it works
After I scan and add the camera, and it says connected no internet, I try to go to add new online camera and it says camera offline? (It won't let me do Anything) Any help is greatly appreciated 💕
Try rebooting the camera. If that does not work, reset it by pressing the reset button in the rear with a pin for at least 7 seconds.
Be aware that camera is unsupported since August/2019. So the app has been removed from the Google/Apple stores. There is nowhere else to get it for Apple, but you can still get it from for Android:
Since the app is unsupported, there is no P2P server to connect to anymore. That means you cannot view your camera from outside your wifi area.
Get a refund if you recently purchased your camera!
@@dkyrtata6688I have no reset slot to use it with a pin pls help?
How to export the recorded Videos from the App ?
You can download the video files stroed on the SD card to the storage on your phone. Select the "Record" icon at the bottom of your screen and then from the pull-down menu select "Remote SDCard" to see a list of video files.
@@dkyrtata6688 are the videos recorded on the SD card a better quality than those stored on the app, via streaming?
@@wendigolycan, yes, I think so but you would not notice if you watch the video on a small smartphone screen. I think the video stored on your phone may be 720p while on the SD card it will be 1080p. The app allows you to set the resolution for the recording that goes to the SD card. Strangely, I think that if you are recording on both at the same time, you will have two different resolutions.
I think the rationale for this is that the camera saves on bandwidth or transmission time when it sends a lower resolution video to your phone in which you would not see the difference in quality when you are viewing it from your phone.
@@dkyrtata6688 appreciate it!
I bought this, the wifi doesn't work very well. I finally got it to connect directly. There is a reset button on the back but no instructions on when or how to use it. The connection for the camera disappeared and had to use the reset but had to contact the manufacturer to find out how. First time I used it, had it set to 1080p and the image was absolutely terrible. I will try other settings, the field of view is horrid too. The app has options to move the camera view but it doesn't work with the clock camera apparently. 1080p should be a very nice picture but all I get is blurred video and screen tears. Every 20 to 30 seconds it skips like it lost connection. This is with a direct connection and not thru wifi. Would love to be able to use the wifi connection and view when I am not at home but the setup directions are horrible.
When you press the reset button, it makes the camera broadcast its wifi signal so that you can connect to it from your phone or PC. That connection is necessary to get into the configuration menu. Without that connection, the configuration menu does not show. Once you connect the camera to your home wifi (which is done through the configuration menu), the camera stops broadcasting its wifi signal.
It's true, the camera does not have 1080p resolution. I think the best it gives is 720p. You can tell by examining the properties of the photos it takes. From a PC right-click on the photo, choose properties, and look at the second number of the resolution. You will also notice that photos created from the Live Video screen have a lower resolution that those created by the motion detection alarm.
How can i turn on the camera
Doest work with android phines?
Yes, but the app and camera are no longer supported. Do not buy unless support is reinstated. As it stands now, remote connections are not possible

Not anymore since the app is no longer available. And even if it is, you cannot make a remote connection anymore.

I have spent way to much time trying to get this clock non wifi, non connecting, non operational camera working. I've treid some cheapo cameras and this one is just a mess. I think the app author has had a problem with the app. So you have a clock ,that keeps bad time. Somebody please reply if you find a standalone ip camera software or android app to work with this thing. Also, those having trouble, I have read that gang zheng says to use 2.4G. so you have to get into your home wifi router to make sure you have that available. Recent lightning strike took out cable and even though modem was working , decided to replace it. So,one more step trying to remember how to activate the 2.4G and try some more to get this ip camera working.

Is storing on a cloud?
No there is no cloud service to store the video. And I doubt if anyone is intercepting the footage for dubious purposes.
Where is it saving data,because mine doesnt have sd card and it still saves videos
There are two types of recordings. When you start recording from your smart phone, the video gets stored on storage of your smart phone. But when you schedule the time of when recording occurs (or by motion detection), the video is stored on the camera's SD card
@@dkyrtata6688 tnx,so its not storing on some cloud somewhere?
@@ramin2v2, I highly doubt it. In any case, do not buy this camera since it has been unsupported since Aug/2019. As a result you can no longer connect to it from outside your Wifi network.
So what do u do if it keeps saying offline?
Nothing. Without the P2P server, you cannot get an external connection anymore -- only a wifi connection. The camera is no longer supported. Get a refund if you recently bought it.
Does it support continuous non-stop recording? Does it record audio?
Yes, but the audio on some cameras sold in the US may be disabled to comply with the privacy laws there

And where can i purchase
As long as the P2P servers remain unavailable (ever since Aug/2019), I do not recommend you buy this camera. Even the app it uses has recently been removed from the Google/Apple stores. These problems suggest that the camera has outlived its useful purpose with no future support for it.
How to charge that battery ??
Some cameras have a compartment that you can open. Other cameras have to be opened up with a scree driver and the battery wires have to be cut off.
Since the battery is rechargeable, you should not need to change the battery for a few years
Amazon link
The hotspot name of camera isn't coming plxx help
I did have it working - and now I have the same problem! It no longer shows up
I contacted the seller who contacted the manufacturer. You need to find the reset button and hold it until the clock turns off. Then turn it off and back on. Worked for me, I will say that this is definitely not 1080p. The first video I saw was VERY bad quality with a lot of tearing in the image and it kept skipping and pausing every 20 to 30 seconds.

does not work away from home wifi.. terrible app.. is there a way to connect via browser?
It should work away from home ever since the P2P servers have become operational again in late Nov/2019. That said, a connection may take 10-15 minutes. Hopefully this problem will be resolved in the coming weeks.

DID NOT WORK!! WiFi ONLY
I have a SPYcam webcam model IPCam 2019 firmware version 1.9.8.H hardware v 2.0 bought at auction allegro for about PLN 120. The camera worked only 2 months. from July 1 to around the beginning of September 2019. AFTER this time the application "Login in ..." and later "Request service ...." appeared - the camera could not log in. I thought it was a matter of Router and LTE internet - poor coverage or blocking of Ports in Router. Nothing of that. I have configured dozens of times on different Router / wifi phones always the same. The camera works - it records / records motion, takes pictures and saves on an SD card. Its main "live view" function does NOT work. You cannot log in to the application from another server or LTE. It is practically useless - it does NOT notify when it detects motion - the main function. The seller on the Allegro washes his hands - he claims that this is a manufacturer's fault and he should not hear about the return !! He claims that he contacted the producer. It is BLOCKADE's fault on all servers of these cameras. We don't know when they will fix it.
Yes, it stopped working on Aug26/2019, because the P2P servers were down for almost 3 months. It should work now, but it takes 5-10 minutes to establish a connection. Try again and leave it alone until it connects
I went to look for the app it is not in the play store
