The FGH-652 2PACK Mini WiFi Hidden Cameras arrived on my desk promising discreet home security and remote viewing capabilities. This review delves into the performance, ease of use, and overall value of this compact surveillance system. My testing involved several weeks of continuous use in different environments, putting the cameras through their paces.
These tiny cameras boast a range of features, including 1080p HD video recording, motion detection with app notifications, night vision, and a wide 90-degree viewing angle. The setup process, as detailed in the instructions, was relatively straightforward, relying primarily on the accompanying app. The mini size was indeed a highlight, allowing for truly inconspicuous placement.

During my testing, the video quality was consistently sharp and clear during daylight hours. The 1080p resolution delivered excellent detail, though I did notice some minor distortion at the edges of the 90-degree field of view. Night vision performance was surprisingly good, providing usable footage even in near-total darkness. The motion detection feature worked reliably, sending timely alerts to my phone. The app itself was intuitive and easy to navigate, though I did experience occasional lag in live feed viewing depending on my internet connection. The battery life proved slightly shorter than advertised, requiring more frequent charging than initially expected.
I tested the camera’s placement in various locations, including a bookshelf, under a desk, and even cleverly disguised in a plant pot. The small size made these placements entirely unnoticeable.
Pros:
- Compact size allows for discreet placement.
- Good 1080p video quality in daylight.
- Reliable motion detection and app notifications.
- Surprisingly good night vision.
- User-friendly app.
Cons:
- Slight distortion at the edges of the viewing angle.
- Occasional lag in the live feed.
- Battery life could be improved.
- Instructions could benefit from more detailed images.
Overall, the FGH-652 2PACK Mini WiFi Hidden Cameras offer a compelling combination of features and affordability. While there are a few minor drawbacks such as occasional app lag and slightly shorter than advertised battery life, the benefits of its small size, reliable motion detection, and decent video quality outweigh these issues. I would recommend this product to those seeking a discreet and effective security solution for home or small office use.
