Pinhole Security Camera 1080p Video Surveillance Demo

Watch this 1080p video surveillance demo that was recorded using our MINI-CN4 pinhole security camera. The MINI-CN4 is our smallest pinhole camera, measuring only 25mm x 25mm x 18mm.

Pinhole Lens

Here is a close look of the small pinhole lens of the MINI-CN4. It is important to note that only the tiny end of the cone-shapes lens needs to be exposed in order to capture video surveillance footage. TheU-shaped mount makes it easy to install this camera inside of objects. This tiny CCTV camera can be used in a security gate call box, ATM, and hidden spy camera applications.

Security Gate Callbox Installation

The above picture shows how the MINI-CN4 camera be installed inside of a security gate callback at an HOA community. It is very common for gated communities to record the faces of all of the guests that enter the property.

ATM Pinhole Camera Installation

Here you can see how the MINI-CN4 pinhole camera can be installed inside an ATM at a bank. Almost all automated teller machines have security camera installed in them to record the faces of people using the ATM.

Pinhole Spy Camera

Here is an example of a hidden pinhole spy camera that we made at CCTV Camera Pros using a MINI-CN4. We drilled a small hole into the front cover of an old Internet cable modem that we no longer use and mounted the pinhole camera to the back of the front cover. This is just one of many possible hidden spy camera applications that can be installed using this camera.

Hybrid Analog CCTV / HD-over-Coax

The MINI-CN4 supports 4 video formats: analog CCTV (CVBS), AHD, HD-TVI, and HD-CVI. This makes it compatible with almost all surveillance DVRs including older analog CCTV DVRs and the latest HD security camera DVRs. The video resolution of analog mode is 960H (960 x 420). The video resolution of AHD, HD-TVI, and HD-CVI video modes is 1080p / 2 megapixel (1920 x 1080 pixels).
