My brother has a "smoke detector" but he has internet so no idea if it'll work without internet.
I'm not who you think I am.

Depends what youre looking to get out of it. Do you need to record small segments? Do you want a running loop? There are plenty of cheap ones out there, but are you looking for something more expensive?

Running loop. Nothing too expensive...

Do you want something portable? What about storage and power?

Something like this maybe?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DX8Z183#Ask

There are also cameras hidden in smoke detectors (plenty of models without a need for internet), wall hooks (B&H has one), alarm clocks, etc. The USB charger ones look simple because there's no installation, battery, etc, although I guess an alarm clock would do the same.

The one in your link requires Wi-Fi, but I will check out your other suggestions. Thank you very much

I've been having packages stolen from my mailroom. was wondering if anyone can suggest a spy camera that is very inconspicuous ?(unrelated to my original request when I opened this thread, in case you were wondering)

If packages are being stolen, he'll probably end up losing the phone...

Lol I first wrote camera then I thought to myself but what happens if the person steals this package. So I changed it to phone thinking that if the person does steal it at least you'll be able to track it. Yeah welcome to my brain...

Ha! Well now that I see you thought it through, it's more understandable. I'd like to spend some time with your brain. Let me know when he's (she? They?) free.
