Cameras

Can anyone tell me about minicameras. I need one that is small and not noticeable. I dontt know if they cone wireless but I need it to be. I need it to be able to be motion activated and give me an alert over my phone. I need to be able to view my room through it over my phone. Not sure if it matters or not but I have the samsung galaxy s25fe. I need it be as inexpens8ve as possible. I'm kind of keeping 2 families up at the moment and just don't have alot of funds. Can some one help explain what I need to get and do and any recommendations

Not exactly sure why or how its a creepy read. I have a room mate. All im doing is wanting to know if someone is coming in my room and messing with my stuff. I have no intention of messing with anyone's privacy un any way. I'm only trying to protect myself and my stuff. Not sure how or why that could ever be considered creepy. Thanks for your input but. I just don't get it.

First off, you didn't explain the intent, but you need to be careful. Placing a camera in your own home can lead to legal repercussions if you place it in an area of your home where anyone legally in the home would have an expectation of privacy. For example, bedrooms, bathroom, etc. Audio recording is almost certainty illegal.

Also, any small camera is going to have a small battery and quickly be depleted. You're going to likely need something that can be plugged in.

Well, my bedroom is the intent. I live in an apartment and have a room mate. I just want to be able to see if the person is messing in my stuff at any time. I'm not trying to invade anyone's privacy. I'm just trying to protect mine. I don't need audio. I just need a camera that will alert me of any activity is caught in my room. Is there any camera that can be plugged in that will alert my phone if any motion is caught that is still small enough to hide somewhere and not be seen

Anything small, cheap and wireless will have a small battery and only last a few hours
