Side by Side Comparison of: IBSound vs Toto

Works

Good product.Pros, cheap, nicely designed, uses micro SD card, motion detection mode battery life is good.Cons, low battery life in continuous recording mode, video quality not great low res and poor in low light, camera angle of view very narrow.

Great service - no complaints. Will order again and highly recommended.

Does a good job recording. Good sound and video. I find that the button doesn't always do what I want. Double click will just turn on recording rather than activity delay so I have to pay attention to the blinking.

Very pleased and very reasonably priced, you need to read instructions I did not find any difficulty in using it.

i order two motion detection clothes hooks. They arrived in the 3-5 days range and the items were shipped with cared. Instructions were pretty basic and if your more of a visual learner like me I found plenty of tutorials on YouTube on how to use them. They tend to capture a great image and good quality sound. After charging both hooks and testing them out I did have trouble with JUST ONE of the hooks. The spot where the usb was placed in the hook tends to be a little tight when trying to remove the usb cable from it. As a result the whole usb socket from the hook came off attached with my usb cable and there was no way on earth that hook would ever charge ever again. My word of advice is be VERY gently when removing the usb cable after charging it and you shouldn't have the troubles like I did. I told the seller my problem and got a replacement right away they were really courteous and professional.

I don't get the bad reviews unless this item breaks in a week. I just received and tested it out. The video is very good and the audio within the video file is amazing. I could clearly hear my television from a room away in the video clip. Instructions can be found on YouTube under y2000. I will update if stops working but I am very satisfied as of now. Very small also.

So I got this to add to my Robosapien. It isn't even a hack, per se....as the unit is totally self enclosed. I added a 2G mini SD card that I had on hand, charged it up, and put a plush Velcro dot on the back of the camera and corresponding hook Velcro dot on basically the "belly button" of the Robosapien....easy, instant video capability.....yes, you have to press the button to activate the camera, but it is so easy, it's not a problem, and it doesn't look bad at all.It's pretty cool, I say, and the price was a pittance.

Excellent product. Records video, voice and can be played back through windows media player. Time-stamp on video can be fixed to your time-zone..I give ten stars - you cannot ask for anything more for nine dollars. woooow amazing...

The first one I got did not work so they sent me another one ASAP and it works good.The video and pics are ok, it is fun to play with a sling shot,get some crazy video!All in all not bad for 10$The next one is for my Cheerston cx10 micro drone project!!

I Love this little camera! Yes its kinda a piece of junk but what do you really expect for $8? It truly far exceeds my expectations from an $8 device. It's really not suitable for a lot of purposes, as there are so many better ones better suited to your application. But if you need Super Duper Cheap and mega-tiny and uber-light, and are tech savvy, this thing really is cool! The picture quality is not bad at all. It doesn't perform flawlessly all the time (it locks up sometimes, the clock is hard to set, the AVI files that come out of it are difficult to edit, it takes FOREVER to transfer via USB - way faster to take the Micro SD card out and put it in your computer directly, but you don't have to)...but the darn thing works and only costs $8 bucks!The screen is a tiny sticker, there's no viewfinder or way to review your pictures on the camera. When connected to your PC, you can do any of 3 things simultaneously: just charge, transfer files (it appears as a removable drive), and live-stream / webcam. It needs a real computer to charge, it doesn't charge from a regular USB charger-only. But THE DARN THING WORKS and has DECENT QUALITY FOR AN $8 ALL-IN DEVICE!So why did I buy it when there are so many better cameras? My particular application required the tiniest self-contaned/self-powered camera in existence. I have a super-light model RC plane and I wanted to turn it into a "drone" on the cheap. So for me, for $8 I now can record video from my plane. After doing many flights with it fully assembled (and the camera performed flawlessly even after a few crashes, but the plane didn't love the miniscule extra weight), so I removed the outer casing to even further shed weight and size. The working innards are of course super tiny and yes they work! So now the innards of the tiny camera are part of my plane and it flies almost as fast as without it. Overall I couldn't be happer for my $8 bucks.The video really is decent for being high up in the air. It's no Go-Pro, its way far from HD, but again, its DVD-quality at best, but the thing is light, tiny and only EIGHT BUCKS! So as long as you remember the thing is disposable and probably easily swallowed, the thing really does a bang-up job.

BUTTON INSTRUCTIONS:--------------------Hold for 3 seconds to turn on and enter standby mode; LED stays on.Press once to take a picture; LED blinks once.Hold for 2 seconds to start video capture; LED blinks slowly.Press once to stop video capture; LED stays on.Hold for 4 seconds to turn off; LED turns off.OTHER FUNCTIONS:----------------Plug USB cable into camera and computer. LED Blinks fast as it is charging the battery.Windows 7 automatically installs the driver for storage mode. Removable Storage shows up in Computer then you can access the pictures and videos.While charging, press button once. Removable storage disappears, Windows 7 installs "Imaging devices->USB2.0 Device" webcam.Download and run your favorite webcam software.While charging, press button to toggle between "storage mode" and "webcam mode".TROUBLESHOOTING:----------------You turn it on to standby mode, but the LED blinks fast 11 times then shuts off:- Check that you have a Micro SD card inserted with the label (top) facing the lens. If you do, check that it's formatted for FAT or FAT32. If it is, try pressing the reset button in the front near the LED. You will need a paperclip for this. Then turn it on again. If it's still not staying on, try a different Micro SD card or charge the battery.Change the camera time:- Plug USB cable into camera and computer. It should be in "storage mode". Find or create the text file time.txt created on the Micro SD card and edit file and change to correct time. Example; "2012-05-01 23:59:59". Save it then unplug. Turn it on and the time will be set.________________________________________________________________I don't know how and why people give this a 1 star. What do you expect from a $10 micro video/picture camera?For $10 this thing is really amazing! It's so small which is amazing, and it can record on removable Micro SD which is amazing, it has a USB connection and a built-in rechargeable battery using the USB connection which is amazing, and it records at 30 frames per second (with audio) which is amazing. The plastic casing is normal hard plastic, which is why I don't understand how some people would think that it feels cheap like a toy!?When I first got this the battery was dead, so I had to recharge it. Then it wasn't recognizing my 1GB Micro SD card even though it was formatted for FAT or FAT32. It would turn on, then just turn off after 5 seconds later. So I pressed the reset button on the front then it was able to recognize it and created the necessary directories. The webcam mode worked as expected too.My pictures turn out to be 1280x1024 even through the box states they should be 1280x720. Maybe it's internally 1280x720 stretched to 1280x1024 output, I'm not sure. The video is 720x480 even though the box states it should be 640x480. Again, not sure if internally it sees 640x480 and stretches it to 720x480. I just know all my AVI files are 720x480 no matter what program I use to view the file statistics. I've seen numerous specs on the resolution of this camera, so maybe there's multiple versions passing around?I ordered 2 of these cameras on a Sunday. The first was from a China dealer. Then about 20 minutes later I ordered from a local California dealer. The CA item arrived in 3 days. While the China item arrived in only 9 days. The CA order was a retail package, it came with retail box labeled as a "Y2000 Mini Camcorder" (there seems to be a Y2000, Y3000, and Y5000 models). The China order arrived in an envelope without the retail box, but everything else included was the same. There was no CD in either shipment which was expected, as even the retail box doesn't state that it should come with one. The CD wasn't even necessary as Windows 7 found the camera and installed drivers automatically for storage mode and webcam mode. And I was able to download a free webcam program anyway, there's tons of free ones out there.I haven't tested the length of battery time, but others have and say maybe 40 or so minutes of video? You'd have to test it for yourself.All in all this camera is as advertised. It's cheap, small, and works. The quality is not 1080p clarity, but for the price it's a steal! This technology 15 years ago would have been $1000!!There are better video quality cameras out there, but they are more money than this one. I've talked a coworker into buying two of these from the local seller, and those worked the same as mine.I would highly recommend this camera to anyone.

Does exactly what it ways it does. I love both its work and appearance. It's nothing special I absolutely love this product Very compact, very easy to handle, and pretty! So far so good. Expected More Perfect Gift Ideas! Unhappy. Love it. worked just as I had hoped I really like it. Very nice product! Very, very nice just order early won't dissapoint Others are better. Not fantastic but fine.

Haven't used but looks good..

This is some next level. I love its features. The only reason why I am giving a 4 star and not 5 is because whenever I plug it to my laptop, it says USB not recognized. But still you can use it by taking out the card and using a card reader. I love the motion detection feature. Quality of video sees to be good. The only reason why I took off 1 star was its size. Its looks big.

Yes this works well and I suggest looking it up on you tube for operating instructions. Issue is the lens is slightly zoomed. I had it behind desk but it's too zoomed

This item did exactly what I needed it to. I suspected the after hours cleaning crew at our office had been rummaging through my desk drawers. Three days after hanging it in my office, I checked the video and footage, and it confirmed just what I thought. Although I still can't figure out how to set the date and time even with the instruction manual. Also, the camera hole is noticeable, but that may be just because I know that's what the hole is for. The recording angle is narrow. It took me several tries to get it positioned just right.

Picture and sound quality were suprisingly good. If only I could figure out how to set the time and date, I would give it 5 stars. Anyone have a clue?

I decided to try this camera on a small quadcopter and see what would happen. There is no point in filming at night, because in low light nothing is visible in the video. Just useful for daylight.

I just received it. I think it is so adorable. It took me a bit of time figuring it out. But I finally got it to work. It records and takes pictures. Yes the quality is not perfect it is like when the digital cameras first came out. So to compare to the photography camera now forget it. This mini camera is crap compared to the professional ones. BUT It does work fine. It is worth the price. I think it is great for the price and size. I will place in one picture i took with it. it is a pic it took with the camera turned sideways. I am noticing it takes pics that look zoomed in a bit. I will take more pics and videos another day with it outside. And see how they are compared to indoors.

This camera is really cheap, but the quality you get is surprising. It seems that in full daylight you do get 720p quality. I use this to mount on the end of my airsoft guns, it works perfectly for that. I would recomend this to anyone who doesn't want to spend a bunch of money on a camera, but wants pretty good quality

The first camera was delivered with a defective operating button on the camera, but after contacting the company I received a new camera that, I think, had to be rushed delivered. I used it in one of my model rocket's and the movie of the launch came back with incredible results! It was like having an expensive handheld camcorder inside that rocket. Very pleased. Packing was great for such a small and delicate item. Thumbs up!

It is an amazing little piece of equipment. Just like the picture, it is unbelievable small, so it can be put most anywhere, a cap bill or stick it out a button hole. Twenty years ago, small cameras, not near as small as this one, cost several hundred dollars. At ten bucks it's a giveaway.

Made of fragile plastic parts but what I expected for this item at this price and because of it's micro size. Picture quality is that of a low quality surveillance camera but you would definitely be able to identify the subject in the photos. If you are wanting something small to take quality pictures this is not the one. I rated it four stars because while it is average on quality for it's size it is awesome as a novelty item. If you are looking for a novelty item that actually works this is for you. This would make a cute gift for a photographer friend if you put it on a necklace which is what I am doing with mine. Adorable item. Pleased with what I got for the money.

need help installing!

Hard to work

works well but video quality is not very good

Sits by the back door of our cottage. Great for keeping an eye on the dogs,

Looks fine but definitely foing to be difficult to set up instrucions are basic.

This product worked as described. It recorded decent audio and video. Motion detection also worked. I did have two problems:1. Battery life is quite short. Even in motion detection mode, it only works for about 2 hours before shutting down. Unless the event you are trying to catch occurs in those 2 hours, you will miss it. The short battery life made it unusable for my application.2. The camera field of view is pretty limited. This can most likely be worked around with proper positioning.

Ok

Same thing why did I buy this...

Regular, la batería no aguanta mucho!

I'm not going to say it doesn't work because I have gotten it to work battery is very limited as a webcam or a spycam always-connected to a computer works great walking around with it's just too difficult to figure out if it's taking video or if it's taking a still and you have to use a computer to format it first off which is kind of annoying I was thinking I can pop it in and out of my smartphone but noooo I have to change the video settings in my phone

I've owned quite a few of these small cameras that I use for various applications. I have a small keychain cam that I like (small, can fit in my pocket, can use with my RC helicopters), and it takes good video.As for this camera: It's probably the easiest to use of the small cams I've owned. But it has some limitations. First: The photos are of poor quality, and they are stretched. The look is similar to what you'd get if you took a 4:3 photo and stretched it to a widescreen. It's just odd. The quality of the photo is also a bit sub-par to some of my other small cameras (grainy) That's particularly disappointing as the lens is larger than the other ones that I own. Video is also of lower quality than I'm used to, but thankfully it's better than the photos and not stretched.Then there's the shape of the thing. It looks like a toy camera for a doll. The lens is cartoonishly large in comparison with the rest of it. (The entire package is small overall). But this isn't something you are going to hide too easily as a nanny cam because, well, it looks like a camera. Unless you hide it inside something and cut a peep-hole it's pretty obvious. (Just my thoughts).So, it's an OK camera, and the price is decent. I'll find some application for it, or maybe I'll give it to my kid to play with.

It works pretty much as I expected, video is a bit dark and unstable depending on whether you hold it in your hand or affix it to something that is stable, (like a monitor or table). The instruction are hard to understand as if written by some space alien communicating with humans for the first time. The pictures seem to come out alright though. I haven't been able to get it to work as a webcam yet and I get a continuous tapping or electrical popping sound on all my videos for some reason but other then that the audio seems fine. So for the money it's a great little camera.

none

This device is difficult to use. It does record for a limited time. The battery life is definitely the weak link. I suspect it uses a lot of power even in the standby mode. It lasts about 2 hours in standby mode. I have not tested to see how long it will record in continuous mode. It does zoom in so the field of view is small.

I bought this mainly to use the motion detection which does not work very well. Sometimes it detects and sometimes it doesn't and when it does it will often stay on much longer after the motion has gone. The picture quality and sound quality are reasonable for the price.

I ordered two because its obvious when you take it home to charge and check that something in my office is missing. Well it did catch the thief in my office good enough, but it also started motion recording 90% of the time for nothing, and keeps recording for 30 mins. So even on 8x the speed play back I waste way more time than I wanted reviewing the footage. I guess you could say the motion detection works better than it should, but in a dark office that remains dark it should not turn on.

Cons: Came in a poorly encased box, obviously been opened and used even though I purchased it new...! The command like strip had been previously used as well - had to buy a new strip so it can stick to the wall . It also did not come with any instructions on how to record, had to look up online to figure it out. When I could get it to record the actual file would be corrupted or unable to open ( had to use other media player .) The motion detection is faulty , had to walk right up to it to have it start recording.Pros: It's a decent camera for the price. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Quality of sound and video is high, but it doesn't record for more than 20 minutes. Tried it several times and result is the same.

Battery is horrible. Lasts for maybe and hour and after time it goes down to about 30 mins. Not what I expected at all

I was let down it looks so cute but its functions r low quality it doesn't take I light very well so if ur using it for spy recordings its a bad choice

Haven't been able to figure out how to record I want it to watch my ederly mom while I'm working , only one button just don't understand how to work it

I give 5 stars for the one that works. However, the second one does not record video. It's a bummer because you cannot tell until you try recording and then when finished you then remove the SD card and view. It's a bummer because I am trying to catch my evil nieghbors vandalizing my property, and clearly with the second camera I could have missed an opportunity to catch them.

Very nice, small gadget...But did not hold long time, and photos are not good, so I'm not happy with this for the price I paid !If you like gadget and for short use, then it's OK...

This also as the pen did not work at all. Requested a return and I'm not sure if I got the refund.

the hook was missing from the box - everything else there but the hook itself will update when I receive the product and have the chance to use it

I ordered three of these and took them to Africa with me, unfortunately I didn't try them before I left the US, two of the three never worked does what it wants, regardless of how I set it up it does something different.

This product is absolutely awful. It does not work as advertised. The instructions don't address basic problems and there seems to be no help anywhere.

Didn't work. We bought it to catch our roommates in the act of stealing but the motion detector is faulty and didn't turn on and even recording straight it only records for about 10 minutes. Waste of money. And we had to purchase a memory card for the stupid camera that we can't even return. Piece of crap!! Fake reviews!They sent an email to respond to them before reviewing negatively but they didn't even bother replying. Crap product do not buy.

This does not work. I can power on and stay for some minutes before it goes off. It cannot take a picture or record any video. I read other people's review that was ok, but what I received from amazon was scrap. I had to return it. It was waste of time and money.

Actually, it deserves a zero. Never worked...not once. Junk.

Crapped out within a year. Will not power on or accept a charge. Not bad for its size, but if it no longer functions, it's worthless.

piece of junk do not buy. never could get it to work. waste of money

False advertisement. Product is no where near as high res as seller states. This is just a gimmick. What I ended up doing if you want a hidden camera was use my iphone and prop it so the camera part sticks out your pocket a little bit. Substantially better image quality, and nobody really thinks much of it if they see an iphone sticking out your pocket.

Total scam. This camera is advertised for use as a webcam, but not possible to use because no drivers are available, Some other sellers provide a CD but not here. Can't find anything on internet to download.I don't expect quality pictures or operation from this camera but I do expect it to work and get seller support

absolutely does not work. does not hold the video card. It charges, but basically useless since the video card does not lock in.Instructions are in broken English, not worth the cost even though cheap to begin with. Mass produced crap out of Asia. You get what you pay for.

Looks great in paper and the ad is great, but IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!! At all! The instructions are confusing. I never could find a place to turn it on. Once the camera is charged, it's suppose to have a constant green light and it doesn't. It blinks all the time. I couldn't even see the view hole. It looks and seems it's a toy miniature. Don't buy it. It's a waste!
