LawMate MU10 Wireless Mouse Spy Camera
- CCTV Lens Guide
- Hard Drive Size Guide
Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution and frame rate settings. Finally you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity.

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb we recommend a minimum of 2 Terabytes per 4 x 2-4MP HD cameras, as this should give you 2 weeks to a month with a few adjustments on motion detected recording. You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast moving.

This is the LawMate MU10, a stationary covert wireless mouse converting your desktop in to a video recording studio.
The LawMate MU10 recorder is a unique video recorder cleverly disguised as an everyday wireless mouse. Once activated, the wireless mouse will power itself via a rechargeable battery for up to 9 days. If used with the supplied cable, it can power from USB indefinitely and then looks like any other wired mouse.
Using the same 5 mega pixel sensor as the approved RC200 key fob, the MU10 Wireless Mouse will capture crisp, clear 720p HD video combined with excellent audio capture. As the video also supports full day/day/date time stamping, this camera will provide Law Enforcement grade video and audio. Using the controls hidden in the rear of the recorder, you can select between video or photo mode and once set-up, you can walk away and leave it for days.
The LawMate MU10 recorder is fitted with a PIR sensor (passive infrared sensor). This allows the recorder to trigger should any heat signature pass in front of the sensor. This is particularly effective as PIR detection operates with much lower power consumption and therefore increases the battery time in standby mode.
Please note that although the MU10 appears to be a fully functional computer mouse, it only looks like one!
