MB1 Mini Battery Camera — Built-In Battery, Low-Power Design and Compact Design
- Built-In Battery — A battery body can go where a socket cannot: inside a cabinet, on a shelf, above a door frame. For a tenant or a pop-up shop that is the difference between having a camera and not. No power-cable restrictions; install flexibly wherever needed.
- Low-Power Design — The camera sleeps deeply and wakes on a PIR trigger or when the app opens. That duty cycle, not the cell size, is what determines how often someone has to climb up and recharge it.
- Compact Design — Small enough to sit among books or on a shelf without being the first thing a visitor notices, which is often the actual requirement in a home rather than a shop.
- Built as one unit, installed as one unit — Screw bracket or magnetic base, no mains run. Nothing else has to be bought to get it running.
- Wholesale without a container commitment — MOQ 50 units, OEM branding from 300 units per model, mixed models allowed in one order so a distributor can test the shape before committing to a pallet.
What the MB1 Is
Mini Battery Camera is a wire-free camera. The MB1 sits in our wire-free range, and the reason it exists as a separate model rather than an option on another body is the housing: it is the shape the electronics were designed around, so the lens, the sensor and the app features match the body rather than being squeezed into it.
Built-In Battery
A battery body can go where a socket cannot: inside a cabinet, on a shelf, above a door frame. For a tenant or a pop-up shop that is the difference between having a camera and not. No power-cable restrictions; install flexibly wherever needed.
Low-Power Design
The camera sleeps deeply and wakes on a PIR trigger or when the app opens. That duty cycle, not the cell size, is what determines how often someone has to climb up and recharge it. Auto-wakes on motion or viewing, returns to smart sleep to maximise battery life.
Compact Design
Small enough to sit among books or on a shelf without being the first thing a visitor notices, which is often the actual requirement in a home rather than a shop. Small, discreet form factor that blends into virtually any space.
More Than One Housing
The same electronics are built in 3 exterior designs, so a retailer can stock a white body for a living room and a darker one for an office without adding a second supplier, a second app or a second set of paperwork. Any of them can be specified on the purchase order.
Installation and Power
Screw bracket or magnetic base, no mains run. Power is built-in rechargeable battery. The camera pairs to the app over Wi-Fi, and the whole range uses one app — so a buyer who starts with this unit and later adds a doorbell or a feeder does not install a second account.
Storage, Alerts and the App
Recording goes to a TF card and to cloud storage, so the same footage survives a stolen card and a dead camera. Alerts are filtered before they reach the phone: motion, person and vehicle are separated, which is what keeps an alert list readable after a month. Everything runs from one app across the range.
Why a Distributor Would Stock This
“Built-In Battery” is the claim the packaging has to survive, and it does because the specification behind it is narrow and checkable rather than a list of adjectives. Stock one or two units for a demo, order mixed with the rest of the range, and the shape sells itself on a shelf next to the models either side of it.
Packing and Loading
Unit weight, colour-box size and carton quantity are quoted on the PI for the exact configuration ordered. Mixed models can share a carton, and container loading is calculated per order rather than per model, which is how a first order stays small enough to test the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in the box?
Camera body, Mounting bracket and fixings, USB charging cable, Quick-start card and the bilingual manual. Nothing else has to be ordered to get the camera running.
What is the minimum order?
MOQ is 50 units, mixed models allowed. OEM branding — logo, retail box, manual and app skin — starts at 300 units per model. Send the target market and we quote with carton and pallet data.
How is it powered?
Built-in rechargeable battery. Battery models are charged over USB-C and the panel or dock is quoted with the order.
Where does the recording go?
To a TF card and to cloud storage. Card capacity and cloud plan options are confirmed on the PI for the market you are selling into, because the two differ between regions.
Which app does it use?
The same app as the rest of the range, so one installer can support every model. OEM customers can have the app skin branded from 300 units per model.
Are the certifications included?
CE, RoHS and FCC documentation is available for the models sold into the EU, UK and US. Which certificates cover which housing is confirmed in writing with the quotation — ask before you commit, because a certificate issued for one body does not automatically cover another.
Can I see a sample first?
Yes. A single sample ships at unit price plus freight, and the cost is credited against the first production order. For a shape this new to your market, a sample is cheaper than a wrong pallet.

Where the MB1 fits in the range
MB1 joins the Wire-free camera range as a separate model rather than an option, because the housing is what the electronics were designed around. Buyers who need a different lens count or a different power source are one page away in the same category, and every model shares the same app, the same manual style and the same packing logic — which is what keeps a mixed order simple.
It sells to distributors covering security and smart home. The specification is deliberately narrow and checkable: three claims, each one visible on the unit, rather than a page of adjectives that a buyer cannot verify before the container lands.
