A compact portable video recording device that records when activated. A casing module contains an embedded camera that is connected to a weighted foundational support by means of a variable hinge which can be adjusted in an upward or downward position to adjust the viewing angle. The variable hinge allows the casing module to be aimed in any direction and maintain its position. At the time of activation of the portable video recording device connects using wireless communication. The video data is recorded to a removable memory and may be viewed “live” externally using wireless communication and interfacing with an external device or smart device. Adjusting the portable video recording device to a folded or “off position” stops the local video recording, ends the wireless communications and places the device in an energy conservation state.
