Covert Spy Cameras

Recording Camera with Motion Detection hidden in PIR

Dan Harrison — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:12:56 +0000

A perfect covert spy camera if you have a burglar alarm installed in your home or office. Since the camera is installed in a passive infrared (PIR) case, the camera will just blend into the background as being part of the alarm system. The spy camera will automatically switch on and record full-motion video whenever someone moves within the wide field-of-view of the motion detector. After a pre-set period, the camera will then automatically switch off when no further motion is detected.

Key Benefits

Concealed within a pervasive PIR unit, which means it blends into any existing alarm system and doesn’t draw any attention.
Perfect for installing in the home or the office, for longer-term surveillance.
Features motion detection, therefore only recording video when movement or heat is detected. Which means you don’t need to sift through hours of dull video footage.
High definition CCD lens offering 420 TV line quality. This means video footage is packed with detail.
Operates for up to 4 hours on a single battery charge, which means you don’t need to add any complex wiring to get this covert camera working.

High Definition Recording Spy Camera – in a Diving Watch

Dan Harrison — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:48:01 +0000

Here’s a particularly practical covert spy camera that’s been hidden in a waterproof diving watch, which can survive water depths of up to 30 metres. The camera lens is on the face of the camera, at the 12-o’clock position. The camera is really simple to use, where you can operate the camera from a single button. This is probably the most covert type of wearable spy camera you can buy, allowing you to covertly record video and take pictures in pretty much any situation.

Since it’s a watch, it looks completely natural when wearing casual and formal clothing, so you can always have your spy camera with you.

Where you only want a single photograph, the camera can take a photo up to 5 megapixels in resolution, which is pretty close in terms of picture quality to most modern digital cameras.
The watch has 4GB of internal flash memory, which means you don’t need to buy any additional memory cards to get the watch working.

High Definition Recording Spy Camera – in a Pen

Dan Harrison — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:54:05 +0000

A covert spy camera that’s been hidden in a slightly larger than average pen. The pen is the kind of size you’d expect from a very high quality pen, rather than a cheap disposable pen. Since the pen looks more expensive, it will seem perfectly normal to have the pen in a suit pocket, or on a conference table. The camera is perfect for secret recording, and can start recording either manually, continuously, or when activated by sound. This spy camera has a particularly high resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels.

Key Benefits

A realistic looking pen – which looks perfectly natural in any formal or office environment.
A pen is a useful item to have on your person anyway, so you’re likely to have the spy pen with you.
High definition colour camera (1280 pixels x 960 pixels), which is one of the highest resolutions currently on the market.
Records 3 hours of video on a single charge, which is perfectly long enough for most ad-hoc operations.
Where you only want a still photograph, the camera can take a photo up to 2 megapixel in resolution, just by clicking a button. Ideal if you only want a few pictures rather than full video.
At 2MP, you should be able to make out the words on an A4 document from an image captured with this spy pen.
Only 45g in weight, so you’ll barely notice it in your pocket.

Features

This camera can record up to 12 hours of full colour XVGA (1280 x 960 pixels) video at 30 fps with audio on the internal 8GB storage.

Video resolution: 1280 x 960 pixels (XVGA)
