Camera and Photo Surveillance Cameras Hidden and Spy Cameras
Harbor fantasies of spying on your least favorite neighbors or otherwise using hightoy, a spy camera could be the right move for you.
Hiding in Plain Sight
Guaranteed to help you live your out your childhood espionage fantasies (if those fantasies involved hanging around Q and playing with neat toys), there are a myriad of spy cameras that look like other things: think spy pens, think watches, think sunglasses, car keys and lighters. These portable little cameras can help you record anything with a maximum of sneakiness, even if you're just trying to prove you did not in fact park too close to that fire hydrant. A few small drawbacks: they have limited battery and limited storage capacity. Additionally, the cameras found in most handheld devices make spy cameras redundant, if still really cool.
A Spy Network
Feeling a little more serious about security? The trend of cameras that look like other things continues, with false smoke alarms and digital clocks, among other things. You can also find tiny cameras that can be hidden within other household objects. These devices can hook into a greater home surveillance system that itself is tied to your computer or television/DVR. These cameras may become obvious over time, but because they are plugged in to a power source, they never need a recharge. They also have fewer problems with memory. The downside is they're useless in a blackout unless the device has back-up power.
