Spy Button Camera Make You Feel Like James Bond
Spy cameras are a favorite item here at FuncFash. Last time we looked at a spy sunglasses that allowed you to record video. Now we are taking a looking at the Micro DVR Button or Screw Camera, a camera that can double as a button on your shirt or an ordinary house screw.
There are two components to the device: the pinhole camera and the DVR recording unit. The recording unit is about the size of a pack of cigarettes (which incidentally you could use to hide the unit) and the camera is the size of a button. After connecting the camera to the recording unit this will allow you to shoot up to 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second…which is pretty darn good for such a small camera. The video below will give you an idea of the quality.
The nice thing also is that there is a viewing screen on the DVR recording unit so you can see the video image as it is played to make sure things are nicely framed and to verify the device is actually working. Plus since they use SD cards your recordings are only limited by the memory limitations the SD card (which I believe is 45 hours).
As you can imagine all this cool technology doesn’t come cheap as this clocks in at $350 (currently it’s on sale). But check out this cool James Bond-like carrying case.
However, looking again at the pictures you really have to be careful what kind of shirt you choose since it looks like you are limited by the colors of buttons. It might look a little suspicious if you have 4 white buttons and 1 brown button that you keep adjusting and asking the person to speak into.
I’ve always been curious as to how people would use spy cameras like this. Here’s a list of things that I can imagine people using the Spy Button Camera for:
- Creating sex tapes
- Getting confessions on tape
- Scoping out places before you rob them
- Catching abusive cops
- Evidence after you’ve been murdered
- Doing your own citizen “undercover” investigations
- …
Anyone know any other reasons someone would use a spy button camera?
