Hidden Spy Camera Alternatives

Right now, a variety of hidden camera devices are available with all shapes and forms. As mentioned in other articles we have glorified the spy pen for its exceptional versatility and how it might be used in all sorts of situations. Despite our praise of this particular device we need to admit that it's not always the best-hidden spy camera for the job. So here is a quick summary on a few of the alternative spy camera products on the market currently.

Spy Glasses This is the product that began the entire hidden spy camera craze; shown in movies they allowed someone to watch what someone else was seeing. At first a tiny camera was hidden within the nosepiece that attached the lenses together. The main factor these nifty little gadgets never really seemed to take off however was the sheer size of the camera embedded inside of the frame. It just made them to large to be discreet. An answer was soon found through sunglasses; their design allowed much thicker rims without revealing the secret of the hidden camera. Only challenge is you can only really use them when it's sunny.

Overall spy sunglasses are great products. The space that camera glasses framework provides allows high quality camera to be installed with other top quality parts. While not offering the very same versatility as a spy pen they are defiantly a fun alternative device.

Clock Cameras (And other stationary devices)

Just one of the least obvious places to ever hide a camera, people began hiding chunky  quality cameras within wall-mounted clocks and other  items. Often placed in devices high up in the room to  secure a good view of the whole room, they have provided full room security for years. They offer no versatility, they are literally a one trick pony, but what a trick. If you're a hidden camera hound like myself you certainly would be lost without one of these variations in your collection.

Pre-disguised Hidden Cameras Some how we have discovered ourselves coming full circle back to the spy pen. We shall make an effort not to keep mentioning it as there are other devices this concept has been used to create, most often common day-to-day products. We've come upon several really weird disguises in our time. The most common of these seem to be tie clips, remote controls, and chewing gum packets. All offer roughly the same quality of recording as each other. The concern we have with these is that they are limited to how you can use them. A good piece of spy equipment should be versatile and always comfortable in its surroundings. These devices are not useable everywhere you go, so failing miserably we find ourselves coming back to the spy pen and stamping it with our highest recommendation.
