Hidden Spy Camera Alternatives
Today, a number of hidden camera devices are available in all shapes and forms. As mentioned in earlier articles we have glorified the spy pen for its astonishing versatility and how it may be used in all kinda situations. Despite our praise of this device we have to admit that it's not always the best-hidden spy camera for the job. So here is a quick view on a few of the alternative spy camera products on the market right now.
Spy Glasses This is the product that began the entire hidden spy camera craze; illustrated in movies they allowed somebody else to watch what another was seeing. Initially a small camera was hidden within the nosepiece that linked the lenses together. The main reason these nifty little gadgets never really seemed to take off however was the sheer size of the camera embedded in the frame. It just made them to bulky to be discreet. An answer was soon found through sunglasses; their design allowed much thicker rims without giving away the secret of the hidden camera. Only concern is you can only really use them when it's sunny.
Overall spy sunglasses are fantastic products. The space that camera glasses framework provides allows good quality camera to be built with other high quality elements. While not offering the exact 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 superior quality cameras within wall-mounted clocks and other objects. Often placed in devices high up in the room to provide a good view of the whole room, they have administered full room security for years. They offer no versatility, they are honestly 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 found 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 everyday items. We've stumbled upon several really odd disguises in our time. Probably the most common of these seem to be tie clips, remote controls, and spy glasses chewing gum packets. All deliver 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 tools 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.
