Hidden Spy Camera Selections
Today, a number of hidden camera devices are available in all shapes and forms. As mentioned in other articles we have glorified the spy pen for its magnificent versatility and how it may possibly be used in all sorts of situations. Despite our praise of this device we will have to admit that it's not always the best-hidden spy camera for the job. So here is a quick summary on some of the alternative spy camera products on the market currently.
Spy Glasses This is the device that began all of the hidden spy camera craze; shown in movies they allowed another person to watch what somebody else was seeing. At first a small 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 within the frame. It just made them to large to be discreet. An answer was soon discovered in the form of 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 great products. The space that camera glasses framework provides allows high quality camera to be placed with other good components. While not offering the same versatility as a spy pen they are defiantly a fun alternative device.
Clock Cameras (And other stationary devices)
Among one of the least obvious places to ever hide a camera, people began hiding chunky premium cameras within wall-mounted clocks and other items. Often placed in devices high up in the room to secure a good view of the entire room, they have delivered 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 just 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, usually common day-to-day products. We've come across several really strange disguises in our time. Among 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 trouble 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.
