Hidden Spy Camera Selections
At present, a many hidden camera devices are available in all shapes and forms. As mentioned in previous articles we have glorified the spy pen for its amazing versatility and how it may be used in all sorts of situations. Despite our praise of this device we need to admit that it's not always the best-hidden spy camera for the job. So here is a quick list on a couple of the alternative spy camera products on the market today.
Spy Glasses This is the tool that began all of the hidden spy camera craze; portrayed in movies they allowed another person to watch what somebody else was seeing. Originally a small camera was hidden within the nosepiece that connected the lenses together. The main purpose 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 cumbersome 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 brilliant products. The space that camera glasses framework provides allows high quality camera to be installed with other top 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)
Among one of the least obvious places to ever hide a camera, people began hiding chunky high quality cameras within wall-mounted clocks and other objects. Often placed in devices high up in the room to assure a good view of the entire room, they have produced 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 daily products. We've uncovered several really peculiar disguises in our time. One of the most common of these seem to be tie clips, remote controls, and chewing gum packets. All provide roughly the same quality of recording as each other. The issue 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.
