Hidden Pen Introduce
A hidden camera is a still or video camera used to film people without their knowledge. The camera is “hidden” because it is either not visible to the subject being filmed, or is disguised as another object. Hidden cameras have become popular for household surveillance, and can be built into common household objects such as smoke detectors, clock radios, motion detectors, ball caps, plants, and cellphones. Hidden cameras may also be used commercially or industrially as security cameras.
Spy Pen Categora:
Video Spy Pen - You can slip it in to your pocket, then click the button for instant color pictures and audio recording. The picture quality is high, the audio is clear enough.
You can easily attach the receiver to a TV or VCR to record your surveillance footage.
The only issue is you need the receiver (you get this included) to be within 100 meters and in line of sight of the spy pen – this does limit your uses for using a video spy pen so unless highly important a combination of the still camera pen and the audio pen offer great mobility and detailed surveillance possibilities.
Digital Image Spy Pen - The pen is totally self sufficient and can be carried anywhere - perfect for on the move surveillance.
This digital camera spy pen looks totally normal and writes totally normal as well. No one will know that you’re taking their picture. The 36 pictures it stores in its 2MB memory are good enough in quality for recording documents, files or regular images. The focus and exposure is all auto, and the battery life seems very long (they say 500 pictures but it seems more).
Audio Spy Pen Camera - The audio spy pen is another one suited for “on the move” surveillance (it’s worth considering to take both; a still image and an audio spy pen to cover all eventualities.
My favorite audio spy pen is digital, has 128 MB of memory, can record up to 8 hours of audio - it can be carried and used anywhere. You can disguise it as a key-ring with the parts included and it is internally rechargeable – no batteries to replace.
Advice on purchasing a digital SLR camera
Those close to me know that I am passionate about photography and as a result I often get asked for advice on what cameras to buy. Here’s what I generally tell my friends.
Photography is more about art than it is about science. As a result, the quality and capabilities of your equipment only gets you so far. In the end it’s up to the photographer to make a great photograph. Keeping this in mind I first recommend that people not go overboard when buying equipment (unless you are full of disposable income and a gadget geek – I can truely relate, to the latter point anyway). You should look for certain features that make it easier to make great photographs.
Based on my experience I have determined that the three most important qualities in camera equipment are: digital SLR camera
- Speed
- Image quality
- Form factor
After explaining what I look for in these qualities I will give you my recommendations on equipment. I’ll then provide a few links to great resources for learning more.
