Hidden spy cameras and covert spy cameras have been around for a long time. They used to be very cumbersome, difficult to operate and expensive. Technological advances have changed all that and made them smaller, easier to use and very affordable.
The purpose of all spy cameras is to document people doing things they shouldn’t be doing. They previously were used only by law enforcement agencies and private investigators but anymore because of those technological advances, they can be used by anyone to document wrongdoing.
Since, by their very nature, they are covert size does play a role in how effective they are. All spy cameras are hidden inside objects that people are used to seeing all the time either in their home, office or business. You don’t want to draw any attention to them to begin with so the smaller they are the better.
Here are three of the smallest hidden spy cameras. See if one of them doesn’t suit your needs.
1. One of the tiniest is a Bic lighter spy camera. Inside the lighter is a board camera, a high-resolution DVR and a sound activated microphone. It produces excellent video resolution and can record audio and video within a 50 foot range. It also takes still pictures. You can use and support a micro SD card up to 8 GB in size. The sound activation level is 65 dB which is normal speaking volume. To play back, insert this mini DVR into your USB port so you have no messing around with cables.
2. One of my favorites is a new ball Motion Activated DVR. It has a built-in camera, microphone, flash memory, MP3 player and a rechargeable battery. It can be worn around your neck with an included necklace or on your arm with the included armband. It is smaller than a regulation size golf ball. All video is date time stamped.
3. Can you imagine a remote car key fob that has a hidden spy camera inside it? Not only is it a spy camera but it also has a DVR that comes with a 2 GB SD card. It will support up to 16 GB cards. It has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and is 2 inches long and 1.25 inches wide. Another model has a 4 GB ST card included for a slightly higher cost. The included USB cable can be used to download the videos and recharge the car key fob.
These are three of the smallest. Whichever model you choose you can rest assured it will do the job for you-document wrongdoings of others.
