I suppose you could call it a Nanny-cam, just like the one seen in Meet the Parents and The Nanny Diaries. Unlike the cameras put on stuffed animals, this one looks like an ordinary clock.

Assuming you think that an atomic clock is ordinary. Yes, this is one of those clocks that will always be accurate, and if the batteries run out, the clock will be back on time when they get replaced. Looks like it can also do the temperature as well.

As for the camera itself, it can sense body heat from 30 feet away, and then starts to film. It can shoot 20 hours of 640 x 480 video onto an inserted SD memory card. Hopefully, that is enough time to get the footage that you need. By the way, it can run for a year on the included Li-ion battery.

So for all you control freaks who need security camera footage with an always accurate timestamp should head over to the Marquis Security Cameras site and lay down $649. Hey, I didn’t say that this type of control would be cheap.

The SPY Wireless Camera Pen + PMP comes in two parts, a transmitter and a receiver. The Transmitter is the pen itself, that transmits with 2.4 GHz. It has a rechargeable battery powered by USB and shoots 640 x 480 video with a lens that no one would ever see unless they looked really close. The lens is positioned perfectly for secret shooting in one’s breast pocket.

The receiver is essentially a PMP with a 3.5 inch screen. Not only can it pick up what the camera is seeing, but it is good for playing all kinds of formats, such as MP3, WMA, MP4, FLV, not to mention JPEGs and e-books. It has 2GB worth of memory built in to it, and expandable with the TF/Micro SD Card slot. It also has a TV out so you can see what you want on a bigger screen.

Not bad for a price of $159. You can get it right now if you head over to the Brando Site.

Listening in on the neighbors is always way too tempting to resist.  If your walls are just a little too thick, you can pick up this handy gadget to help you out.  Instead of trying the usual trick of pressing a glass against the wall, you could have an actual gadget do the job.  Plus, this is far more portable than carrying around a glass.  Although keep in mind, the seller does warn that some countries do actually prohibit the ownership of spy devices.  Which makes it seem all the more awesome.

The device has an earphone jack to make it possible to listen.  It also has an on/off switch, a volume dial and a built-in rechargeable battery.  It will work on doors, windows, steel plates, walls and more.  To use it, just press the metal device up against the wall and listen in through your earphones.  You can purchase it for $62.99 from China Grabber.

This CanCam has 4GB worth of memory to record VGA quality video that can support 15 hours of continuous recording. As you can see, the lens is located slightly below the logo.

The on and off switch is located underneath the can itself, as well as the record button. There is a USB port there to help charge the camera, and is presumably there to download the video footage as well. It even has a remote control for even more secrecy.

You could leave this on your desk all day and feel comfortable knowing that all the actions of your co-workers will be under surveillance. Unless someone comes and looks too close, no one will ever know.

Of course, I’m sure people will probably wonder why someone has the same Coke can on their desk 24/7. I can’t help but wonder if the weight of the CanCam feels the same as a full can of soda, because that could easily ruin the effect.

If you want to see it for yourself, the CanCam can be purchased at the China Grabber website for a price of about $61.99.

Drop this into your child's backpack and keep track of them where ever they go.

There’s a nifty little device being sold at Best Buy which keeps track of your kids everywhere they go. It’s called the Little Buddy GPS Tracker and it uses global satellite positioning and cellphone technnology to help parents keep track of kids. And the best part is, parents can place the Little Buddy just about anywhere from backpacks to lunch boxes to even stick it into their pockets when they aren’t looking.

The accompanying website shows your child's exact location and can even send an SMS text should they move out of a designated area.

About the size of a USB thumb drive, the Little Buddy transmits GPS location data where parents can monitor a child’s whereabouts. And for $100, it’s a very affordable way to keep track of busy kids who can lose track of time and don’t show up when parents expect them to. It even has an SMS Text message option which will alert parents when children leave the designated area.

And the device is so popular, that Best Buy can’t keep it in stores. It’s on back order already.

Hat Tip – Engadget

Brando always seems to think they need about 20 different choices for miniature spy cameras.  Although I can appreciate the overabundance of selection, at some point it almost becomes overkill.  However, at least you’ll never find yourself wishing for more choices when you’re looking for a spy camera to catch someone in the act with.  Now here’s another fake car key with a tiny camera hidden within.

This isn’t the first time they’ve used a fake car key to hide a camera, but this one features a slightly more rounded design.  Perhaps it’ll blend in better than the rectangular design for those of you with incredibly expensive cars.  The image resolution is at 1600 x 1200 pixels and the color video resolution is at 640 x 480.  It has 29 FPS and has built-in audio.  It also features the usual rechargeable Li-ion battery and a Micro SD/TF card slot.  You can purchase one of these for $36 or purchase one with a 8GB card for $63 from Brando.

There are all types of spy gadgets out there, the trick is finding the one that blends in the most with your style.  After all, if you have top of the line electronics everywhere, a cheap alarm clock is going to stand out.  If you have very sparse college room type furniture then a tissue box holder with a camera in it is probably going to raise some eyebrows.  Well this tiny clock is just one of the many ways you can spy on people while you’re away.

Some might find it a touch paranoid that you have video surveillance going on, but if it helps you sleep at night, then it’s worth the cash.  This tiny camcorder is built into the clock and has a built-in rechargeable Li-Battery.  That battery will work for up to 2 hours of continuous use.  It has 4GB of built-in memory and then is able to use a USB flash drive.  It hooks up to your computer to swap out data and charge through a USB cable.  It has a switch on and off button that will kick on a light that only briefly twinkles to let you know it’s working.  You can purchase the camera for $47 from Gadget Brando.

These keyloggers act as the “man-in-the-middle,” monitoring each keystroke as it flies down your cable into your computer. You notice nothing, since every key you type gets dutifully reproduced on your screen. Somewhere, however, you’ve got a sneaky person quietly recording everything, just waiting for you to step away for a few minutes so they can retrieve the offending device and play back everything. The logger saves every keystroke into onboard memory. To read the contents, remove the logger and connect it to your own computer and keyboard. Typing in a password into any text-editor begins the memory-dump process.

Available in USB or PS/2 interface models, the Spy Keylogger will retail for $59.99 and $74.99, respectively.

All that’s required is to slot the Snoop Stick into a USB port and run the installation program that appears. To remotely monitor your PC, all you need to then to is to insert that same SnoopStick in any Internet-capable computer’s USB port and choose “Connect and View Remote Activity.” The SnoopStick will then start displaying what the computer is accessing on the web, or any IM conversations, as well as email activity and software used. You can also download and view the activity logs that the Snoop Stick software has recorded. Snoop Stick can also take screenshots automatically at pre-set intervals, or whenever websites are accessed. You can also send messages to anyone using the computer, and you can also remotely cut off Internet access, log off all users, or shut down the computer. It’s also possible to set up the Snoop Stick to watch out for certain key words or to monitor when specific websites are being accessed.

Sounds like the perfect covert device, eh? The USB Snoop Stick is the right device for folks who want to know what their kids are up to with the computer, and is legal where private investigators or law enforcement activity are concerned. Expect to fork out £74.95 for this puppy.

The Eye Ball R1 can give troops a better view of enemy positions with a simple toss.

There’s a great scene in the Cartoon Network original Star Wars Clone Wars series where Arc Troopers, pinned down and badly needing a fresher perspective, take a spherical probe droid camera and toss it high in the air. The camera gives the troopers a birds eye view of the entire city around them, spotting enemy positions and giving them great advantage when attacking. Well, someone must be a Star Wars geek because Uncle Sam and Remington Technologies have created the Eye Ball R1 Throwable Camera System.

It can’t float high in the year, yet, but this compact, lightweight, spherical camera is designed for high risk tactical situations for military and law enforcement to get a vital viewpoint of what’s going on where they can’t see.

The completely Eye Ball R1 System

Once deployed by a good, strong toss, the Eye Ball R1 can capture video up to 25 yards away and broadcast it wirelessly to their position to a personal display unit (PDU) at up to 200 yards from where it lands. Audio can also be broadcast as well. The PDU can view two Eye Ball R1s at the same time and in full color to it’s 6 1/2″ LCD screen.

In close quarters, the Eye Ball could save lives by seeing around corners.

And what else is cool, is that the Eye Ball is omni directional, rotating at 4 revolutions per minute to identify any potential targets and provide up to a 55 by 41 degree field of view. And if the camera lands upside down, the camera image can be flipped by the operator.

The Eye Ball R1 can operate for a maximum of 2 hours, while the PDU can run for 3 hours. But expect that to increase as the technology matures. And only Arc Troopers know if it’ll every fly.

Hat Tip – Defense Review

There are all different types of products that hide little cameras within them.  Some are as small as keychains and others slightly larger objects like tissue boxes or other random items.  Some of which if inspected very closely at all, someone would notice that something wasn’t quite right.  Well this Sony Dream Machine Camera might actually keep people plenty fooled.  It’s already an electronic, so having a lot of buttons isn’t something that’s out of the ordinary.

Besides being a hidden camera, it also functions as a clock for wherever  you need a camera.  It will record video both day and night, come night time it will just conveniently switch to night vision all on its own.  It can record in real-time and flip on automatically when it senses any motion.  It can also take pictures instead of shooting video.  You can set it to record on specific days and times or set it to the motion sensor.  You can purchase it for $599.95 from the Sky Mall.

The Spycam Video Sunglasses are not intended to be part of any disguise – they are the disguise – concealing a tiny video camera in the center of the glasses. Capable of capturing excellent quality video and audio, these Spycam Video Sunglasses can be comfortably worn nearly anywhere to help you get the footage. Video is stored in AVI format on a Micro SD card. These glasses also feature easy-to-use controls which are located on the glasses frame. The built-in battery is rechargeable via USB connection and has a battery operating life of about 3-4 hours.

Would you drop $149.99 for this, or do you prefer other kinds of spy gadgets which are even more discreet?

If you thought that the keychain spy camera wasn’t quite stealthy enough, this car key might work a little bit better.  Just close up the key part and it would cover up all of the spots that let on that it’s actually a spy camera in disguise.  Closing up the key won’t obstruct the view of the camera itself though.  There’s just a small hole at the bottom of the plastic part, that no one would ever suspect is a camera.

This fake key comes from Brando just like the keychain.  It’s also extremely similar, the biggest difference is that they are two different shapes.  This fake key has 2GB of built-in memory and can shoot at 29 FPS.  The color video resolution is at 640 x 480 and then the image resolution is 1280 x 960 pixels.  It has video as well as audio and a rechargeable Li-ion battery.  You can purchase it for $66 from Brando, which happens to be the exact same price as the keychain.  So you can pick and choose which look you like the best and not have to worry about price differences.

This is a hidden surveillance spy camera disguised as a shirt button with a pocket sized DVR and all the necessary cables included in one complete kit. This high tech camcorder allows you to record directly onto a small mini-SD digital video recorder. The recorder includes a 2″ LCD viewing screen, so you can setup your shot and see what results to expect before you do your in-the-field recordings. In addition, this model allows you to record both color video and audio in AVI format, with 30 FPS quality. The small pinhole button camera can be DIY installed on any shirt or jacket. Included are multiple matching buttons in a variety of sizes to help you make your shirt modifications. You can even paint the buttons if needed to get a perfect match. The compact DVR recorder unit is easily concealed in a pocket.

Creepy stuff, but if you’re adamant on getting one of these, be prepared to fork out $149.99 for this device. Just hope that nobody else catches you with your pants down (literally or otherwise) using the same device when you think nobody else is looking…

The Rescue Reel is designed for the user to hook the Rescue Reel in a secure place, put on the harness, and they lower themselves down with automatically controlled centrifugal braking. I would imagine that the experience would be like repelling down a mountain cliff, except it probably won’t be fun if you ever really had to use it.

Still, designer Kevin Stone is clearly on the right track when it comes saving lives from tall buildings. Something tells me that it was designed to combat the horrific images that we still have from the Trade Center Tower attacks. Unless someone designs the next 100 story building with massive fire escapes, history will repeat itself when disaster befalls a skyscraper again.

Of course, this is one device that had better have plenty of line, and designed to hold some overweight people. Also, do you really want to be in an emergency situation where you have to learn how to use it in the next few seconds, or else you will die?

I am guessing that OSHA would be all over these devices if they ever become reality. I would also imagine that Rescue Reels would be located on the walls under red-framed glass, like firehoses or axes.

Yeah, I can see a definite future for the Rescue Reel, and it can give others a future.

Remotes to go with your car are so incredibly common that no one would notice anything odd about this keychain.  It’d just look like your average keychain unless someone actually bothered to inspect it closely.  Odds are, no one is all that observant, nor do they have any need to be.  Well if you’re just dying to catch someone doing something shameful, this keychain can help you catch them in the act.

It can take both video, audio and pictures, all depending on what you need at that particular moment.  They’ll never know that you just captured proof of them up to no good until it’s too late.  That is unless you’re entirely too obvious by the way you’re holding the keys.  Asking them to speak into the keychain might be a touch too obvious.  It has a rechargeable Li-on battery and 2GB of built-in memory.  It can do 29 FPS, 1280 x 960 image resolution and 640 x 480 color video resolution.  You can purchase the keychain for $66 from Brando.

If you tend to wear shirts on a regular basis with highly plain black buttons, then you could have a little fun and wear this spy cam.  Of course for those of you that don’t have a shirt filled with black buttons, you’d have to go out and purchase one.  The spy cam just attaches to your shirt and you can then begin taking pictures of deviant activities.  It’s unlikely that anyone would ever be able to spot the camera on you.

You put the ring on and then to activate the camera, you just place the ring near it.  Then when you’re not using it, you can just casually wear the ring.  Of course, the ring might look a little odd on women and they don’t list the size.  So there could be issues there.  The video resolution is 608 x 488 pixels and the image resolution is 1200 x 1600 pixels.  It has 4GB of built-in memory, audio and a rechargeable Li-on battery.  You can pick it up for $96 through Brando.
