The Hidden Spy Camera

Not all that many years ago, the idea of a hidden spy camera was the stuff of movies, novels and FBI agents exclusively.  Not anymore, today anyone who wants to delve into the world formerly reserved for spies can easily afford a tiny camera. The choices are numerous and many online retailers offer entire camera kit systems.

For just over $100 it is possible to buy a complete hidden spy camera system that features full color and audio.  These kits feature a wireless pinhole camera complete with a bracket to hold the camera in place as well as a receiver to transmit the images. The camera can operate with a 9volt battery or with an adaptor. 

With a range of up to 200 feet, these mini cameras can capture images and activities in most household areas. Cables and adaptors included in the kit make it easy to connect the receiver to your television or DVD player.  The versatility of these little gems allows them to work both indoors and outdoors.

For those who truly want to bring the James Bond experience to life, the smallest version of the hidden spy camera is the Spy Pen Camera.  These cameras look exactly the common barrel type ink pen and can be worn in a shirt pocket without detection.  They have become a favorite of law enforcement officers to supplement the video cameras in their police cars. 

The amazing thing about these camera pens is that they can be purchased for less than $50, in fact most are in the $30-$35 range. They record both audio and video and function as a USB drive.  Most feature a simple “off/on” recording button at the top of the pen.

Shopping online is the best way to review the numerous choices that are available in the micro-camera area.  A hidden spy camera is well within the financial reach of most consumers today. Whether you want to watch your Nanny or record your boss, there’s sure to be an option for you.
