Sweet day. I want a button-hole camera.
This morning I saw a clip of some Air Force Academy cadet whose roommate left a secret camera in the room. Though I think I'd probably want to sue somebody who did this to me, the cadet in question apparently approved of the release of the resulting footage. It showed him dancing to some pop music and getting pretty funky with it all.
I know a guy who bought the X-10 back when it was the subject of all those popups. He said it never really worked very well. I've found a much better variety of spy cameras at Pakatak. They've got all the standard stuff -- digital cameras are easy to make silent and IR or night vision responsive. But some of the cameras are specifically designed for concealment. That means they're sneaky!
One, for instance, has a front piece that looks like a button. But you'd have to have a golf-ball-sized cavity in your chest just behind the button to get away with that one. (Okay, so you disguise it as a shirt that you just didn't put away last night. And left conveniently hanging over your chair just so, and nobody is to disturb it, see?)
Okay. But just a small camera with a wireless transmitter. Think of all the opportunities! My dad and I used to talk about a game we'd like to play with remote control robots with lasers and targets. Wireless video cameras to provide a robots-eye-view of the mini battleground would be so cool.
Some of you may be asking, "Tom, why do you want one of those?" I'm sure you also wonder why I want to build a 3d camera with mirrors and wood planks. And why I'm always humming Japanese techno music.
The point is, your opinion isn't important. :o)
Someday, I will have my remote controlled, wireless video enabled robot. And I will rule the world.
