Spy Cameras
A Spy Camera is a type of micro DVR which is built into a deceptive package and made to resemble a small object, such as a key fob, a wrist watch, or a lipstick case. Known by numerous terms such as cam stick, gum cam, thumb cam, etc., these devices will often function according to their apparent purpose, as in a pen cam that actually writes. Spy cameras are used by many private investigators to assist in their investigations and surveillance.
Starting in 2008, spy cams became increasingly popular due to their falling prices. This was a consequence of advances in flash memory technology, which made available cheap, surface-mount chips of over a gigabyte capacity, which meant that the cams could typically record over an hour of video onto built-in memory before needing to offload their recorded content.
A typical spy cam runs off of a rechargeable lithium ion or lithium polymer battery, has small, colored LEDs to indicate its operational status, and is controlled by switches and/or buttons on its surface. It may also have a slot/receptacle for a micro SD flash memory card which will expand its recording capacity by several hours. In order to offload the recorded video, it must be connected to a computer’s USB port, at which point it will function as a conventional thumb drive that contains standard video files.
