I’ve never looked for any, so I wasn’t entirely sure where to look. The last time I had thought about hidden cameras was back earlier this decade, when everyone was blocking those X-10 spy camera ads. :D

Coincidentally, my sponsors at Brick House Security happen to have an array of spy camera equipment, including a camera that looks like an old-school pager. This pager is compact, and easy to get away with — it makes you look important, like a doctor who is on-call, without blowing your cover, which is very important for mystery shopping.

Business owners would appreciate a camera that looks like a smoke detector. Trying to catch your employees goofing off, and know they won’t in front of a camera they see? This is the ultimate in ‘gotcha’ for them.

They also have a really cute Portable Video Recorder that doubles as a Media Player, making it great for shops that require you to take pictures of things in the store, or for travel-based mystery shops. Just dump a couple of episodes of Eureka Seven to a few SD cards, carry a spare SD card for taking your own video, and go-go-go. :)

(Also, you all now know what I want for Christmas. Get me that media player. :))

That happened to me a few hours ago.

I’d also like to share a somewhat amusing story about my day, from work today.
Because I can’t post it cleanly into an entry, I offer a link to it.

Some customers are just creepy like that. :)
