Stealth Cameras and You.

I was signing up earlier today to do some mystery shopping in my area, and on these applications, I noticed a couple of the companies were asking if I had any sort of hidden camera equipment. 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.

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. :))
