Finally Change The Time & Date On The Updated PI Camstick

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Well we buried this in the last email, and if you did not see it, we are reposting it.

We are now able to set the time date on the Updated PI Camstick!!!

We finally have a firmware update for the Updated PI Camstick that you can run to change the time & date. Joy of joys! Download the file and expand on your PC, or on a Mac if you are using Boot camp or Parallels. Put the SD card in your Updated PI Camstick, and use the USB cable to plug it in to the PC. Run the updater and you will see either question marks, or gibberish.

Choose the button the left. The button on the right will cancel. Then it will do it’s thing and give you a success dialogue box. Hit return or enter, and it will finish. Then go to the lower right tray on the monitor, click the green arrow, and eject the device. Unplug the cable, turn it on, wait a minute, turn it off, then every time you use it, you will be able to adjust the time/date!

And we also dropped the price. We realize you can buy these for a 20 bucks on eBay with free shipping. These are the factory rejects that don’t make it because the audio is bad, the battery is weak, the camera might not record well, or whatever. Don’t be tempted to save a few bucks, get one that is warrantied for one year.

So for all of you that need to set the time & date on the Updated PI CamStick Personal Interview Recorder, now you can…

RIP Hi-Res PI-CamStick – Worlds Smallest Digital Video Recorder

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Well today we have good news & bad news. First the bad news. The Hi-Res PI-CamStick – World’s Smallest Digital Video Recorder is dead. That’s right, one of the very first spy cameras we started selling over 2 years ago is no more (Start shedding your tears now.).

Talking Mini Clock Radio Hidden Camera DVR
Hi-Res PI-CamStick – World’s Smallest Digital Video Recorder

While the video was only 320 x 240, it was one of our all time top sellers. It was a HUGE advancement from the 1st generation PI Camstick, which took a whopping 160 x 120 video. It was postage size, but it was so cool.

Then it was bumped up to 640 x 480 and everyone was in heaven, and we sold hundreds. However, the ones that take the micro SD cards were never was able to keep the time/date working, until now!

Now the good news; You can FINALLY set the time date on the Updated PI Camstick!!!

We finally have a firmware update for the Updated PI Camstick that you can run to change the time & date. Joy of joys! Download the file and expand on your PC, or on a Mac if you are using Bootcamp or Parallels. Put the SD card in your Updated PI Camstick, and use the USB cable to plug it in to the PC. Run the updater and you will see either question marks, or gibberish.

And we also dropped the price. We realize you can buy these for a buck on eBay with free shipping. Normally they are stolen from the factories, and a couple bucks is a lot for a broke China man. I mean the postage cost more than the product, and if you look at their other items, you will see USB fans, Hello Kitty key chains, and other fluff. They don’t do this for a living. They sell whatever crap they can scrounge. Tech support? You gotta be kidding!

This business is my life; we eat, sleep, and drool over all the new products. Don’t expect to get any support from them. And they won’t make videos showing how they work, won’t be available to help you when you need it, won’t guarantee it for one year from defects, or give you lifetime toll free technical support. I would have to go back to the woods because we could not stay in business, so we are trying to find the happy medium.

So we listened, we dropped prices, and we will keep the news and tips coming.

Whatever your needs, be it a PI, gadget head, Law enforcement, need to record interviews or meetings, or just wanna play James Bond for the day, the Updated PI CamStick Personal Interview Recorder is the size of your pinky, and with the pocket clip, you always have a camcorder in your pocket…

Almost 3 Hours Of Video With The Covert Key Chain Hidden Camera And Digital Video Recorder

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

It’s amazing what pops into your head at times. I was yacking away with a guy today about the differences between the Car Alarm Key Chain Hidden Video Camera & the Covert Key Chain Hidden Camera And Digital Video Recorder, and I had this huge brain flash. We were going over the different video quality and recording time and I remember when we tested the Covert Key Chain Camera, it recorded about 50 minutes of video.

Even though we were told it would record 3 hours, we did not believe them and did not advertise it that way. So the guy today says he saw that it was 3 hours recording also, and I said, no, we only got 50 minutes. Then it hit me. It filled up the included 2GB SD card before the battery needed a charge. So it was because of the small memory card that it only recorded 50 minutes.

Covert Key Chain Hidden Camera And Digital Video Recorder

So I pop in an 8GB SD card, and we got over 2.5 hours of video! It still breaks them up into 30 minute files, so you can find the part you want quickly.

We also posted 2 new videos and 1 photo of the device set down while recording, which is the best way to get clear video shots. These mini spy cams have no image stabilization, so you have to hold them still. A lot of our raw samples are with someone holding them, and the more you move, the blurrier it will be.

Setting this down and recording a long meeting with your Slum Lord or Contractor lying through their teeth? Priceless!!!

Wow, now we are testing the Car Alarm Keychain camera and will report back what we find.

Car Key Hidden Digital Audio Recorder

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

We have had a lot of people ask us for a discrete audio recorder that will last for a long time, and be hidden inside something so it does not look like an audio recorder.

Well, we found PowerTime Pro Recorder Car Key Digital Audio Recorder, digital audio recorder that is hidden inside a real VW/Audi car key.

PowerTime Pro Recorder Car Key Digital Audio Recorder

This is a fully functional digital audio recorder that uses normal1 1.5V cell phone watch batteries to record for up to 300 hours!

Easy to use and set-up, the PowerTime Pro Recorder can record for up to 33 feet, and can be heard on FREE powerful software on your PC. It won’t work on a Mac.

The storage format is 4bit, so you get good quality sound. There is also a garage door opener version we will have up shortly.

If you need to record audio, and you don’t want a microphone or digital audio recorder, which is not covert, check out the PowerTime Pro Recorder Car Key Digital Audio Recorder.

The Bluetooth Earphone DVR Easily Records Covert Video

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

You gotta love those Chinese, not only do they party for 2 weeks during their New Year, virtually shutting down all commerce between any company in any other country, they also come up with an endless stream of DVR Spy Cameras hidden in practically every possible product. Now we have the Bluetooth Earphone Digital Video Recorder, an innocent looking bluetooth earphone with a camera with audio hidden inside.

We charged it up for about 2 hours, since the blinking yellow status light stopped blinking. It recorded between 38 & 45 minutes on two tries, and it takes pretty clear video with audio. The video is large, 640 x 480, and its just under 30 frames per second, so it’s pretty clear. There is a little audio artifacts, though you can hear conversations up to about 10-15 feet away.

Bluetooth Earphone Digital Video Recorder

We posted sample videos & pictures on its page, and it was easy to use. It’s a clip device, so hold it in your right hand and clip to your shirt or jacket. Put it down near your belt for 2 reasons. 1; The video shoots up slightly, and if you hold it at chest height, or clip it at chest level, you will get a lot of ceiling shots, or peoples bald heads. And the light won’t be so noticeable lower. The light will blink blue every 3 seconds in video mode.

To switch to photo mode, take the fake earphone, and it has a slider switch on it that is suppose to be the volume control. Push it down to MIN setting, and now you can take a photo ever time you push the button.

If your DVR Spy Pen is getting noticed, check out the Bluetooth Earphone Digital Video Recorder for the latest body worn hidden camera.

The Worlds First Nanny Cam With Audio!

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

The Covert Alarm Clock Radio Hidden Camera And DVR With Audio is the first Nanny Cam on the market that adds audio, allowing you to see, and hear, what is going on when you are not around.

Up until now, all the Nanny Cams did not have an audio feature. You had to buy an audio recorder to hear what was said.

This Covert Alarm Clock Radio Hidden Camera And DVR With Audio records clear video with audio, and looks like a normal clock radio you would see in a home or office. The video is clear, as is the audio. Check out this sample video we made.

That’s a 15 fps clip, so you only get 1/2 the video of a 30 fps file, yet do you really need 30fps? Plus it saves space, as the files are 1/2 as small.

Just plug it in the wall and it will start recording out of the box. You can easily set the time/date, motion activation, frame speed, size, etc. It has masking so you can only detect motion in certain areas like doorways, avoiding things like pets, fans or curtains, which give false motion readings.

It takes up to 32GB SD cards, and it comes with 2GB to get you going. It does have a visible SD card slot on the back edge, and there is one output port on the side used to set it up, or watch video if you don’t have a computer. The battery cover on the bottom is screwed shut also. Otherwise, it’s a normal functioning clock radio that most people would not give a 2nd thought.

The lens is above the time LED, next to a status light and is NOT noticeable. Now the legal stuff; audio recording is restricted or banned in certain places. In some states you have to put up signs that you are recording audio, and it can’t be used in CA unless both parties agree. So call an attorney if you intend to use it in court, otherwise its a great way to see what your nanny, babysitter, house cleaner, kids, spouse, or elderly care giver is doing & saying when you are not there.

This is not intended to be used illegally, just as a monitoring tool. You can identify things that could lead to problems down the road, and we don’t want that, now do we???
