    Coffee Travel Mug Hidden Camera Controls And Recording Data

    Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

    We are putting one of the coolest spy cameras we have seen in years, the Coffee Travel Mug Hidden Camera through it’s paces, and wanted to show you the controls, and recording data so far.

    Everything in this covert camera is contained in the top piece, the camera, battery SD card slot, USB port, and controls. It’s not waterproof, so don’t put any coffee in it, though it gives you a spare lid, so you can carry coffee around in it, then when finished, pop on the camera top, push one button for a second, and set it down & you are video recording. How easy is that?

    The camera lens is on the edge of the cap with the camera in it.

    All you need to do is decide if you want HD video, or VGA video. In our tests with an 8GB micro SD card, we were able to record 2:43 minutes of video in the HD mode. We are out of 16gb and not sure if it will record longer until those chips come in. For now, it breaks up the video into 30 minute chunks, exactly 1.56GB per file, so there were 5x of those, , and a 13 minute clip that was 7 or 8GB.

    UPDATE: Using a 8GB card on VGA mode, 640 x 480 @ 30 fps, we recorded 3 hours & 43 minutes of super clear video. File sizes are smaller, we fit 7x 30 minutes files that are 826MB ea, and a 13 minute clip that was 365MB. Since there is 1.81GB available, the battery gave out before we filled up the card. Final test will be with a 16GB card on HD video to see if we get that similar amount of time. I’ll post video clips on the product page.

    Here are the controls.

    One thing, you have to format the memory card first, you can’t just stick it in & record; nothing will show up. You hold the Format button down for 2 seconds, and with another finger, hold down the On/Off button until the blue light comes on, then release the Format button, and still holding down the On/Off button until the Red Record light starts blink, release the On/Off button. If the blue light is solid, it took, and if it blinks and goes off, its a bad memory card. We could not format one card, and we tried another and it took no problem.

    So now you can leave this innocent looking coffee travel mug on your desk, or even inside your car, and for up to 3 hours, you can record video, and find the punk that is stealing from you or damaging your property.

    Call us for more info & remember don’t put any coffee in it when recording!

    Ding Dong The Camball’s Dead

    Saturday, April 13th, 2013

    Ding Dong The Camball’s Dead

    I found out before we left earlier this week for ISC West, our industries Video Surveillance trade show, that our most popular product of all time, the Camball from Starnex is out of stock, and unless we order 3,500 units, they won’t be manufacturing them anymore. Drat!

    So I am thinking when I get back, I’ll do a blog post and call it, “Ding Dong, the Camball’s Dead,” and what happens while I am gone, those Brits propel the song, “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead,” from the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz” to the top of their music charts. They upped me! Double Drat!!

    In case you have lived under a rock or a cave your whole life, its a song the Munchkins sing when the evil, oppressive Witch dies in the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.”

    Only now, the Brits are doing it for Margaret Thatcher, the woman who tried to save the Commonwealth from the situation Greece/Italy/Blah/Blah/Blah find themselves in with an unsustainable Nanny state that makes it more worthwhile to get government handouts, instead of getting off your lazy butt and doing something productive with yourself, not flying across Europe to cause trouble at sporting events.

    The amazing part is there are people who will protest her funeral, some of them were not even born when Thatcher is in office, cursing her, because she took away their Government handouts, instead of taking an ounce of initiative, and doing something with themselves besides whining like Primrose Everdeen from the Hunger Games.

    The good news is that there might be inventory of Korean versions that could be modified for the US market with just some software/firmware updates & we could see them again. Though that’s a holder breather.

    That leads to another thought; I am also not sure of the future of Starnex. They had a 4 channel mobile DVR when we first started 6 years ago that was one of the few out there, and recorded to Sony memory sticks. Tons were sold to South American countries, though they only recorded @ 7.5fps, and for analog video, it looks like the people are doing the Robot, its so jerky. They don’t make that anymore.

    Then, their advanced for the time pocket DVR, which had the feature to be networked on a LAN, went the way of the Dodo bird. They briefly tried a pen video recorder that never made it past R&D. They made the CCam, a 2 camera video recorder for capturing how you drive with front and back cameras and GPS logging, though that is dead also, no more will be imported & we are out.

    Then they tried to join the sports camera wave, and released the iSaw, a waterproof sports camera we highlighted on our blog, and only sold one. That’s a super competitive market, and unless you have tens of thousands if not hundreds to advertise, you will get trampled in that shuffle.

    So maybe the song should be, Ding Dong Starnex is Dead.

    The good news is there are still lots of other choices for a small, easy to hide spy camera over here…

    I’ll keep you posted…

    Covert Hidden Cameras To Record Punks Damaging Your Car

    Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

    We wanted to let you know that there are some totally covert hidden cameras with DVR recording that work great for a home, townhouse, or apartment to record damage to your vehicle, flowers, or property. Two easy to install, covert, hidden spy cameras with long life battery are the SecureShot Yard Guard Fake Owl Hidden Camera DVR and the Xtreme Life Garden Hose Reel Hidden Camera.

    If you want to catch the punks that are damaging my car, then these are some super discrete ways to catch them. The Fake Owl is a real fake owl with the camera in the birds head, and it can not turn or pivot, so you point it at your driveway or any other area you want to watch. Click on the link and you can see sample video.

    and the Xtreme Life Garden Hose Reel Hidden Camera puts the camera, recorder, and battery in an innocent garden hose reel. Charge up the long life battery, point it where you want to record, and come back later to get the evidence. You can record high quality video or photos to a SD card and there are no flashing lights, cables, or open ports to give them away

    Xtreme Life Garden Hose Reel Hidden Camera

    Both have a PIR or passive infrared sensor, which triggers the camera when a human moves, not a flag or tree brach or car driving by. They also have a long life battery that records for up to 20 straight hours on a charge, or up to a year in "stand-by" mode, or some time in between depending on the amount of activity.

    Both can be set up outside with limited hardware, perfect for apartments or townhouses. They are completely waterproof, and you can watch the video on your PC by removing the SD cards. The video is 720 x 480 and clear 30 frames a second. You can burn to a disc for law enforcement to punish the punks that messed with your stuff.

    We posted video samples of both hidden spy cameras on the web pages, and we will also toss in a FREE 16GB memory card with any order. Give us a call @ the # below with any questions.

    Video Samples Of Upgraded SecureShot Hidden Camera And DVR

    Saturday, May 26th, 2012

    Even though its Memorial Day weekend, my slave driver boss has me working while they are enjoying themselves. That’s OK, as I have a nice stash of crickets and worms for later.

    I just added a bunch of videos of the new SecureShot Hidden Cameras and DVR that have the upgraded 720 x 480 D1 video that plays at real-time 30 frames a second. These hidden cameras with self recording DVR are the best Nanny Cam or Granny Cam on the market because of how covert they are. You can’t find any lights, slots, or other features that other products have. All memory cards are hidden behind hidden trap doors that only you have the key to access.

    Take for example the SecureShot AM FM Clock Weather Radio Hidden Camera DVR. We take an ordinary Midland weather clock radio, and put in a high resolution 550 line camera that auto switches to low light, or a special spy camera that works wth the invisible night vision illumiators to record in total darkness.

    Here are actual raw samples from a SecureShot with IR Hidden Camera. Right click to download them to your computer. For the raw .asf files, use either VLC Media Player on Mac or PC, or KM Player on the PC to play back the .asf files.

    Indoor Video raw clips in .asf format.

    Outdoor Video we trimmed and converted to .mov format with Video Converter.

    If you think your housekeeper or gardner is stealing from you, if some punk kid is damaging your car or flower garden, or if are having thefts of your property at home or work, and when you are not there, these are the best self-recording hidden cameras that we carry.

    Here’s a special offer for you, we will upgrade your memory to 8GB for FREE! Just mention FREE 8GB in the comments box @ check-out. Stay save this holiday, stay out of the sun, don’t drink and drive, and rest up for a great rest of 2012!
