Hidden Spy Camera Alternatives

These days, a lot of hidden camera devices are available with all shapes and forms. As mentioned in early articles we have glorified the spy pen for its amazing versatility and how it might be used in all sorts of situations. Despite our praise concerning this device we have to admit that it’s not always the best-hidden spy camera for the job. So here is a quick view on a couple of the alternative spy camera products on the market today.

Spy Glasses
This is the gadget that began the whole hidden spy camera craze; shown in movies they allowed somebody else to watch what somebody else was seeing. At first a small camera was hidden within the nosepiece that linked the lenses together. The main factor these nifty little gadgets never really seemed to take off however was the sheer size of the camera embedded inside the frame. It just made them to big to be discreet. An answer was soon discovered in the form of sunglasses; their design allowed much thicker rims without divulging the secret of the hidden camera. Only challenge is you can only really use them when it’s sunny.

Overall spy sunglasses are magnificent products. The space that camera glasses framework provides allows high quality camera to be built with other top quality components. While not offering the exact versatility as a spy pen they are defiantly a fun alternative device.

Clock Cameras (And other stationary devices)
Among one of the least obvious places to ever hide a camera, people began hiding chunky good quality cameras within wall-mounted clocks and other gadgets. Often placed in devices high up in the room to secure a good view of all of the room, they have administered full room security for years. They offer no versatility, they are literally a one trick pony, but what a trick. If you’re a hidden camera hound like myself you certainly would be lost without just one of these variations in your collection.

Pre-disguised Hidden Cameras
Some how we have discovered ourselves coming full loop back to the spy pen. We shall make an effort not to keep mentioning it as there are other devices this concept has been used to create, most often common everyday items. We’ve discovered several really weird disguises in our time. One of the most common of these seem to be tie clips, remote controls, and chewing gum packets. All present roughly the same quality of recording as each other. The issue we have with these is that they are limited to how you can use them. A good piece of spy equipment should be versatile and always comfortable in its surroundings. These gadgets are not useable everywhere you go, so failing miserably we find ourselves coming back to the spy pen and stamping it with our highest recommendation.
