Even though we featured a spy camera of sorts earlier this morning, this variation of the spy camera is just plain cool. Plus, with all of this spy talk I’m eager for some R&R time with a comfy couch, gallon of ice cream, and a James Bond marathon. Fuzzy slippers might even make the cut *nervously shifts eyes*.
Spy cameras usually have one general flaw — they require the operator to manually push some sort of button which can lead the one being spied upon to suspect something less than kosher. For those looking to take their spying to the next level, the Voice Activated Wall Socket Camera is just thing tool to add to your collection.
The appearance is rather odd for a socket. I’m not sure if it comes in different styles for different countries as a socket pictured above in my mid-western house just wouldn’t quite hold that element of surprise I’m looking for. Although, the voice activated quality redeems this gadget for the most part.
The voice activation however is the featured item of this camera. Once voices nearby rise above 65db, the camera automatically starts recording for up to 5 minutes after voices cease. Storing your secrets can be done via TransFlash cards in sizes up to 8GB — that should hold plenty for even the more serious geeks/spy’s in training.
Privacy fears are probably piquing right about now for many of you and for good reason. Anyone can install this. But remember, it’s not hard to spot this if you really pay attention. The socket formation like your normal socket. Get ‘em while they’re hot (or removed by law enforcement).
Thanks Jenny,
