HD Spy Camera Light Switch Keeps An Eye On Your Stuff Beth Snyder June 29, 2011 It’s another spy gadget! You can’t have too many of these…after all, what if something happened in your house and you didn’t get to watch and re-watch every second of it from multiple angles? Sure, there are legitimate reasons for having a security system, and a camera isn’t a bad idea at all; it’s just funny for me the incredibly wide variety of products there are on the market for the paranoid. This, however…this is kinda neat. This is actually a working light switch that happens to have a motion-activated camera mounted in it. Which means it has an everyday practical use as well as security. The pinhole lens is hidden inside the logo on the face of the switch, and it can take both video (3GP; 320×240, 30fps) and still pictures (JPEG 1280×960). But it gets better. You can operate it with your phone! How that works is you insert a SIM card into the switch. As long as you remember to leave it on, you can choose between video and still picture mode via SMS, and receive instant alerts as soon as it detects movement via MMS. You can also make a video call at any time to see what’s going on when you’re not there. It comes with a free 2GB microSD card, upgradable to 8GB maximum. You’ll need a 1200mAh battery, but it comes with a USB cable to transfer images directly to your computer and an EU power adapter. Pricing varies depending on how many units you order, but you can get one at Chinavasion starting at $80.00 US (a $20.00 savings over retail). Source: 7 Gadgets Share This With The World!
