One of the most amazing features of this camera is its battery life – up to 3 YEARS of standby battery life on a single charge, with up to 60 total hours of continuous recording.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

Long Life Operation – As mentioned earlier, the high-capacity lithium-ion rechargeable battery provides the Electrical Box Hidden Camera with up to 3 years of standby battery life on a single charge. This means that the camera can be sitting in “standby” waiting for motion to occur to start recording for up to 3 years. On a full charge, that translates into approximately up to 60 total hours of actual recording.

Optional Night Vision – Our most popular version of the electrical box hidden camera is the version with the optional night vision upgrade. This feature allows the camera to see in 100% total darkness, so even if the lights out, you will still be able to monitor your yard, construction site, warehouse, or wherever you need hidden camera video surveillance. Unlike many night vision cameras, the IR sensors are totally invisible, so there is no “red glow” that would alert someone that there is a camera nearby.

Adjustable Settings – There are over a dozen adjustable recording settings that you can adjust to get the exact type of recorded video that you are looking for. Adjust the resolution, frame rate, video quality, and much more. You can also adjust the time/date stamp, the overwrite feature, and the motion detection sensitivity. No other hidden camera gives you this much control over your recording!

PC and Mac Compatible – Videos are recorded to a universal format (AVI), which can be played back on any PC or Mac computer. Your recorded videos can be transferred to your computer, emailed, or even uploaded to YouTube.

Video Playback on Your TV – Included with the Electrical Box Hidden Camera is an RCA connection cable that allows you to connect the camera directly to any TV with standard RCA inputs.

Product Spotlight: Cell Phone Call Recorder for iPhone Android and Blackberry Cell Phones

Today’s product spotlight features the Cell Phone Call Recorder for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry cell phones. This revolutionary product is the first of its kind to record both sides of your cell phone conversation. Using this device is simply – just plug it into the headphone jack and place your call. When you’re ready to record the conversation, flip the switch into the “on” position – it’s that easy!

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

Cell Phone Call RecodingMany people have been asking us for years for a product to record cell phone conversations. As easy as it sounds, it turns out that it’s really not that easy. The issue is that different states have different laws on whether one-party or two-party consent is required to record a phone call (ie. whether just one side must be aware of the recording, or if both must be aware). Because of this, phone manufacturers don’t usually allow applications to run on their devices to record calls.

The nice thing about this new Cell Phone Call Recorder is that it is completely hardware-based, so there are no apps to install on the phone itself, making the recording universal on any phone with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack (including the iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android phones). Recording is started simply by pressing the “on” button on the device, and calls are recorded to 4GB of internal memory – enough to store up to 144 hours of calls. You can then play back the calls easily on your PC or Mac computer, or even on-the-go with the included headphones.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

Simple Operation – Using the Cell Phone Call Recorder couldn’t be easier. Installation is a snap – literally – just plug the recorder to your phone’s headphone jack, and it’s ready to go. Make (or receive) your call as normal, and when you’re ready to start recording, just slide the power switch into the “on” position.

PC and Mac Compatible – Recorded conversations are saved to 4GB of internal memory, which can hold up to 144 total hours of recordings. The best part about this recorder is that you can connect it to any PC or Mac computer and listen to the recordings, or transfer them to your computer. Because they are recorded in a standard MP3 format, you can use any standard media player to play them.

On-the-Go Playback – In addition to being able to play back your recordings on your PC or Mac computer, you can also use the included headphones and wired remote to listen to recordings wherever you want.

Universal Compatibility – In addition to working with the Apple iPhone, BlackBerry and Android phones, the Cell Phone Call Recorder will work with ANY cell phone with a standard 3.5mm (headphone) jack.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

If you need to quickly and easily record cell phone conversations, the Cell Phone Call Recorder is the ideal recording device. It’s easy to use, and playback is simple. One thing to note, because different states have different laws on recording, be sure to check with your local laws before recording any conversation. One resource to get you started is the website “Can I Tape“, which provides a state-by-state breakdown of recording laws.

Product Spotlight: Outdoor Rock Hidden Camera with Up to 1 Year Battery Life

If you need outdoor surveillance, you need the product in today’s Product Spotlight, the Outdoor Rock Hidden Camera with Up to 1 Year Battery Life. It might look like a regular rock that you’d find in your lawn or garden, but hidden inside is a powerful hidden camera that records motion-activated video. We even have an optional night vision version available that will record even in total darkness! To learn more about this unique hidden spy camera, let’s take a look at the product overview…

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

Outdoor Rock Hidden CameraThe Outdoor Rock Hidden Camera is designed to blend into any outdoor environment. It uses “body heat” motion activated recording to use very little battery power when it’s not in use, which allows the battery to get an amazing 1 year of standby battery life on a single charge.

Video is recorded to a removable SD card (32GB maximum capacity) that is hidden inside a weather resistant compartment on the bottom of the rock, which gives you easy access to your video. Video will be recorded whenever there is movement nearby, up to 20 feet away. Your video files can then be played back on your PC or Mac, or even directly on your TV or on our optional portable media player. You can even email them or upload them to YouTube!

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

Covert Operation – This ordinary looking rock will blend in anywhere, whether you need security at home, at an apartment complex, farm, construction site, business, or almost anywhere! It’s ready to go out of the box, just plug the memory card in and charge the camera and the device will start recording whenever motion is detected.

Long Life Battery – Inside the Outdoor Rock Hidden Camera is a long-life rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides up to an entire year (365 days!) of operation on a single charge. That means the camera can sit in standby for up to a year – perfect for both short term or long term use. During that time you’ll be able to get up to 20 total hours of recording – so if (for example) the camera recorded 10 minutes of motion or movement a day, the battery would last approximately 120 days.

Optional Night Vision – Our most popular version of the rock hidden camera is the night vision model. This upgrade allows your rock camera to record in total darkness! This is made possible by 940nm “invisible IR” lights. Unlike most night vision lights, these 940nm lights do not emit any visible light (ie. there is no “red glow” like many night vision cameras). This allows the camera to be totally covert – no one will ever know the camera is recording – except you!

Multiple Playback Options – Another great feature for this hidden camera is the ability to play back your recorded video virtually anywhere! Check out the following playback options:

  • PC or Mac Computer – Easily remove the SD card and insert into any computer for playback
  • Directly on Your TV – Use the included RCA video cables to watch playback right on your TV
  • Portable Video Player – Use the optional LCD Video Player to watch your playback anywhere!

THE BOTTOM LINE:

For outdoor covert video surveillance, the Outdoor Rock Hidden Camera with up to 1 Year Battery Life might be one of the most feature-packed cameras we’ve ever carried. With the available night vision upgrade, you can protect your home or business 24 hours a day and capture anyone that might be coming onto your property. With video playback on almost any device, you’ll be able to quickly review recorded video footage, and provide yourself with round the clock surveillance.

Product Spotlight: LawMate 720P HD Hidden Electrical Outlet and Wall Switch Spy Camera

Today’s product spotlight is focused on two products that are functionally identical, with two design models. These products are the LawMate™ 720P HD Electrical Outlet Hidden Camera with 5 Day Battery Life and the LawMate™ 720P HD Wall Light Switch Hidden Camera w/ 5 Day Battery Life:

Electrical Outlet and Wall Switch Hidden Camera

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

The Outlet Camera and the Switch Camera both have the same components inside, and both operate in the same fashion. They record 720P High Definition color motion-activated video (1280×720 resolution), and both also have the ability to take photos as well. A built-in “body heat” motion activation PIR sensor allows these cameras to get up to 5 days of standby battery life, with up to 4-5 hours of total recording.

Mounting these cameras is easy and takes just a few seconds. Simply use the included 3M mounting tape, and you can stick these cameras anywhere. Video is recorded to a removable micro SD card up to 32GB in capacity, and the videos can be played back on any PC or Mac computer.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

Simple Operation – One of the best features of these two cameras is that they are very easy to use. There are no complicated setup menus or configuration. Both cameras do allow you to change a few options, but you can do so easily via the switches on the inside of the device once you remove the cover. You’ll be able to change:

  • Video Resolution (VGA or HD video)
  • Photo or Video Mode (Whether the camera will take video or photos when triggered)
  • Overwrite Mode (Whether or not the camera overwrites the oldest files when card fills up)

PC and Mac Compatible – Because the video is recorded in a standard video format (AVI) and photos are taken in universal JPG format, you’ll be able to view your recorded videos on any type of computer. You can save them to your computer as well, upload them to YouTube, email them, or do anything you want with them. If you don’t have a computer, you can even use the optional LCD Portable Media Player and watch your playback on the 3″ screen just by inserting the memory card.

720P HD Color Video – Unlike many less expensive hidden cameras on the market, the Electrical Outlet and Wall Switch Hidden Cameras feature a high quality HD camera lens that allow you to record clear color HD video. Like all hidden cameras, they unfortunately do not record audio (due to US laws on hidden audio recording), but with crystal clear video like this, you’ll still pick up all of the video evidence you need.

Long 5-Day Standby Battery Life – Another thing that makes this hidden camera unique is that the battery can last in standby mode for up to 5 days. It accomplishes this by using a “body heat” activated motion-detection camera, the most advanced form of motion detection available. You’ll be able to get up to 4-5 hours of total recording on a full charge. Extra batteries are also available so you can just pop a new battery in and not have any down time between charges.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

As you can see by the above features, the Electrical Outlet Hidden Camera and the Wall Switch Hidden Camera by LawMate are some of the most advanced hidden cameras on the market. They blend in to almost any environment, home or business, which provide maximum flexibility for covert surveillance. At only $295 each, these cameras represent some of the best value in the spy camera market.

The Standard model is motion-activated, and records high quality color video at 720×480 resolution. There are no options to configure, it’s truly plug and play. The Advanced model however gives you the ability to adjust several settings, such as the file length and video quality. With the advanced model you can even switch between motion-activated recording and continuous recording. Finally, the Advanced model also adds a time and date stamp to the video.

PC and Mac Compatible – Many hidden cameras on the market only work with Windows-based computers, but the AC Adapter camera records in a universal AVI file format that is playable on both Windows and Mac computers.

Video Playback on Your TV – With the Advanced model, in addition to being able to view the playback on your computer, you also get the ability to connect the camera to your TV to adjust settings and view your video playback.
