Recently, we often write about spy cameras. But there are also regular cameras, not hidden in a pen, watch, or glasses, and even externally similar to the camera. But how would we write about some absolutely commonplace thing? Of course it is impossible. Because the camera, which will be discussed in this article, is not just a camera it’s an Ultra-gadget with three functions.
First of all the size of this camera is very unusual (6x2x4, 5 cm). You can even hang it on a keychain instead of a bunch of keys.
Such a small size is not too much impact on the functionality of the camera. This can take photos, shoot video, and even work as a webcam. It can take up to 243 shots (depending on quality), video, unfortunately, will record a few seconds. The camera receives energy from AAA batteries.
You can buy this gadget for only $19.95.
We have not writen about “spy gadgets and hidden cameras” for a long time, and they are, in my opinion, the most interesting ones. Hidden camera was inserted in almost everything. These can be helpful for parents who want to see how nanny takes care of their children, or for office workers who want to know what secretary does in their absence, etc.
Wired Book Camera is a usual book with a hidden camera. This book can be put on the shelf next to other books at home, in the office or bedroom and nobody will notice anything strange. With the RCA-cable, you can easily watch and record videos. The video is transmitted in good quality even when the lighting in the room is bad.
The camera shoots what is happening at 92 degrees around. Images may be either colored or black and white (it’s up to you). Voice, unfortunately, is not recorded. The dimensions of this book: 24 cm x 16 cm x 6 cm. The price of this gadget is $99.
Today we are going to introduce a pen with a camera and microphone.
New spy toy called “DVR-BP” has been released by a Japanese Digital Cowboy company.
DVR-BP is equipped with a camera, microphone, battery, enough for two hours of continuous recording, and two gigabytes of memory for storing video.
Separately it is necessary to mention the convenience of interaction with the computer – DVR-BP features a standard USB connector.
The cost of the novelty is ¥17,800 (about $175), but you can only buy it on the site of the manufacturer (where everything is, unfortunately, in Japanese).
Robots help people in a large number of different situations. In difficult circumstances, where people fail with their job, robots easily cope with their tasks.
That’s a new Water Strider robot which performs its function perfectly; it is designed to move through the water surface. This robot is made in a form of a small insect that can easily move on the surface of the water in swamps and small lakes.
Water Strider can also measure the temperature of the water and still give some indications. It will be very useful, for example, when you need to monitor water quality in pools, reservoirs, drainage and similar places. Imagine how easy and cheap it would be if such a robot will replace all existing cumbersome equipment.
You can also use the robot and for other purposes, for example, to spy on something or someone with a small camera. Water Strider can become an ideal tool for espionage.
The U.S. Liquid Image Company has pleased all fans of diving with mask- goggles UDCM310, which not only protects the owner’s eyes under the water, but also gives an opportunity to shoot photo and video.
The gadget is equipped with 5-megapixel camera, allowing to take pictures with a resolution of 2560 × 1920, and to shoot a video in the format of 720 × 480 pixels, 30 frames per second.
Liquid Image UDCM310 has 16 MB of internal memory, which is expandable through MicroSD cards, and can shoot at depths up to 10 meters.
The price of these miracle-glasses is about 130 Euro, but I think that for those who are going to seashore, it is not so much.
If you are thinking about purchasing a new sale the first 3D-camera in the world.
The operating principle of the device is quite simple – the camera has two lenses, which shoot the same scene from different angles.
However, in order to print the received images you will have to use special paper with a plastic coating, performing the role of the lens, and electronic photos can be viewed on a special 8-inch photo from FujiFilm.
The presentation of the modern media player L1200 was issued by the Chinese corporation Newman-Hyun. The main charm of this unit is a 12-megapixel camera with 12 times digital zoom function and the special “lens”.
It can be rotated on 180 degrees, which helps the user to shoot himself/herself without anyone’s help.
Exposure positioning frame can vary in a range from 1 / 10 to 1 / 2000 seconds; an opportunity to make a coherent series of images. According to the manufacturer’s website, the most interesting function of media players is the opportunity of direct connection to your TV to record TV-programs. In addition, the device has USB 2.0 port and SD / MMC Memory Slot.
But unfortunately, the Chinese L1200 has significant disadvantages. The striking fact is the significant difference between the abilities of the device camera, and moderate playback for such advanced players. Media can play video files AVI MPEG4 at 24 frames per second, is able to read MP3 audio files and JPEG image files. The biggest flaw of the device is an 3-inch TFT LCD display, which has a small settlement in 320×240, and at the same time reproduces the entire 260000 colors. “Budget” media player has a very good camera, but with significant disabilities it will cost no more than 130 dollars.
USB drives are quite necessary devices for your computer and laptop. Sometimes there are not enough connectors to connect all the cables – a digital camera, USB-flashes, player, phone, camera, etc. Here comes help USB-hub. USB-hubs align to your computer and obediently lay on the table, waiting for a connection of a variety of devices. Joel Escalona presents you the next designer creation – Asterisco USB hub 4x, USB hub, which resembles the communist symbol of red color. The work of Joel Escalona designer is a miracle. It is a decent hub with 4 USB inputs, which are universal for the absolute majority of devices.

I want to add few words about this original device. It has a style of the Wild West, traditional and interesting figure for American lighters. Nobody will doubt that the device is not a real lighter, so you’d better use it as a lighter.
Undoubtedly, this stylish and interesting thing will be a perfect gift. The cost of the gadget of James Bond style is about $ 150.
