Ever have the need for that covert video? Do you wish you could shoot video without being noticed? Oh, yeah, I know you have. Now there’s a simple solution. Designed to look like a car key fob, no one will be the wiser as you carry it.
HD RemoteCam - Covert 720P Digital Video Camera
With the new HD RemoteCam from Swann (SWVID-RMC720) you can record up to 25 minutes of HD quality video and audio on the included 2GB micro-SD card. It will record as a color AVI file that should play on all computers. Need more time? It will take up to a 32 GB card. It also shoots stills at 1600x1200 pixels.
Since you don’t get a viewfinder on the unit, use the following rules of thumb for framing. To get a good head shot – plan on being about three feet away. For a full height body shot – plan to be back about 10 feet.
Downloading or sharing the file couldn’t be simpler, just hook up a standard USB1 cable and make the transfer. The USB cable also serves as a charger and when fully charged, it will shoot for an hour.
Some samples:
With photo #4, you can see I had the cam laying on the library counter as I waited for the librarian.
In photo #5, I was holding the cam as I walked down the street.
In neither case did anyone ever expect I was filming them.
