Spy Review

New of note is the 1/3″ Sony Super HAD CCD board camera with a Phillips screw head lens. This camera can be simply installed into both drywall and ceilings. It looks like a plain old screw, but in fact is a covert camera, keeping an eye on your chosen space for whatever good reasons you may have. Only catch is that to install it you will need to get at the back of either the wall, panelling, sheet metal or other material you are going to secrete the device camera in.

Typical installation would involve simply drilling a hole to fit the size of the screw head, and then fit the secreted camera in from the rear, leaving space for the needed wires for video and power in the rear.

This is a perfect camera for keeping an eye on a storage room where supplies have been going missing in an office environment, or even in a kids playroom where friends are allowed over and doors are shut.

The 1195A model has a range of up to 1000 feet line of sight so its also great for outdoor surveillance of long driveways.

How it works is you plug the camera into into an electrical outlet and then hook the receiver (which is included) to a television set for live video surveillance. Recording is possible by linking the receiver to a VCR. Note that the wireless receiver also requires a wall outlet.

It can be linked to a computer or for transmission over the Internet, but additional hardware is required.
