Dalek Hidden Camera is the Worst Way to Spy on Time Lords

Fans of British sci-fi favo(u)rite Doctor Who might be wary of conscripting a Dalek to do security work for them, but if you enjoy a little REC-ORD-ING along with your EXT-ERM-IN-AT-ION, you can now do just that.

Security Camera System Busts Homeless Woman Who Lived Undetected in a Man's Closet For a Year

A homeless woman in Japan was recently busted by the police for trespassing after the man who had been unknowingly harboring her began to notice that food was disappearing from his kitchen. To discover the source of the problem, he had security cameras installed that transmitted images to his cellphone. It wasn't long before the cameras captured someone moving in his home, so he called the police who proceeded to thoroughly search the premises. They eventually found a woman cowering in the closet who later revealed that she had been living there for a year. More »

Install one of these "See Me TV" Security Cam mirrors in your home and give your guests something to think about on their next trip to the bathroom.

Shower Mirror Doubles as Hidden Camera

We've seen spy cams hit a 9 on the perve-o-meter before, but this one here is close to pushing a 10. The Shower Mirror Security Camera has a built-in FM radio that lets your unassuming suspect listen to their favorite tunes as they shower, but what they don't know is that on the other end you'll be secretly watching them thanks to the Mirror's accompanying USB receiver which plugs into your PC and lets you wirelessly watch and record all the action (you know, for security purposes). It's not as advanced as the spycam alarm clock, but for straight out perving, it goes straight to the point. It's selling for $279 bucks. More »

Smarthome Solar Security Camera: Zero-Wire Surveilance

It isn't as fancy as an IP based camera from D-Link. But this security camera keeps an eye on your property, using only power from the sun. The solar driven device only transmits A/V when it senses movement (up to 26 feet away.) Its video stream transmits over the crowded 2.4Ghz range, which means it might bite into your WiFi network, or receive interference from your microwave. And its receiver only has basic A/V outputs, you might want to get a time-lapse VCR to catch the action. But with zero wires and a 250-foot range, you can set this thing up right next to a hot neighbor's bathroom window...or, um, in your backyard. More »
