    I know the officially say it's an IR laser, but I'm thinking it's red LEDs since otherwise you'd need a camera to see it, or the lenses you detect would need to be coated in IR-fluorescent material... and of course if it used lasers you'd never get the lucky shot on a hidden camera.

    Wow, that one's expensive! I've seen the detectors before though - basically they just optimally glare off things straight back at your eye.

    @mfusion: Nope... the orange filter only keeps certain wavelengths from coming through, so if it allowed IR, it'd come through as IR and you still wouldn't see it. I'm 99% certain that it's RED LEDs and a case of Chinese product packaging... (Like a watch I saw today made in Shenzhen that says "London" on it because... it looks good.)

    I've seen cheaper versions with no wifi detector that have a red filter - I think the only reason it's colored is because it'd allow whatever color is shone from the lights on it, and might keep colors like blue from catching your eye if they're also reflected off something.

    Seems like the whole point of hidden cameras is to hide them somewhere inconspicuous. Some one seeing this can will be likely to try and open it or recycle it. Put it in a clock. No one messes with clocks. #cokespycam

    They're using the old Coke Zero logo. In the newer one, each letter gets thinner than the last in the real one.

    @Hiro-of-Shadows: Good catch. Also the new logo bugs me because the typeface changes letter to letter. the "r" is very round whereas the "z" has much sharper edges. I should get back on those meds. #cokespycam

    @toejam07: And it had back windows. Everyone knows Pedo-Vans have no back windows for the child to kick out. This again why I suggest we cross breed fainting goats with children, so that in abduction situations, they will stiffen up and fall over. This saves all the regular children from the pedo's.

    @Segador: There's a reason EVERYTHING is under the name "GitEmSteveDave", from Gmail, AIM, here, Photobucket, etc. Even my GoogleVoice number ends in GESD. I enjoy the convos, honestly. I really like it when people IM me to tell me a cam is frozen or my bed is unmade. Oh, and it more than likely was a pair of shorts, as up until recently, I didn't have my AC unit running. I'm either in shorts and a t-shirt or loungepants and a t-shirt/hoody.

    @Bigbadbikernerd: Most of my visits are one time only shots, which I don't mind. It's the people that refresh it 30 times a minute expecting it to update "live" even though it says it's every two minutes that bug me.

    @Curves: Awwwww. Now I'm blushing!
