Plain-looking exit sign comes with hidden camera!

This is something you won’t notice at all. It’s just an “exit” sign which looks so plain that you wouldn’t expect there were some sophistications hidden inside. Hidden inside the “exit” sign are a universal AC only camera and a high power 2.4 GHz transmitter. The combination of these two on this plain-looking exit sign is simply cool, which you can have it fixed at common places such as the exit of a shopping complex, car park etc. And the images captured by the camera can be transmitted by the transmitter wirelessly up to 2,500 feet away.

As mentioned, it’s especially good for commercial places. But if your boss decides to stick one on the door of your office room, then you could be in a big trouble that your boss is pretty interested in every single moment of you in the office. Anyway, with extra stuff loaded in it, it’s definitely much more expensive than any “exit” sign that you know. It costs $431.99. So, would you consider to buy one and stick it in your room and deceive your significant other that it’s just for the sake of decoration?

World’s smallest single chip camera is smaller than a match head

It’s really so small, smaller than a match head, as shown on the picture. It’s the single chip camera, OV6920 CameraChip, just introduced by TDC. The sensor chip is only 1.4mm (1/18 inch), which enables microscopic camera modules to be setup at a total size of 3.2mm in diameter. You know, what the baddies could do using such a hardly noticeable camera and it’s so easy to get it hidden at any corner to take any snapshot of you’re changing, bathing…. It’s only capable of shooting at low resolution of 328×250, but I think that’s all enough for doing the mentioned. The chip is configurable for NTSC output and can adjust its color saturation, exposure and gain automatically. This chip needs only low 3.3V DC power supply, suitable for low-power applications, especially good for those spy gears or the good side for medical application.
