Spy Camera Hidden in a Book Could Use a Better Book to Hide In
Posted by Adam Frucci at 10:30 AM on December 12, 2007
As if you needed yet another household object to hide a spy cam in, here's a book camera. It hides a pinhole camera and microphone and can record video for you to check out from afar. The only problem? It'll cost you over $1,500, which is more than some therapy to get you over your addiction to peeping would set you back. Oh, another problem would be trying to sneak that Marcia Clark book into someone's shelf without them noticing. I mean, really, is that the most subtle book they could find? Were they out of copies of I Might Be Wrong, But I Doubt It by Charles Barkley? [Product Page via Red Ferret]

RE: Book Choice, perhaps they were worried someone would pick it up an read it.

I think the books ok as camouflage, you don't want to select a book someone is likely to actually pick up to try and read. That'd give the game away :-)

Seriously. I would put it in something like a hungarian thesaurus. An old one.

I think they chose that title because the publisher still had 98.7% of the first publication run doing nothing in the warehouse.
Camera maker got it cheap.

Instead of a book, why not hide it in a book stop or the bookshelf?

I'd yank that one off the shelf for some last minute re-gift action. Not a good choice.
It would have to be something you would never pick-up, yet never want to get ride of...hmmm

And probably even add voice capture in the process, for free.

ROFL... nice try.
One could DIY such a thing 1000 bucks cheaper and more convincing than that.

Ok now, correct if I'm wrong but, what the heck is a "Concealed Toilet Seat Security Cam" they have listed on their site going to be used for? Are nanies over-flushing toilets again?
