Compact And Easy To
Conceal
Thanks to the miniature nature of the Spy cam and its marker resemblance,
it is real easy to conceal it. A small keyhole allows you to attach a keychain,
ring, keyfob or real car keys to the minidv camera. After all, who notices
anything attached to a keyring, even if it were a bullet! In fact, a quick
glance gives the appearance of a USB drive attached to a ring.
Image Capture
The gadget not only takes videos but also snaps pictures in hd quality.
The images upon review resemble what one would expect from a helmet cameras
considering one would ideally be wearing the marker DV camera clipped onto the
front of the shirt. Same goes for video playback although quality wise it can
be bloated up to a jumbo size thanks to the gracious 5 MP camera sensors.
Simple To Use
The KGB mini sdhc HD 808 camera has playback and recording buttons
hidden on its surface but ergonomically designed so as to remember their
location. Test it out with a few pictures first and then start using the video
recording capability. Because it records instantly, there is hardly any waiting
time involved.
