SODDIT – They See You Recording Them…
Strange & ODDity In Technology – welcome to SODDIT, a hopeful new regular at MP4Nation. We’ll scour the internet superstores and bring to you the intriguing, the weird, the strange, the odd, and the downright unbelievable. Please, don’t let the loose stringency of our acronym naming system turn you away.
In this edition of SODDIT, we’re showcasing the many different ways of ineffectively hiding a camera in order to spy on your loved ones strangers and intruders. That’s right, instead of showing you an array of boring household items that bear a miniscule dot for a camera, we’re showing you great big lenses attached to things that will only work on someone that does not own a pair of eyes. Before we begin, I thought it best to indulge a little on why spy cams are so great. It can’t be denied that candid TV shows or even personally caught hilarity’s are a sheer barrel of laughs. The whole act of candidly catching someone act how they truly are within an environment they think is private is, well, an invasion of their privacy, but also something to share with the grand kids, assuming that the act caught is a safe one of course. Spy cams also have their obvious, serious uses such as catching thieves and trespassers – all the more reason to make your spy cam as inconspicuous as possible. In other words, don’t buy the following.
First up we have the Third Eye Cam. The TEC is a super slick spy cam that you wear over your forehead in order to secretly spy on the subject you’re already looking at. Acting as a third eye, you can use your lame original two eyes to suss out, wink at, or impress by crossing them at your subject, whilst your third cam eye records every detail of their reaction. Not only that, but all the chicks will dig your stylish secret agent look. If you are a female spy – there’s nothing sexier than a big shiny lens attached to your forehead – NOTHING!
Next up is the delicious looking Spie cam. It’s a cam inside a slice of pie. It is a fantastic piece of culinary technology with but a with a couple of minor flaws: you’ll need to fast forward past all that fridge footage, and your Spie cam might end up in the belly of a hungry family member. We don’t blame them though, it does look delicious (notice the ravenous and excited look on the young boys face).
Here we have the alcoholic’s favoured spy cam – the “Don’t-drink-my-bottle-of-wine-because-by-the-time-I’ve-found-out-who-did-it-will-be-too-late-anyway” cam. What’s great about this particualr cam is that it has a 360 degree view of its surroundings via turning the bottle. But what if someone accidentally leaves it facing the wall? You are done for then. Certainly an angle I’d advise against. It also seemingly has a high rate of being discarded post use of the bottles content. We’re still working on why that is…
Humans are great to spy on, but let’s not forget about out furry friends. Catching your local polar bear in a hilarious candid faux pas or embarrassing fall is worth every penny you’ll have spent purchasing the odd non-iceberg shaped spy cam. However, polar bears tend to have high tempers when caught. Please note that odd non-iceberg shaped spy cam may be subject to some rough and tumble by caught polar bear – no one like’s their faux pas recorded.
Lastly, we have an obvious spy cam that’s actually not that obvious. “After all, we had to give you some usable information in this post!” This electronic spy camera t-shirt that has a design showing a secret agent taking a picture with a spy cam is in fact, a spy cam. “It’s so obvious that it isn’t.” The camera can be used via remote connected by wire hidden under the T-Shirt. Pretty awesome stuff. We wonder how we’re suppose to wash it though… “after all, we had to give you some usable information in this post!”
