Surveillance

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Howdy all. Question, if I can be helped that is. Were I to want and setup up a camera in my own household for some suspected dubious activity from relatives, what might be the best tiny little cam to purchase? How much might that run me?

Depends. Do you want it in the toilet or in the shower?

Doesn't sound like a very funny situation.

Well, I did some cursory web searching and found this

Nah, need something a bit more discreet. I'm attempting spy equipment sites right now. Just thought maybe some of the more colorful folk you find at TransFans might have the item. Gracias though.

I would assume that discretion has an inverse relationship with price. That is to say, the more discreet and small you get, the more expensive it's gonna be.

So, this leads me to believe you're about to blow a large amount of money on some cool little cameras.

To a degree, probably. And I just need one. Can't go crazy, got usual payments, the kiddo's first birthday and BotCon coming up afterall.

I have one of those little Sipix Blink cameras on top of my monitor which I lead people to believe is on all the time, despite the fact that it's not even plugged in.

Now that's psychological.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

But then you can't find out who's doing what 'cos they're too scared to try in case they get caught. Perhaps Covenant wants to catch 'em out.

How about renting the cameras for a short time - that might be cheaper.
