Profile:
The "Grand Daddy" of disguised cameras is back and better than EVER. Now an even sharper and lower-light chipset, this is FINALLY available in black pen color. Since this is physically a little larger than most average size pens, the old bright gold color became a 'dead-ringer' to spot for anyone with any knowledge of covert video.
Don't confuse this with most similar-looking 'factory-made' covert cameras you'll find out there- many of which feature shoddy placements of junk components and easy-to-spot giant lens holes. This is a patented design with a good reason. With the newly revised 1/3" Hyundai® DSP (digital signal processing) CCD imager chipset, the picture quality is very close to our enclosed case #BW-2/5HAD cameras, as well as the exposed board #BW-1HAD. Not quite as much super low lux ability as the new Sony® stuff, but this camera will image very well in dimly-lit situations
With its standard composite video output, this unit can be interfaced with ANY of our wireless transmitters or recorders (including micro mobile DVRs).
2 things that are great about a chest-area mounted camera:
1. A chest-height mount tends to create the 'best' universal place to put a camera to attain video that most resembles the wearer's perspective. This may come as a surprise to many shoppers who wrongly assume wrongly assume that a hat or eyeglass camera would provide the best viewpoint since the camera is mounted near the user's eyes. While a head mount does provide the user a more dynamic ability to manipulate the direction of the camera, the viewpoint of a flat mounted camera will feature a lot of sky and ceilings in the top half of the frame.
2. Also, hat and eyeglass cameras also typically require that at least some part of the wire(s) providing power to camera and video from camera to recorder or transmitter. Most of our professional users realize that those type of cameras (even if specially designed for the individual user's height and desired view, are generally unfeasible for covert applications. Because of the way cameras create a horizontal by vertical 'aspect ratio'.
We carry ONLY the LATEST and BEST in CCD chipset technology and circuit board engineering (both aspects are critical to produce a high quality camera)! Too many in our industry are still liquidating 'antiques' on an unsuspecting public, often even unaware themselves that better technology exists.
Common Applications:
• Mobile/ portable/ bodyworn covert solution for investigators, undercover journalists and mystery shoppers
Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:
We also have a neat little wireless CMOS color pen camera, the #WMP-6, which is a camera, wireless transmitter and power source all crammed into a standard size pen which actually writes.
Cautions
:
This is a non-weatherproof camera, and as such- must be treated with extra care and NEVER left outdoors or exposed to the elements without the proper protective housings.
