Remote Control Spy Video Car with Night Vision



Stealthy Watcher

It's night, but you are still at typing away. You are working late on some crazy new code which will revolutionize programming forever. Suddenly, your ninja senses tingle. Have I had too much caffeine, or is there someone else here? you wonder. No one must be allowed to steal your code. You ready your ninja weapons for an assault, but then pause: at the last office meeting you were chastised for your false-alarm ninja attacks on various objects in the kitchen. If only you could see in the dark and through walls…
Now, you can… with a little help. Just turn on your Spy Video Car, adjust the camera angle, turn on the night vision, put on the Heads Up Display (HUD) visor, and drive your way to the suspicious noise. That's right - this quiet R/C car has a video camera mounted on the front. It broadcasts to the black and white LCD HUD which plugs into the remote. You'll see everything your Spy Car sees (in bright light or in total darkness). And since it rides really low to the ground, you'll be able to go under tables, chair, pets, and anything else that gets in your way. And don't worry, it wasn't your ninja senses tingling this time; you really have had too much caffeine.

Idea of super spy camera

Spies are not born, spies become.

Very often it would be desirable to take a photograph of somebody or something but to make it in opened happens inconveniently, happens it is forbidden. I have a not small 8x zoom camera, so it is very difficult to use it imperceptibly. Reflecting above those problem, the idea of creation spy mega camera was born. The idea consists in division of the camera on 3 (or more) parts: an objective, the screen and the shutter button.

An objective, in itself, even at ultra-zooms, compact enough, it is possible to hide in a hand, a cap or somewhere else.






Often, the attention involves not the camera, and not directed an objective, attention involves directed a sight of the person how tries to make a picture. Accordingly, it is necessary to make that the photographer during the moment of shooting do not look at a photographed object. Thus, the screen of the camera, should be not simply rotary. It should be demountable and mobile. That, for example, it was possible to hold an objective in one hand, and the screen to hold in another.

Well and, at last, the shutter button. It too should be mobile. It is possible to combine with the screen, but it is better to make it not dependent. That the camera could be turn on remotely.
