We have customized complete bodyworn camera system that will work the best for mystery shopping, investigation needs & for personal protection. These self contained systems do not require any external battery pack. These are the most simple & reliable body worn camera system in the market.
The Body Worn Camera System (With LCD Screen & 30G HD) offers support for a PC or MAC, can be powered with an optional External Battery Power unit. It is also features a Color Camera.
What is the minimum focusing distance of a camera?
All our camera including pinhole cameras (but except for a hidden cameras where you can not turn the lens), can macro focus to an object as close as 1mm between the lens and the object.
Are the sample videos true representation of a camera quality?
Yes, and since we had to convert the original video to a format viewable for everyone (flash), the video quality of the actual camera would be about 10% better.
Can you recommend a good media player to playback videos taken by your all-in-one camera?
Many times, Windows Media Player will not play the video because it might not have a proper codec installed. We recommend the following players.
No, pen cameras or any other portable digital recording devices does not make any noises.
How can I focus the pinhole lens?
Turn the lens counter-clockwise to the point where it almost falls out. Connect the camera to TV and turn the lens clockwise slowly until it focus. Ba careful not to bottom out, it will crack the CCD sensor.
How long can a body worn camera record?
You can record about 2.5 hours per 1Gb memory. However actual recording time will be limited by the battery life. Typically, the built-in battery can last up to 1.5 hours. There are also external auxiliary battery option available to make it last up to 5 hours or more.
I don't always have access to the pc. can I play back the video on tv?
Yes, all all-in-one cameras that records on a SD card (except for the pen cameras) can also have TV out put to play back on a TV:

Is there a body worn camera for a child?
We do get a lot of inquiries but there are no ideal system for a body worn camera system for a child. Since there are components that needs to be mounted and would be to cumbersome and heavy for a child to wear. We do have a small pen like cameras but battery will not last long enough and the operation would be too difficult for a child to turn it on at the right moment . Best alternative would be just placing a small voice recorder.
Is there a camera that I can hide in a dipper bag that can watch my infant with an outside sitter.
Unfortunately, video recording would be too difficult for the application. Audio might be much easier. We do have a small pen like cameras but battery will not last long enough and the operation would be too difficult for a child to turn it on at the right moment . Besides the camera will most like be looking at a wrong direction. We recommend for you to get a micro voice recorder and hide in the dipper bag.
Why don't you post samples videos for all other cameras?
Video quality of a camera really depends on the recorder that is connected to. Also, since cameras are analog, it need to be converted to digital format to post on the web, loosing resolution in the process. That is why we only have sample videos for "all in one system" that has a built-in digital recorder.
GENERAL QUESTIONS ON CAMERAS
Can a camera see in total dark?
Cameras can not see in total darkness. You will need IR illuminators http://www.spycameras.com/other,led-lamps.html either built around the camera lens or as a separate lighting source (only for a B/W camera or a D/N camera). We do carry cameras that works in very low light conditions. Lower the lux rating, better it is under low light.
Does your cameras work with different voltage for other countries?
Most of our camera come with a power adapter that can handle form 110V ~240V AC.
In case of a direct AC plug-in camera such as clock radio camera
We will include the 220V to 110V (60Hz) step-down converter.
However, if your country uses 50Hz, the time on the clock, because it is digital, will not be correct (off about 20 min a day)
How does a camera adjust to different lighting level?
Every camera has auto electronic iris built-in. Unlike a human iris or other camera, there is no mechanical diaphragm that controls light intake, rather shutter speed changes automatically. Level of adjustment is very wide from low light to very bright light. You can actually place the camera an inch away from a lit 100W light bulb and still be able to read clearly the label on the bulb.
How does a camera work with a bright spot lighting source.
All cameras come with auto-electronic iris control. In a case in low light the iris will open up and brighten the picture automatically (however limited to it's lux rating)As long as the camera is not facing directly toward a light source in low light, it'll be OK. However if a light source would be on the screen, the iris will close thus darkening the picture of the surrounding.
How far or how much can you see with a camera?
Cameras can see Infinite, therefore It all depends on the size of the object. Wider the angle of the lens, smaller it will appear but area coverage will be greater. You can not have both zoomed in view and cover wide area. Most of our cameras come standard with wide angle lens (75 deg horiz) that will cover the whole room if placed at the corner looking towards the center of the room.
Most of our cameras come with around 4mm lens providing 75 deg in horizontal angle (for 1.3" CCD). That means if the camera is placed at the corner looking towards the center of the room, it'll cover most of the room regardless of its size.
Also all camera lenses are fixed focus and will focus to an object from about 2 ft away to infinity.
