Spy cameras - nothing new here, right? Embedded cameras have been around for years, but now they are becoming more affordable and in more products for the average consumer. Here we’re going to talk about some of the various types of cameras that are available right now.

Kicking off our list is the calculator spycam. It’s a desktop calculator with a very small video camera embedded in its side. It is well disguised, because it really functions as a calculator. Expect to get at least 25 frames per second at a 320×240 resolution. Also look for multiple video and photo recording formats, such as AVI, MPEG4, and MP3.

Of course, we had to include a surveillance camera watch. These wristwatches look like those straight out of a James Bond movie. Chic looking, with the camera lens embedded in the face of the watch. One such watch, for example, has the lens well hidden in one of the numbers. Due to the smaller size, the video quality isn’t quite as nice as in a larger device. It is still remarkable for something you can get for under $200.

Another very spy movie-like device is spy cam sunglasses. These should take both video and photos. Look for a model that can shoot at least with a 1.3 Megapixel resolution. Again, under $200, you can turn into a secret agent fast.

Now let’s say you need to get some ariborne shots. Then get a spy plane! Perfect for recon! Most people wouldn’t even stop to think that a remote controlled plane could take photos or record video.

If you would rather keep things on the ground, then there are lots of options for RC cars and trucks with embedded cameras. You could even attach your own camera to an RC toy. Some will even instantly transmit video wirelessly to a headset or other screen.

If you have kids and want to keep an eye on the nanny or babysitter, then you’ll want something a bit different. A desktop calculator may not cut it as it won’t fit in in a child’s bedroom or the living room. Look around for toys that also have spycams embedded in them. Some of these will even record and transmit in real-time (like a webcam). Some can even be viewed over the Internet. Then all you need to see what’s going on at home, is a computer and Web browser hooked up to the Internet.
