Just Released: 3rd Generation Black Box Hidden Camera
One our most popular hidden cameras has been our Black Box Hidden Camera, which we designed as the “go anywhere” hidden camera. It simply looks like a small black box, so it blends in into any environment.
We are excited to announce that our Black Box Hidden Camera has evolved once again, and the 3rd Generation Black Box Hidden Camera is now available.
Just like it’s predecessor, the Black Box Hidden Camera is small – only 4.5″ by 4.5″ (and about an inch tall). This allows it to go anywhere – on a shelf, on a bookcase, table – virtually anywhere!
Don’t let it’s small size fool you however, inside are some amazing features that makes this hidden camera the best on the market.
One of the best new features to this 3rd Generation model is the addition of “body heat activated” motion-activated recording. Unlike traditional motion-activation, this advanced type of motion-detection allows the camera to remain in “standby” until body heat is detected. This virtually eliminates battery-drain, allowing for up to 5 days of battery life on a single charge!
Just like previous models, video is recorded to a micro SD card, and video can be played back directly on your TV through the included RCA cables, or you can view on your PC by simply removing the memory card and inserting it into a card reader. Maximum capacity for the micro SD card is now a massive 64GB, which can record weeks worth of HD video!
You can configure over a dozen different recording settings easily by connecting the Black Box Hidden Camera to your TV, using the included RCA cables and IR remote control.

Bill Would Make Digital Snooping By Employers Illegal
If you have a Facebook account, or any other online that you’ve stored information, whether that is a email account, photo-sharing account, or even a Twitter account, bills introduced in both houses of Congress would limit your employer’s ability to gain access to those accounts.
In what is becoming a hot topic right now, employers asking for Facebook and other passwords are becoming more and more common. Whether it is done as a condition of hiring, or simply as a “routine” check to monitor their employees actions, employers all across the US are asking employees or potential employees to allow them access to their private accounts.
This can be a very tricky situation, as many people keep their accounts private so that only their friends or close acquaintances can view the information they post. But when you’re looking to get (or even maintain) a job – how can you tell your boss “no”?
The new “Password Protection Act” and another billed nicknamed SNOPA would limit employer’s ability to ask for this information – essentially keeping your private information private.
Until one of these bills is passed however, which could be months away, we recommend making sure never to post information that you wouldn’t want your boss (or even your mother) to see online, because as soon as you post it, someone could easily save a screenshot of it and pass it along to someone else.

Security Camera Catches Amazing Hit and Run Aftermath
We all know that hit-and-runs are bad.
When someone hits someone and then tries to flee the scene, not only are they doing something unethical, but something illegal as well.
A few days ago security cameras caught a hit-and-run involving a teen driver in a car and a bicyclist. After the teen strikes the person on the bicycle, they tried to flee the scene.
Check out the video below to see the aftermath of when this driver tries to get away:
Kinda makes you smile huh?

GPS Tracking with No Monthly Fees? Try the iTrail GPS Data Logger
When you are looking for GPS tracking, you may notice that many of the trackers on the market require a monthly fee. Why is this?
The reason most gps trackers require a monthly fee is because they are actively transmitting that positioning information through the airwaves, so that you can track the vehicle from your web browser. This active transmitting requires data usage on the same network that your cellphone uses, hence the monthly fees.
Want to avoid the monthly fees? Look no further – the iTrail GPS Data Logger.
The nice thing about the iTrail GPS Data Logger is that there are NO monthly fees. This is because unlike live GPS trackers, data loggers like the iTrail don’t transmit live data – instead they save the data to the device itself.
So how do you view the GPS data?
Unlike live trackers that you can access your live tracking data through a web browser, data loggers like the iTrail GPS come equipped with powerful software that utilize Google Maps so you can view the data on your computer.
When you’re ready to view the data, simply remove the tracker from your car, connect it to your computer, and view exactly where your car has been!
Getting started the iTrail is simple:
- Charge the iTrail by connecting it to your computer
- Mount the tracker under your vehicle, or place it in a backpack
- When you are ready to view the location history, remove the device from the car
- Connect the iTrail to your computer and download the driving data
The Cost Savings of the iTrail:
In addition to saving $30-$40 dollars a month in tracking fees, the price of the iTrail GPS Data Logger is also significantly cheaper than most live tracking devices. This could save you hundreds of dollars!
The iTrail GPS Data Logger is available today for only $189, and is available with an optional magnetic mount tracking case.
Macintosh Compatible Hidden Cameras and Nanny Cams
While PC’s once ruled the personal computer world, Macintosh computers are becoming more and more common for both business and personal use.
With the rise in popularity of Mac computers, we frequently have customers who are looking for Macintosh compatible hidden cameras and Mac compatible nanny cams.
While some of our hidden cameras are not Mac compatible, the vast majority of them are. The reason so many are compatible is because the majority of our hidden cameras (and even most of our mini spy cameras) record to an SD or Micro SD card. That card can then be removed from the device, and inserted into any Macintosh computer’s card reader.
Since the video files are in standard AVI, MPG, or MOV format, they can easily be played back on any standard media player on a Mac computer.
Note: Sometimes if your video drivers aren’t updated regularly, the video may show all black during playback. This can be easily resolved by either updating your computer regularly, or downloading a free media player called VLC Media Player.
VLC Media Player includes all the latest video driver updates, and is compatible with both Macintosh and PC computers.
So browse through our Macintosh Compatible Hidden Cameras, and if you have any questions about any of those cameras, or any of our products, feel free to contact our product experts who will answer any question you have.
