There is an episode of The Simpsons from way back in the first season where Bart Simpson ordered a spy camera, and hilarity ensued. Actually, the best part was Bart saying to the mail carrier, “where is my spy camera” supposedly for six months. That’s pretty much how we feel about the new spy watch camera that was released this summer.
This wasn’t your run of the mill spy watch camera either. This was a 4GB waterproof, motion detection, spy watch, hidden camera with mini DVR. How’d they get all that stuff in the camera-watch we don’t know, but it is worth noting that this sleek time keeping device didn’t come from Japan either, this is Chinese technology at its finest. As with many Chinese products it is hard to tell exactly who made it, kind of like how it is hard to tell exactly what is in Chinese food. We did find that this watch (Model TL-WSC-010) is sourced by Omejo Technology from Hong Kong.
According to the top secret dossier – that would be website – this camera is waterproof to 30 meters of water, can record videos at 30fps with 640×480 resolution (sorry no HD), and it can record up to two hours of video, and can take still pictures with resolution up to 1280×720. It is plug&play compatible, and can hold up to 4GB of data, which can be transferred via USB.
We’ve heard that it shouldn’t be used a diving watch, so undersea filming isn’t recommended, but the watch will stand up to basic spills and can get wet without worry. Otherwise this is a pretty nifty little timepiece that can double as a video or still camera. Spy stuff indeed, but the only question is who exactly wears a watch these days?
The Simpsons is a great show.
