Rechargeable Digital Pin-hole Spy Camera USB Drive Disgused as Working Pen (2GB) - Less than £20 delivered

£20.00

885°

FOUND BY: paul.jacobs 3 months, 4 days ago

Yes I know this is a dealextreme post but I think it may interest some people. I was looking for a spy camera last month and they have just dropped in price to about £20 from about £50 inc delivery. I have just bought one using Paypal.

Advice from other buyers is to ot use the disc supplied, just bin it if you order

I buy tons of stuff from dealextreme, their customer service is poor but they are mega cheap and resonably quick to deliver.

edit - $5 price drop since original posting - now $33.83

Edit - It arrived on Friday - 6 days from ordering, came in black and has 4gb of memory so it is better than advertised. Haven't used it yet though

Setting date and time for video stamp
1. Edit a .TXT file, as: 2008-05-18 10:08:28 (set this to the current time, check carefully to use the correct format.
2. Rename the txt file as userconfig.txt
3. Insert the pen to your computer, copy userconfig.txt to the root of the U_DISK of the pen.
4. Remove the pen from your computer, power off the pen, then power on, now the time will be set.
5. When complete, the time will be saved forever.
b) Operating
Press button once (shortly): LED turns yellow = standby.
Press again (shortly), LED turns blue (after about 1 sec) = recording.
Press again (shortly) = turns yellow again (standby).
Press and hold for about 4 secs: LED goes off (turn of from standby).
c) Charging
while connected to usb, LED flashes yellow = charging. When LED stops flashing and is yellow continiously = fully charged.

Looks real easy.

Start practising.

Found this while studying pics taken with this camera (drifted as we all do!!). Looks very good and def good VFM.

looks like it can be used as a pen drive too so has other uses.

Heat Added.
Thx

Best price seen

If you buy with a UK credit card - do they just convert it?

Yes they (Paypal) do, at their uncompetitive exchange rate. Best way to do it is in dollars with a Nationwide credit/debit card, because this doesn't load foreign transactions with a 2.75% conversion fee.

Well as i've already posted once might aswell add some more info based on mine.

Got my camera pen from DX about a week ago so have had some time to mess about with it.
Battery life is around 1 hour 45 mins on my unit, the videos recorded in this time take up about 170MB of the 2GB drive. The pen can only record for a maximum of 1 hour 30 mins, it will then save the video and start another, there is a delay about 12 seconds while this happens where the camera is not recording.

Other than that, both the video and audio are better than i expected and overall i'm happy with it ^_^

hen someone recieves this, can u be kind enough to take a video and upload it so that we can see the quality of the video? Also, how long can u record for? Or how long does the battery life last. If they had one in night vision camera, i would buy it straight away. Also how well/bad does it pick up on colours with poor lighting?
