From James Bond to Mission Impossible, covert cameras are always a spy's best friend. However, these covert cameras are real-life products that you can own yourself if you need to catch someone in the act.
These days, cameras keep getting smaller and smaller as more megapixels get packed into tinier devices. And it's not just that the cameras are getting smaller, they are also being packaged more covertly. For instance, some cameras are made to look like other products like juice boxes, USB keys and toothbrushes. These products follow in the footsteps of "nanny cams," which over the years have caught more than a few unfit caregivers doing things they weren't supposed to.
Overall, covert cameras are great security tools because they can be placed anywhere in the home without detection.
