USB-Shaped Spy Cams

The Thanko USB Memory Camera Offers Recording Abilities Without Fuss

— July 10, 2013 — Tech
If you suspect that there's someone prying into your private things that shouldn't be, the Thanko USB Memory Camera can help to stealthy catch the culprit redhanded. Small and cleverly shaped like a thumb drive, the Thanko USB Memory Camera looks and acts like a regular device, but features the secret function of being able to capture scenes in complete stealth.

The Thanko USB Memory Camera will provide up to an hour of footage on a two to three hour charge, which means that it can offer just the right amount of recording to capture what happens after you've left your home or office. If catching a thief or snooper in the act isn't something you're looking to do, the Thanko USB Memory Camera can be used for other things, too; especially if you're a secret agent.
