Keychain Remote Car Alarm & Door Open Gizmo is actually VIDEO CAM!
November 11, 2009 by admin.
I LOVE gadgets! This new one is so cool I can’t get over it! I bought it on eBay for $.01 plus $13.99 shipping from Hong
Kong. Total = $14. This is even cooler than my watch video camera. It looks just like a regular car key-fob but shoots 720X480 30 frames per second video with audio. The gadget shoots up to 2 hours of video per charge. It uses a micro SD card for memory. I bought an 8 gig card for $20 at BJs Wholesale Club store. The 8 gig card will hold 16 hours of video. Nice thing is you can swap out the cards fast if you suspect someone will be checking you out. Pull the micro card and hide it just about anywhere, it’s the size of a quarter of a postage stamp. Even if they find the recorder they will never find the recording.
The video is really clear. Low light performance suffers a bit. If you wave it around, the video gets a bit skewed while it records. The sound is automatic and will clip a little if very loud sounds are suddenly recorded. White balance is based on the first frame of video, so if you move into different lighting you may see strange orange or blue tinting. The unit also takes 2 Mega-pixel still pics as well.
Imagine always having a video camera and still camera with you… that is actually clearer than your cell phone. Awesome! I highly advise getting this gadget.
