Lipstick Camera
A Lipstick Camera is perfect for capturing things that you would have never been able to see with regular cameras. A lot of my friends think that I am paranoid. I live in a pretty nice neighborhood after all, and yet I insist on using the latest surveillance equipment to protect my house. I even carry a lipstick camera with me at all times, just in case I have to surreptitiously catch something on film. But my response is this: why take chances? Why be unprepared? I have had my house burglarized twice, although this was before I moved to my current neighborhood. In my opinion though, it just makes sense to have a lipstick camera with me at all times. After all, no one makes fun of me for carrying mace. Why should I be ridiculed just because I would like to be able to capture any would-be assailant on film? To me lipstick cameras are just a good idea.
And another thing; having small, portable, digital surveillance cameras opens up the possibilities of all kinds of fun. Why, when I go spelunking, I can take my lipstick camera, mounted on my hardhat, and use it as a helmet camera. If I am having an especially good conversation with a friend, no matter where we are, I can capture the whole thing on video – with sound in all – so that we can both enjoy the whole thing later. There is just no substitution for having this kind of freedom, if you ask me. My digital lipstick camera is by far my favorite toy. Everyone should own a lipstick digital camera.
Of course, for the most part, a lipstick camera is really just for fun. The really important part is a closed-circuit TV, or CCTV video surveillance system. Many people like to hide their video surveillance, but I would rather have mine out in the open. That way, if anyone breaks into my house, or even thinks about it, they will know that every move they make will be caught on surveillance camera. I think that this will make any would-be intruders think twice, don’t you? Between that and my lipstick camera, I have to admit I feel much safer than it would otherwise. And after all, that is what spy gear is about. Whether it is a lipstick camera, closed-circuit TV, phone taps, or tap detectors, the whole point is to make you feel safer. If it does that, it is worth it. And besides, a lipstick camera is so much more portable than a security blanket.
