A lot of people talk about the loss of privacy and the eroding of cultural taboos in this high-tech, internet-dwelling society of ours. Ok, why don’t we leave this kind of talk to the grandpas and grannies in the old folk’s home – let them curse these newfangled gadgets and the sinful ways of young people, and just get on with our lives. Let’s face it, this is the internet age and there is nothing to be done about it. We are used to vlogging, uploading pictures and videos on social network sites like Facebook, posting new material on our YouTube channel or just keeping an obscene amount of data on our hard drive for fear of ever forgetting the precious little moments of our happy, crazy youth. The thing is, despite all our efforts, we don’t always have a camera on our person and smart phones are often left with someone for safe keeping if we go splashing around in the sea or left at the hotel room on the charger. Sometimes all we get is lousy quality footage because the camera on our phone simply sucks. With the advent of the HD micro camera, new opportunities have opened up to us enthusiastic video and photo freaks. They come in almost any package imaginable and make it very easy to get some good pictures/footage in any possible situation as they are easy to carry around our person. Here are some particularly interesting models that you will find pretty useful. Water resistant HD spy cam watch We all enjoy getting some pictures taken and recording some video of ourselves on the beach or having some fun in the water on our summer vacation. The beach is also one of the few times where it is socially acceptable to show of your body without looking like self-absorbed ego maniac. Unfortunately phones don’t like water all that much and digital cameras are a bit clunky and difficult to carry around if we are wearing nothing but a pair of shorts or a bikini. A wristwatch on the other hand is attached to your person; you can even forget you have it on. High-quality spy watch models are waterproof to about 50 feet, and offer up to full 1080 HD video quality, even some infra-red night vision capabilities. You can film under water, in poor light conditions and you always have your camera with you, so if anything interesting happens in the spur of the moment you can capture it in full HD. This is an exceptionally useful tool for vloggers, and those of us with impulsive and unpredictable friends. Hidden camera glasses Now, these come in a variety of models, ranging from inconspicuous 720p HD video capable glasses to “obviously a camera” looking glasses with about a 640x480 resolution. It is pretty easy to find good models and you have several choices: Regular, thick framed prescription glasses More streamlined prescription glasses Sunglasses These can be worn at all times and will give you easy access to video recording or picture snapping capability. They usually have about 8GB of internal memory and offer 720p video quality. Just start filming without having to worry about getting the right angle or holding the camera steady – whatever you see, the camera sees. Keychain camera Don’t expect HD picture with this one, but it is a super-compact package and is great for capturing events that catch you of guard and without a camera in sight. You’ll get a decent 640x480 at 30 frames per second and audio recording, with an 8 GB built-in memory and a micro USB port. It is easy to operate with an ON and OFF button. It is incredibly light and small, so it is a good choice for a backup camera that you can attach to your pants or keychain. There you have it, the incredibly useful and virtually unnoticeable cameras that can serve you well in pretty much any occasion that warrants a bit of filming or if you are just hanging out with friends and decide to snap a few pictures. They are also pretty good conversation starters, so you can have quite a bit of fun with them.
