A Spy Cam is a type of micro DVR which is built into a deceptive package and made to resemble a small object, such as a key fob, wrist watch or lipstick case. Known by numerous terms such as cam stick, Gum cam, thumb cam, etc., these devices will often function according to their apparent purpose, as in a pen cam that actually writes. They are often very cheap mini electronic devices with great flexibility.
Starting in 2008, spy cams became increasingly popular due to their falling prices. This was a consequence of advances in flash memory technology, which made available cheap, surface mount chips of over a giga-byte capacity, which meant that the cams could typically record over an hour of low resolution video onto built-in memory before needing to off load their recorded content. [citation needed] A typical spy cam is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion or lithium-ion polymer battery, has small, colored LEDs to indicate its operational status, and is controlled by switches and/or buttons on its surface. It may also have a slot/receptacle for a micro SD flash memory card which will expand its recording capacity by several hours. In order to off load the recorded video, it must be connected to a computer's USB port, at which point it will function as a conventional thumb drivethat contains standard video files. [citation needed] These days spy camera software Softcam is readily available for most digital devices that have a camera inbuilt.
These are available for PCs, laptops and even mobile phones. Although, there are laws in some countries against the use of Mobile phone camera without the knowledge of the target.
