microscopic cameras to keep an eye on everything

Posted by Lemons Alicia on September 19th, 2016

We are used to seeing in many action movies, spy and science fiction multitude of recording devices and surveillance of microscopic size. The logic is sometimes think that it is simple fruit of the imagination of the writers, because these devices do not usually see them on a daily basis (in fact its function is to go unnoticed), but the truth is that there are mini spy cameras that could well be part of a new installment of "Mission: Impossible".

The possibilities for miniaturization of the lenses, as well as spy devices for storing information, makes the camouflage these spy cameras or surveillance cameras much easier than before. The other point in its favor is that we are surrounded by small devices, both electronic and non-electronic, which can very easily hide one of these tiny lenses and a small microphone. We are talking for example of mini-cameras that can be placed in the charging stations or "docks" to recharge the iPhone, alarm clocks, bulbs or digital clocks. But also there to blend seamlessly into objects such as wallets, pictures or books. It sounds like a spy movie, right? But the truth is that it is a reality within reach, thanks to technological advances. You can even put mini cameras with motion sensors in such everyday and so common in places such as meeting rooms objects, such as water bottles. The possibilities are almost as many as the imagination allows.

Furthermore, in terms of capacity and autonomy it has been considerable progress in the last decade, mainly as a result of increased battery life designed for smartphones and computers, the technology can be applied on a small scale to all kinds of gadgets. Therefore, even if it is a spycamera smaller size, we can let it run in a certain place, leave there and go back to 8 hours to ensure its continued working and recording images in its memory. Or even if we are in the same room, we can operate the devices by remote control without anyone noticing.
