Green Peace Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Ok...any old excuse to play with NEW toys. I recently acquired a Radio scanner that tunes in hidden cameras and TV link frequencies as well as recieveing Police aircraft PMR etc etc...and it has a little video screen on it (Icom IC-R3) I then thought what a great idea to have an infrared camera installed in my car so when I am in a hotel room I can sit the monitor by my bed and get instant pics, also it will be useful to check up on dodgy Mechanics whist they are fixing my car and because it has audio too, I will be able to hear dialogue like ' lets smother some oil over it Bones and tell him hes gort a major oil leak' type of thing. Its an experiment at this stage, but it could prove useful...what do ya reckon or am i nuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I could think of more 'interesting' things to do with a contraption like that, but I think that makes me even more worrying than you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK showers then...but prob is the lens will steam up....strangely enough I was playing around with it (the scanner that is) on a journey back from Tescos and I picked up a hidden camera in a shower in Bushey just near Bushey train station...think it must be some dodgy Landlord or something...its so much fun this toy.

Green Peace Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 My Spy camera arrived this morning and to be honest its not very good, its supposed to be colour...but I cant see any in the picture...the radio range is excellent, I even tried putting it in the microwave oven (as its screened) and it still sent pictures out. theres a major problem with the in built iris, it shuts down to black if its moved, which is as good as usless if ya fit it in a motor. I have to say though the pictures in complete darkness with the infrared is excellent (and thats sposed to be in black n white) Any way sending it back....its rubbish dosn't do what it says on the tin...I'll try find another one..
