Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests It's called the looxcie and you stick it in your ear like a bluetooth headset. It costs $200 and comes with a built in mike. Resolution is 320x480 with 5 hours recording time in MP4 format. See: Looxcie wearable camcorder will take your lifecasting to the next, boring level -- Engadget Also: Looxcie Wearable Camcorder: Capture Unexpected Moments Amazon will stock it as soon as it's available.
Re: Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests While 320 x 480 is barely usable, the resolution looks pretty nice there in the sample video. This would be an excellent addition to any anon's toolbox of electronic devices. I carry so much crap I have my own EMF field.
Re: Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests I use this one. an AIPTEK Pencam very small, but does decent HD footage.
Re: Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests Me and a few cohorts, against the wishes of the local cell, captured dozens of hours of boring conversations with scilons using a pen camera, a sunglasses camera and a cell phone disguised as a pack of smokes. I think having a camera rolling at all times is a good idea and that a hidden one will allow you to catch stuff they wouldn't do if they saw it but check local laws. sometimes covert recordings are not admissible.
Re: Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests There are some pretty good covert camera systems out there which cost less, usually $100 - $200. The OP device is good however if you want them to know they are being recorded as a deterrent.

Re: Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests Did someone tell the local 7-11s that their security cameras are useless? I suspect that an actual violent crime (not just baawing or a he said/she said dispute) would be a different story. And even if it's not admissible, there's always Trial by YouTube.
Re: Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests I used these a couple of years back, they were very good compared to most spy wear at the time (they were also nearly triple the price then too but that's technology for you). They have pretty good sound too; I had a large solid sun glasses case, the type used for wrap arounds, and could covertly record conversations by simply leaving them on record inside the case on the desk while I chatted. The bulky bits on the sticks are kind of a give away and longer hair helps with this but I have quite short hair and no one seemed to notice; that said the more they get known the more obvious they will become. You get less jerky videos too because they follow your head and so to a fair degree your eyes; on play back you get to see how much attention you pay to the opposite sex. I used a SD card reader with my computer but they also have a USB connection too; works just like a stick drive, which it pretty much is. Sadly I lost my pair. :-(

Re: Kewl and Cheap wearable camera for protests I think the Scilons have shown without a doubt that being recorded is no deterrent for them.
