The new super-tiny Muvi Micro DV Cam is the smallest DV camera in the world. This ultra-portable digital video device measures no more than 5.5 x 2 x 1.6 cm (2 x 0.8 x 0.4 inches).

You can pop it in your top pocket, switch it on to sound activated record and not only will it be discreet, it won’t start recording until it hears over 65 decibels of noise. As soon as it goes quiet for longer than 2 minutes it will save the movie file and switch off again to save power. The integrated clip on the side of the camera means you can hook it on the side of just about everything.

The camera records at 2 megapixels, which is quite impressive for something this small and the resolution is 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second all of which is saved to micro SD card. The battery can be charged via any USB socket and will give you a decent 2-3 hours recording time.

Maybe you remember the wireless baby monitor we covered some week ago. Here’s an even more sophisticated system where you also have the option to pan and tilt the wireless camera.

Using this hi-tech surveillance camera ($243) is a great way to be able to keep an eye on something precious – maybe your new born baby, car, office, or the front door. It’s fully controllable via the handset, featuring a 2.5 inch TFT LCD colour screen with a 640×240 resolution.

The arrows on the handset let you rotate the camera vertically and horizontally at the touch of a button, with the option to automatically pan. The wireless pan and tilt camera also has audio capabilities meaning you can hear as well as see what ever is being monitored. There is the ability to switch off the screen and only use the audio function too.

A great feature of the camera is the infra-red night-vision which automatically switches on when the light isn’t good enough for normal recording. You also have the option to connect to a TV should you require a bigger picture and this also lets you record to VHS or DVD.

One handset can switch between 3 different cameras by either the users input or by an automatic looping.

Specification:

• Infra-red night-vision
• 100m transmission range
• 270 degree horizontal and 120 degree vertical viewing angle fully controllable by handset
