Surveillance On the Sly: AC Adaptor Hidden Camera

Posted on 10/07/2015 by Hazel Chua

People often show their true colors when there’s no one else in the room. If you’re suspicious or feel that someone’s up to no good in your home or office, then you might want to set up a hidden camera within the vicinity. Clocks and plush toys stuffed with a hidden camera or a mic on the inside are pretty common– but a camera disguised as an AC adaptor? Not so.

To get it up and running, just pop in an SD card and plug it into an AC outlet. When it detects motion, the camera will automatically start recording. You can use an SD card up to 16 GB capacity, which should be more than enough to record 16 hours of video on average.

The AC Adaptor Hidden Camera is available online for $200.

Sync, Charge and Read

Posted on 03/02/2015 by Radhika Seth

The Micro USB Cable and Lightning Adaptor (Card Reader) is a sync & charge cable that features a micro and lightning connector along with a two-in-one with card reading functionality. Sounds complicated? Let me break it down for you … it’s a Micro USB Cable and a Lightening Adaptor and it features a slot that reads micro SD cards. So while it reads the card, it also transmits the information to the device it is hooked up to, for example your phone or desktop! Super cool innovation!

The Micro USB Cable & Lightning Adaptor with Card Reader is a 2014 Red Dot Award: Design Concept winner!

Pokit It Good

Posted on 09/10/2014 by Radhika Seth

Pages have been written about savvy Smartphones and how little their batteries last. Portable charger adaptors are a great answer, but they too need to be well designed to compliment the sleekness of the Smartphones. The Pokit fits in here somewhere … it is an integrated phone charger-adaptor, external battery and storage pocket that is compact and portable.

The one clever feature is that the USB cable sealed inside the fabric pocket can be connected to charge the smart device. No wonder it snapped the Red Dot Award: Design Concept this year!

Fujifilm M-Mount Adapter brings Leica lenses to the X-Pro1

Posted on 24/05/2012 by Zach Honig

It's not the cheapest, and it's not the first, but if you've been holding out on picking up an M-Mount adapter for your X-Pro1 with the hope that Fujifilm with launch a Leica-friendly accessory of its own, your patience does appear to have paid off. The camera maker just announced its very own M-Mount Adapter, featuring a 27.8mm distance between the lens mount and the sensor, an aluminum and stainless steel construction, and three levels of distortion correction. After you upgrade your camera firmware to version 1.10 (or later), you'll have access to an advanced M-Mount Adapter Settings menu, which utilizes pre-registered lens profiles and corrections. The software includes presets for 21mm, 24mm, 28mm and 35mm Leica lenses, leaving two additional slots for adding your own settings. You'll need to hang in there for a few more weeks -- the M-Mount Adapter is expected to ship for $200 in June. There's full specs in the PR after the break.

Panasonic introduces new microP2 SD-sized storage at NAB 2012

Posted on 15/04/2012 by Richard Lawler

Among several new announcements for NAB 2012, Panasonic had time to show off its new microP2 card. It does all the high speed transfer pro video shooters have come to expect from their P2 hardware, but in a package that's the size of an SD card. Panasonic also showed off a companion adaptor that could be used to make the new micro-sized cards compatible with existing PCMCIA-based hardware, however they will need a firmware upgrade (at an unspecified cost, of course) first. Of course, that's all still off in the future, since these won't hit the market until spring 2013. Check out our gallery for a few more pictures and look after the break for the press release.
