\"thanko_spy_button\"<\/p>\n

Tokyo-based USB gadget maker Thanko gave us a video camera button last July<\/a>, which was basically a mini camera for your shirt or jacket that could be used for secretly recording video. And today the company started selling the second version<\/a> [JP] of the Spy Button Camera whose main new feature is the sound recording function.<\/p>\n

So now you have a device that shoots video (AVIs in 720 x 480 and at 30fps) and JPEGs (in 1,280 x 1,024), but which also lets you store sounds. The Spy Button Camera weighs 20g and is powered by a lithium-ion battery that lets you shoot up to 70 minutes of video. As the device has no internal memory, you’ll need to get a microSD card for it (cards holding up to 16GB are supported).<\/p>\n

All the material you recorded can be transferred to your PC via USB, but only Windows XP\/Vista and 7 machines are supported. The new camera doesn’t have a remote control anymore, meaning you have to push a button on the device itself to start the recording (see picture above).<\/p>\n

\"thanko_spy_button_3\"<\/p>\n

Thanko already started selling the Spy Button Camera on their Japanese website<\/a> (price: $55 including six buttons). If you live outside Japan, you can ask import\/export specialist Geek Stuff 4 U<\/a> if they can get one for you.<\/p>\n
