Overview

The one which was of particular interest to me was ZRAD, the multifunctional spy camera. Now this is not just your normal run of the mill camera to spy on your dearly beloved but also offers superb picture quality for those no more fuzzy picture moments. Read on to find out more…

Review

There have been many products out on the market that claim they are able to do what this product says this can do, but it looks like to me that this product might actually be the first of its kind to deliver what it says on the box.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this is the best of the lot and you must get this if you wish to use the best this kind of technology has to offer. It does however offer the user a rather decent little package and it makes no promises it does not keep.

Plus at this price who can blame this device, it not only offers a video recording resolution of 1280×1024, which means no longer having to squint at the videos produced by most of these devices but this device also records for as long as 1080 Hours.

So you can hide this camera anywhere in your car/house/work or anywhere else you can think of knowing that this camera will not run out of memory half way through the day/night, which as we know is when the sneaky little blighters will pop out of the shadows to cause their mischief.

We Say

My advice would be to consider this a serious contender if you’re after a Multi-Functional spy camera, more information can be found here
