There are plenty of spy cameras out there. They come in all shapes and sizes to cater to different needs. Most try to be as unobtrusive as possible. The creativity poured into this product category is quite interesting to see with smart designs being developed year after year. One of them is the spy button cam which, as the name implies, looks like a regular button that you would find on garments at least for the front which is the one exposed to the outside world. The back is a small brick that houses all of the other components of the devices including the controls. Before using it, be sure to do the following:
Choose a Suitable Outfit
The button cam should be worn with an outfit that it can blend well into. For instance, the usual color of the device is all-black so look for a shirt that uses black buttons as well of nearly the same design. It would be great if the garment itself is of a dark color such that there will be reduced contrast that could draw attention to the camera. It pays to be diligent in finding the right clothes. You will be less conscious and more confident when you go out there to use it. You may also paint the button if you want it to match certain clothes that you have to wear.
Study the Specifications
Check each of the specs of the camera. Be intimately familiar with them so that you know what to expect during operation. For instance, see how much charge it can hold. Figure out how that translates into standby and actual filming time. This knowledge will allow you to plan your usage well so that you can conserve the energy and get all the footage that you want. The same is true for the storage space. You want to know how big it is and how many pictures it can hold. If you want to record video at a certain quality, then see how long to can go until the storage card gets full.
Practice Makes Perfect
When you are on the field, there are a lot of things that can suddenly happen and you will simply have to react accordingly. There is no way to prepare for every situation but expertise in what you’re doing will help you think of ways to adapt. Spend a lot of time practicing how to use the spy cam as if you are actually deployed in the field. Imagine different cases and try to problem-solve. You will learn a ton from these exercises. Use these lessons to get great results when you are faced with the real deal.
