Capture all those hilarious and odd moments on tape with the discreet lighter spy camera. It not only serves a purpose of a spy cam but it also doubles up as a webcam. Additional features include: 8MB of internal memory, image resolution of 1,280 x 960, and is powered by a single AAA battery, and USB drive. The best part is it doesn’t contain a flash so you can take photos quietly as well as out of sight and out of mind from your worst enemies. Hopefully you can put those incriminating photos on your Flickr after you’re done.
