Keep an eye on your family with this inconspicuous device. Simply place this casual-looking device on the kitchen counter or table with the lens pointed towards your purse and get ready to catch them red-handed! The greedy culprit won’t be able to argue with their image captured on 720*480 resolution video. All videos can be stored on a MicroSD card ranging from 2GB – 32GB. Good luck!
