Keychain Mini DVR Spycam Test Footage 720x480

Test footage from MINI DV YSB-006 Keychain Spy Camera similar to the one seen at
http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/digital-video-recorder-spy-...

Camera is 720x480 resolution with built in audio. This test shows static in-store shot and a longer driving shot to show how it changes with different lighting conditions. The camera works best in outdoor lighting rather than indoor dim lighting. The Time and Date was not correct, but can easily be changed through a txt file. 15mins of footage will use up just a little over 1GB in storage.

Overall the design is really nice and the quality is really good for the size of the device. Makes a great spycam or even a dashboard camera. The raw footage had to be compressed and edited together in order to upload online, therefore the original footage is much more clear and crisp.

You can find similar footage at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncL14Y7OrU8 . The only difference is the video resolution is only 640x480 and is 4GB storage max. But still looks much the same.

Man, this is amazing. It makes better movies than my $800 camcorder

@skamravec ya it's pretty cool stuff. It's too bad people will know about these devices and wont be so hidden anymore.

nice music you loser!

[canadiantelevision]

@sheepvomit69 it's called the radio and I don't control what they play.

[tjcheem]

how do u adjust the time on one

[canadiantelevision]

@tjcheem You have to write a .txt file that you save to the root of the memory card while it's plugged into the keychain. All you need in the .txt file is the following

just save the file as TAG.TXT on the root and it should work. Some keychains might be different but you should have rec'd software or at least a booklet that tells you how to do this.

@usamaaamir2009 I just got a spy pen about a month ago and after testing, it seems like they both have their advantage and disadvantages. The keychain is smaller, yet the pen looks like a real pen. So depending on your situation, they both are pretty good for what you're paying for.

[canadiantelevision]

@GregoryHouseMD1 I think you can record as long as the battery or memory card allows. But the battery life kinda sucks, less than an hour.

[usamaaamir2009]

can u tell me tht which thing is better......car key or spy pen??please tell me which camera result is better?

[GregoryHouseMD1]

Can you tell me how long can this record for? I long does the battery last on this thing?

Thank you!

[speedstakerguy]

You can get these off ebay for less than 10 bucks lol

@mac12197 70 bucks is heavily overpriced. Check your inbox. I'll send you a couple links.

[mac12197]

@IndianPrince04 do you know any others? i know that thinkgeek has them but they are 70 bucks and have internal memory.

[IndianPrince04]

@mac12197 There are other sites that sell it, but bestbuy nope.

[stormranger6]

this is great for RC flight

[mac12197]

@canadiantelevision can you get one of these on another website other than ebay? like best buy?

[canadiantelevision]

@rookya Very simple. I placed a piece of velcro on the keychain and dashboard. Have also tried with some cars you can stick it in between the roof and sun visor. Since it's very light, it will not move much at all.

[TheGamerFromMars]

I could get this including shipping for under 10 bucks.
