'Little Brother' could be watching you, too!
Once it was just Big Brother that people had to worry about, but now it's “Little Brother”. As pointed out by Frank Natale, of http://www.LittleBrotherCam.com, miniature spy-cams are so small and inexpensive now that they could be anywhere. Tiny cameras can be purchased for as little as $100, and easily hidden in radios, tissue boxes, and even key chain remotes. The sales of these little monitors are on the rise. While the costs are dropping, the quality is improving. Mr. Natale points out that they offer a camera as small as a car alarm remote that has a resolution of 720x40, filming at 30fps and has a memory capable of holding up to 32GB of footage. Amazing clarity in something so small and unobtrusive. Cameras are now watching even when people aren’t."The good that comes from safety and security outweighs the losses to freedom of speech and freedom of association that tend to be dampened when people are monitored," Katz says. Ever since British au pair Louise Woodward was convicted in 1997 of killing the 8-month-old baby in her care, parents have been snapping up "nanny cams". Even parents who have the money to hire a nanny (with full background checks) are now buying a little more peace of mind for as little as a $100 for a covert video system. Many systems are simply to catch a thieves Even churches have security cameras. Whatever the reason, Americans are certainly filming each other. Like it or not, cameras are a fact of life. Estimates are that in a 10-mile stretch in any major city, your image will be captured on 30 to 40 private security cameras. That doesn't include cameras in homes or the one carried by the innocuous person you just passed on the sidewalk. While we can debate the ethical, moral or constitutional aspects all day long, the fact is Americans are being more and more diligent in what they observe and how they report it. Good, bad, or ugly doesn’t seem to matter, but their safety, and that of the ones they love, outweighs any objections most people may have. We have entered a new age in security and the affordability and technological advances will continue us on this path.
