DIGITAL SPY CAMERA CLOCK WITH REMOTE CONTROL & MOTION DETECTOR: $159. The Digital Spy Camera Clock looks and feels just like a normal desk clock. In reality it's packing a virtually undetectable pinhole video lens that lets you covertly take pictures and record video and audio. It records at 30FPs for great quality, the stuff goes straight to a micro SD card and it can be set to record only when it senses motion. Its remote control means you don't have to touch the device at all. If you've been wondering about someone stealing or messing with your stuff, this is a must-have for your desk.
BLUETOOTH REAR-VISION MIRROR LCD MONITOR: $359. Mirror, mirror on the car, who's the most hi-tech by far? With integrated Bluetooth and a 7-inch LCD, this rear-vision mirror must come pretty close. You can connect your mobile phone for hands-free calling, hook it up to a rear-vision mirror or set it up with DVD. Don't worry - its highly reflective screen means it can be used as a normal mirror as well. Available from JayCar.
