Closet sleuths and PI's

[MurphySG]

If you had a requirement to record (video and sound) the conversations, comings and goings in a room for the period of a working day before you could download and start again over say a couple of weeks covertly and in all probability without a mains power supply what would be most cost effective and how quickly could it be delivered?

 Hide a parrot in the room?

Don't you have to have a sign up saying that you are being recorded for your own safety or something?

voice operated digital dictation machine. Depends how often you can get there to change the batteries though.

Depends. If it's private property and doesn't overlook any public areas and it's not done to get sexual jollies, then AFAIK it's ok.

If it's in a place you have access to, you can get tiny (button size) video cameras that you can hide anywhere. Connect to a pc in a nother room and Bobs yer Monkhouse.

Have a look on E-Bay Murp, lots of little Cams with motion detection and such at reasonable prices like this one.

He did say "covertly" is that careful enough?
 
So its not ok for a private individual to do this sort of thing? but the powers that be have a carte blanche to monitor nearly every aspect of our lives....something wrong here somewhere.
