I’d really want to experiment with the latest military gear. No, I wasn’t referring to guns, but to those cool gimmicks like the LED contact lenses, robots and weird armors. Oh yeah, and spy cams… like this one over here.

This is a high-resolution 450TVL camera which can be attached to a helmet as well as to one of your ears. It comes equipped with a tiny 4.3mm lens that gives it a reasonable 80°viewing angle and it also has a built-in microphone for audio recording. Unfortunately it doesn’t support any night vision options. The CCD image sensor is only ¼ inch wide and it provides both NTSC and PAL TV signals.

It can be used as a deterrent in hostile situations making it a great item for police patrols, door supervisors and army ops. But you can also wear it while skiing, paragliding, mountain biking, paint balling, rock climbing and many other adrenaline-pumping situations. You can couple it with a portable recorder to produce high quality recordings of the above situations. In this sense, the camera comes complete with power and cable accessories to offer output to a variety of portable devices.

The tactical camera can be found at Maplin for only £229.99 .
