Camera hidden in a tissue box is pretty unsettling

Camera hidden in a tissue box is pretty unsettling

It's official: you can never be sure someone isn't watching you at all times. I mean, just take a look at this tissue box. It looks benign enough. But inside is a camera that takes color footage in the daytime and black and white footage at night, all at a resolution of 720x480 with a framerate of 30fps. It uses SD cards to store footage, and can be programmed to activate automatically at a particular time. In fact, there might be one somewhere in your home right now. Probably not, but there might be.

Man, this is nothing. I know a guy with a hidden camera shoved up his arse. Everytime he moons someone, he's taking their picture with a slight squeeze of his sphincter muscles. If you look carefully at the grassy knoll in the Zapruder film, you can see him bending over just as the motorcade passes. The CIA has been using butt cams for years. Of course, the original models were a bear to implant. Now I'm told you don't even know you've got one up your rectum unless, of course, you forget about it when taking a dump. We sure have come a long way. It really is an amazing world.

Mr. Gumsandals... You. Need. Mental. Help.

As for this device, its yet another boon to pervs. See that tissue holder on the back of the toilet? Its really there to watch your child pee. Have fun sleeping at night!

@Mr. Gumsandals
Butt cam? Not to be weird, but I want one... Also, you're losing it... I think you need a different hobby.

@Realist
This would be great for sneaking shots of scantily-clad funeral goers... (did I just type that?)

That's better, but seriously... Why in a tissue box? I mean, can't we find a better object to hide cameras in to make people paranoid?

does this company also sell, toilet seat cameras and water proof shower head camera as well? cripes, and I thought teddy bear cams are getting silly

The night shot on this is extra creepy, but the lighter cam just astounded me so much I had to buy one... Suprisingly good video, in decent light.

Did anyone check out the price of this little item....About $600.00....Ouch!!

If you look at the top half of the box it looks like you can put some tissue in the top,maybe not a whole box but enough to still make it look like a real tissue container.

Great this is worse then a teddy bear nanny cam! This could be anywhere.

As far as the butt camera.....that is really, really strange.
