If you are a James Bond aficionado or if you have watched a couple of spy films, then certainly you have been awed by the many small spy gadgets they’re carrying. But then again, you thought it was merely make-believe.

Thanks to technology, however, nothing becomes too impossible. In fact, there are already numerous convert spy cameras that you can install in your homes or in your offices. They can be in the form of tiny camcorders to sunglasses, screw heads, buttons, or even earphones.

Misumi, an electronics corporation based in Taiwan, is introducing into the market what could possibly be the smallest camera every produced. It appears like a mere cylinder with a diameter of 4.4 millimeters and a length of 15 millimeters. Yet despite the size it can capture images of up to 320×240 resolution. It includes a CMOS camera chip that is only 1/18 inches in size. The MO-R803 is referred to as a snake camera that is integrated into a bendable wire. There are two kinds of lenses that you can choose. One gives you a limited vision of only 55 degrees. The other provides wider view of about 105 degrees. Because it is literally very small, it can get into places that are hard to reach. They can also be a convenient tool in inspecting pipelines, a spy camera, as well as a medical device.

Nevertheless, before it can gain its clout into the market, it has already found fierce competition in OmniVision. The company developed OV6920 CMOS. Unlike Misumi’s camera, however, this is rather taken orally—literally. This devices contains a camera sensor that is only 1/18 inches in size. It is mixed with a pill which anyone can swallow. For those who cannot take in tablets, they can opt to have these devices injected with the help of a large syringe.

A potentially hit spy tool can be a digital camcorder that is only the size of a matchbox. Yet it can monitor 6 hours’ worth of video, capture hundreds of still images, and play 256 hours of sound. All these systems are incorporated into only a single micro unit. You can also receive an optional SD memory card with 1 GB size. It has a dimension of 3 inches in length and 1.25 inches in width and generally weighs at 38 grams. It is very easy to save the files to your PC as it is equipped with USB connection.
