Are you afraid someone’s going to eat the last piece of your favorite chocolate cake while you’re stuck at the office? Wish you could keep a close eye on the things you care about the most — even when you’re not at home?

Well, with the Smartphone Home Monitor, you can keep your home or office under constant video surveillance.

This surveillance camera can be set up anywhere to transmit video in real-time to any iPhone or Android smartphone via the Internet. By logging in to a specific website, you can even remotely position the camera – tilting the lens up to 125° and panning it up to 270° to achieve an optimal view.

The camera transmits video in a 640 x 480 resolution at 30 fps, and also comes equipped with 15 infrared LEDs positioned around the lens for night-vision surveillance.

When the camera’s motion detector is activated, it automatically sends you an e-mail and saves a 30-second video to an SD card (not included) – keeping an eye on things for you even when your remote eyes are needed elsewhere.

Connecting to any computer running Windows XP, Vista, 7 or Mac OS X 10.5 or later through the included Ethernet cable or WiFi, the Smartphone Home Monitor measures just 5″ H x 4″ W x 5″ L, and it’s available at Hammacher Schlemmer for $249.95.

Do you suspect coworkers are walking into your office when you’re not around to steal paper clips, snoop in your drawers, or simply put their filthy fingers all over your stuff?

Well, the Video Surveillance Clock is here to catch them in the act!

This analog clock has a built-in, motion activated surveillance camera that shoots at a 62° angle (to capture mugs, not midriffs) from up to nine feet away – recording 720 x 480 video and taking 1280 x 960 images. At the same time, its sensitive microphone can pick up audio from 16 feet away – perfect for keeping a watchful eye in any room or office.

The Video Surveillance Clock supports up to 8GB microSD cards and includes a 4GB card that can store up to 6 hours of AVI video or up to 52,000 JPG images. The content can then be transferred to any Mac, Windows XP, Vista, or 7 PC via the included USB 2.0 cable.

The USB cable is also used to charge the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery, which can provide up to 1.5 hours of video recording (or 18 months of stand-by time) from a 3-hour charge.

Nobody wants to spy on their own coworkers, but if you feel there’s something going on in your office when you’re NOT around, you can get your Video Surveillance Clock at Hammacher Schlemmer for $159.95.

If you’ve ever wanted to replay something you once saw, or have a second chance to catch a glimpse of an unbelievable moment, this camera can do just that (at least for events recorded starting from…NOW!). Called the Looxcie II Wearable Bluetooth Camcorder, it simply sits on your ear, aims next to your eye, and records your surroundings exactly as you see them.

Featuring a lightweight design, the Looxcie II video camera is amazingly simple to operate. There are no LCD screens to get lost in, in fact all you need to do in order to record 480p video is hook the device to your ear and press the record button. It’s that easy!

With 4GB of built-in storage, the Looxcie II Wearable Bluetooth Camcorder can record for up to 90 minutes (or up to 5 hours at a lower resolution), and even doubles as Bluetooth headset for your cellphone.

If you have an iPhone or Android smart phone, Looxcie will make you feel like James Bond thanks to its real-time video sharing. The device can send live video to a smartphone, letting you send proof to your friend that he shouldn’t have missed the party you’re at.

Helping you share your life with the world as you see it, the Looxcie II Wearable Bluetooth Camcorder is available now at Firebox.com for $240 | £150 | €171.

If your livelihood depends on being first at the scene, there’s no time to lose fiddling with frequencies. The Only Automatic Programming Radio Scanner will provide you with a competitive edge, as it’s the ONLY radio scanner that AUTOMATICALLY finds all local police, fire, utility, aviation and emergency medical service channels within a 30 mile radius (plus federal bands including NOAA weather alerts).

Pre-loaded with US and Canada radio channel information, the Only Automatic Programming Radio Scanner also lets you narrow in on national localities by entering a zip code or city, where it will self-discover all unencrypted, non-proprietary radio system frequencies in your chosen area.

Equipped with a 3.5-inch color touchscreen display, the Only Automatic Programming Radio Scanner lets you easily lock in a municipality, department and channel with a tap, change the scanner’s range or adjust squelch suppression (to filter out interference), and even record and play back transmissions.

Featuring a removable antenna that provides a strong, clear reception and including software for channel updates, the Only Automatic Programming Radio Scanner provides up to five hours of monitoring from four rechargeable AA batteries and is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $599.95.

Tired of missing Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or even your little brother’s birthday, because you’re too busy getting an education 500 miles away from home?

Are you afraid of being labeled as “the worst father ever” simply because your job keeps you on the road for weeks at a time?

Well, you can stop feeling guilty! With the Rovio Wifi Roaming Bot, you can be a part of every family celebration from anywhere in the world!

Rovio is a robotic webcam equipped with a microphone and built-in speaker for 2-way audio — which makes it easy to communicate with your loved ones, or even take part in a video conference with full of control the camera, wherever you can find an Internet connection.

You can hear and see exactly what Rovio hears and sees thanks to its head-mounted moveable VGA camera and wide range of vision.

This little guy can stream audio and video via Wi-Fi (802.11b and 802.11g) to any web-enabled browser. It automatically detects your computer settings to guide you through the setup process too — making it easy to control Rovio through PCs, MACs, iPhones, and even the PS3.

Rovio is equipped with 3 omni-directional wheels and a built-in LED headlight that makes it easy to roll through dimly lit locations, and you can set waypoints to avoid controlling every step yourself. You can even allow Rovio to navigate your house on his own.

At the end of a long day of roaming, you can send Rovio back to recharge his NiMH battery at the click of a button – thanks to his self-docking capabilities and the charging dock’s built-in TrueTrack beacon.

Currently on sale at ThinkGeek.com for only $149.99, Rovio is the perfect gadget for those who have ever wished to be in two places at the same time.

How many times have you been called “crazy” simply for telling people about what you see with your standard binoculars? Ever wish you could go back in time, push their faces into your binoculars and point them in the exact same direction, at the exact same time – so they wouldn’t have to take your word for it?

Well, the Vivitar Binoculars with Digital Camera are the practical (and realistic) solution to your problems!

Taking pictures with a permanent 10x magnification, the Vivitar Binoculars with Digital Camera features fully-coated optics, weather-resistant rubberized armor, and rubberized eye-cups that allow their use with glasses and sunglasses.

You can store up to 75 photos thanks to the built-in 16MB memory, and download/edit them easily too with the included USB cable and software editing guide.

Available at Taylor Gifts for $39.98, the Vivitar Binoculars with Digital Camera include a lens cloth, a wrist strap and require only two AAA batteries (not included), making them perfect for bird-watching, sports and travel, providing a practical way of sharing those unique images with the world.

Who has a driveway half a mile long? That’s more like a runway. If you have a runway leading to your house, and you would like to hear an alarm sound whenever a plane, car, bus, moose or vagrant has stumbled on to it, then the 1/2 Mile Driveway Alarm from Hammacher Schlemmer is the solution to some, if not all of your problems.

The alarm system comes with a motion sensor that detects the movement of vehicle, or people-like objects and can be attached anywhere you like, within reason. You could select something conventional, like a mailbox or a sign. Alternatively, if your driveway is actually half a mile long, then perhaps you could employ someone / buy a slave to stand and hold the sensor at the position of your choice. Better yet, arm ’em and call them “Deterrent”.

The half-mile capability comes, of course, from the sensor’s wireless range. The system supports up to four wireless sensors, each assigned a different, identifiable tone – just in case you have four half-mile long driveways. You’d have to purchase additional sensors, but if you have more than one driveway, you can probably afford it.

You can equip your half-mile long driveway with an alarmed sensor for $179.95 from Hammacher Schlemmer.

Wish you and your children could listen to far-off whale-song on the open sea? Ever been to the opera or the theater and found your seat to be a trifle too far back to hear properly? How many times have you gone bird-watching and yearned to hear nature’s avian melodies up close? Probably no, never, and none. But if you are a nosey creep who loves to snoop, then the Orbitor Electronic Listening Device is for you, regardless of how Gadget Universe want to market it.

Wearing headphones and pointing a big radar-gun at things might be a little bit conspicuous, so make sure you’ve got a well-camouflaged vantage point before you point the Orbitor at your neighbours’ private arguments. Of course, you might not care who knows you’re a snooper. In which case, you could use it to eavesdrop on private conversations at the busiest of gatherings – as the Orbitor zooms in on sounds up to 300 feet away, focusing in on what you want to hear and nothing else.

What’s more, the viewfinder allows you to see exactly what you’re snooping on. So even if your victims realize they’re being listened to and try to communicate by writing notes to each other, you’ll be able to visually spy on that too. Just in case you hear anything interesting, the Orbitor Electronic Listening Device can record two minutes of digital audio – so you can play-back things you weren’t supposed to hear in the first place!

Only $59.95 from Gadget Universe. And then a court order, or possibly jail-time.

The sWaP Rebel Secret Agent Watch will probably never replace your smartphone, but everyone is walking around with one of those things. The sWaP Watch is different, letting you keep in touch…with a bit of secret agent flair.

With the sWaP, you’ll have a touchscreen color display, a camera that takes photos and videos, an FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, an e-reader and a phone – all located conveniently on your wrist.

Data transfer is handled with the cool USB connector located on the end of the wristband – which is made of high quality water resistant silica rubber for durability and topped off nicely with a stainless steel buckle.

£189.99 lets you bust out your own fashion statement and break out from the smartphone herd.
