Stealthy Surveillance on Wheels
For covert operation, the Spy Video TRAKR camera rolls close to the ground on four wheels that have special stealth treads. Equipped with an antenna, microphone, adjustable video lens, and speaker, TRAKR makes it easy to observe your suspects.

While the TRAKR is equipped with stealth treads for easy mobility, it is not designed for travel through sand, water, or snow. Avoid puddles and stick to paved or clean surfaces to ensure lasting operation.

Remote Control with Real-Time Video Playback
It's easy to maneuver the TRAKR robot with the handheld remote, which has dual toggling controllers and an easy-access "go" button. The remote's greatest feature, however, is its color video screen. TRAKR transmits video of your suspects back to the remote control in real time, letting you in on the action immediately. Additionally, a front-located speaker lets you listen in on top-secret conversations.

Plug In for Advanced Spying
You can run TRAKR in normal mode or take advantage of its preloaded apps for more advanced functionality. TRAKR is loaded with a night vision app for performing video surveillance in the dark. Additionally, a preprogrammed mapping app lets you send your TRAKR on a predetermined path. TRAKR is also loaded with a cyborg vision app, which lets you monitor your suspects using a speedometer, a spy compass, and crosshairs.

Use the included USB cable to download additional apps to your TRAKR from the Spy Gear Web site, where you can also design custom apps of your own.

Record Your Evidence
If you need to keep a record of your evidence, Spy Video TRAKR can store pictures and video with a standard memory card (sold separately). TRAKR comes with a USB cable for uploading video and downloading applications--it is compatible with Mac (OSX), Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) and Linux computers.

Vtech Kidizoom Plus Digital Camera - Pink

Vtech Kidizoom Plus Digital Camera - Pink Review



Vtech Kidizoom Plus Digital Camera - Pink Feature

  • Just right for small hands-a kid-smart digital camera with fun movies and games
  • 1.8" color screen, double viewer or LCD screen
  • Connector cables for TV or PC connects to a personal computer, printer and TV for photo and video playback
  • SD card slot for memory (16MB internal memory)
  • For ages 3 yrs. and up
  • Play Time of 30 Minutes
  • For 1 Person
  • Batteries Required (Sold Separately): 4 AA Batteries
Rugged and easy to use, the Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera is ready to document all your child's adventures. With two-eye viewing, grips designed to fit in little hands, and a built-in flash, this real digital camera can also shoot video. It also includes simple-to-use photo editing software so kids aged three and up can add creative touches to their images.

What We Think


Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Real digital camera takes photos and videos

The Bad: Lots of navigational buttons may confuse younger photographers

In a Nutshell: This durable camera is a fun way to inspire creativity

At a Glance

Ages: 3 and up
Requires: 4 AA Batteries; TV or computer with Windows 2000 or newer needed for some effect


Colorful and durable design can stand up to rough handling; includes two interchangeable faceplates. View larger.


Large buttons, navigational joystick and 1.8-inch color screen make camera easy to operate. View larger.
Get Ready to Show off Your Child's Photos
It's clear right out of the packaging that this camera was designed to stand up to tough play and rough handling. Bright pink rubber grips on each side make it easy for children to grasp the camera with both hands, and two-eye viewing make it easy to conceptualize a photo or a cool video. The camera even comes with two interchangeable faceplates, so your child can pick her favorite look.

Before your child starts taking photos, you'll need to use a Phillips screwdriver to insert four "AA" batteries in the grips of the camera. While the first few photos are being taken, you may want to set up the VTech Photo Editor on your computer. An intuitive installation wizard makes this process quick and easy. You'll need Windows 2000 SP3+/XP or newer to use this software. And don't despair if you're a Mac user. As long as you have Mac OS X 10.0 or above, you can still use the camera in mass storage mode.

Inspire Creative Development
Six buttons and a navigational joystick on the back of the camera let your child pick a mode and scroll through old photos. Between taking photos, shooting videos, and playing simple games on the 1.8-inch color screen, there's lots to do.

A built-in flash makes it easier to get well-lit pictures, especially if the subject of the photo is indoors. The flash does, however, often fire if you are trying to take a close-up shot, resulting in very bright, blown-out pictures. Inexperienced photographers may need to be reminded that the camera is not designed to focus on objects that are less than 1.5-feet from the camera. For super-sized fun, you can also link the camera to your television using the included A/V cable and view creative work on the big screen.

With 16MB of internal memory and an SD card slot so that you can add capacity if you need it, this camera lets kids collect lots of images. The included USB cable lets you upload the images to your computer. The VTech photo editor lets you or your child add cool frames to photos, stamp funny hats on people, and distort images. You can even run fun animations that makes the photo look like it is rotating or underwater.

The photo editor interface is easy to use, with big round buttons for kids to click on and drag-and-drop stamps. More advanced artists may be disappointed that there aren't more ways to creatively control output, but files from the Kidizoom can easily be edited in more advanced programs, too.

What's in the Box
