Hidden Pet Cameras
I saw a new product for pets the other day. It is set of three steps that you put next to the bed, couch or even car seat, so your dog or cat can easily get up there. "Pet Steps," I think they called them. It got me thinking about pet-related inventions, and little surveilance cameras came to mind.
I imagine it's been done a number of times by those who play with - I mean work with - surveillance equipment. It seems natural to look at the dog one day and say, "Hey, let's put a camera on Fido." It's probably been done, but we need someone to make it into a workable product.
Most likely, the cameras would have to be attached at the collar of either dogs and/or cats. The weight isn't an issue now, since there are cameras that weigh an ounce out there. Hiding the camera might be the real challenge. Perhaps a flower or bow on the dogs collar might do the trick, with the lens in the center.
Of course, the camera would have to transmit the image to a remote monitor or recording device. The range on these types of cameras is enough now to get a clear image from around the neighborhood.
Why Hidden Cameras For Pets?
Novelty value is a start. Just strap the camera on Spot, and let him go wander the neighborhood while you watch the show. Just don't tell the neighbors you saw what happened in their backyard. Naturally, all the surveillance enthusiasts out there would have to add this invention to their collections.
With a trained dog, you could use this system for more specific spying. It has probably been done before, whether or not such a camera has been marketed yet. The first such use might be for a reporter's expose of the conditions in dog kennels.
Now the people at PETA might not like this next idea for these hidden cameras, but it is a natural. In a war zone, dogs could go into areas that are too dangerous for soldiers, and provide a view of what's going on. There might be similar applications in criminal investigations too.
Finally, have you ever wondered where your cat goes all day? Or where the kids go when they have the dog along? You could easily find out with these hidden cameras.
