The Self Guard SG-210 button-cam

Sure, button-cams have been used long the heyday of the private-citizen's cold-war, but damned if we've seen a consumer device marketed for self defense (i.e. Self Guard SG-210) that uses Bluetooth to move video around (presumably from the recorder to your PC) and records to SD. In fact, if your Self Guard is Internet-connected, you'll apparently even be able to view the video feed remotely.

So, do they have one for button fly jeans yet?

I think it's a great yet absolutely pointless idea. My question is, why don't the suit's buttons match? They could have at least used similar buttons to the camera button to make it look less obvious. All in all, it's a cool product.

Why is it pointless? It's great to protect yourself for verbal contracts and such. As long as one of the parties knows about the recording device, it's also perfectly legal.



My concern would be how this thing can be aimed. You don't want to use it and end up with a continuous shot of a guy's chest (where you want to show his face).

I agree to Luke. Absolutely useless. How could defent myself? :)

wait till the adult industry gets a hold of this. And what of privacy issues.

If you can't imagine a use for a camera that is aimed squarely at people's chests, then box up your manhood and send it back to the manufacturer! The pr0n voyeur possibilities are seemingly endless...

This reminds me of the A-Team episode where Mr. T rigs up a bunch of button looking bugs to listen in on some bad cops jibber-jabber.
