Wearable iRes uCorder keeps the voyeur working hard

Mind you, this ain't the first wearable camcorder we've come across, but it's definitely amongst the first that isn't meant to be seen by anyone. iRes Technologies isn't going so far as to call this a peeping Tom's dream, but the uCorder definitely fits the bill. Measuring in at just 3.5-inches high, 1-inch wide and 0.5-inches thick, the IRDC150 (1GB of built-in memory) and IRDC250 (2GB) are both designed to sit slyly within the casual shirt pocket, sleeve or fifth pocket™. Amazingly, the camera can shoot VGA quality clips as well as capture audio in WAV, with the big fellow capable of storing up to seven hours of Erin Andrews, er, undercover drug bust footage. Get your peep on for $80 (1GB) or $100 (2GB).

Is that a uCorder in your fifth pocket or are you just happy to see me?

[Joshua Przygocki Posted Jul 31st 2009 4:13AM]

and/or happy to have recorded me and my partner making love on the couch.

From the looks of their promotional video, I see they thought of the same thing.

Obviously you all don't read Skymall catalogs that often. Pretty sure they have their crappy version of the "keep an eye on your... spouse" camera. I may be wrong tho.

In 10 years time, we'll be using something like this to stream live to VideoTwitter....

[Wwhat Posted Jul 31st 2009 8:01AM]

stream live pictures of 180 pixels or less you mean.

[LondonConsultant Posted Jul 31st 2009 9:18AM]

No need for "VideoTwitter". Just use the existing http://www.ustream.tv/

Umm.....if its undercover drug bust footage needed, you may want to nix the logo and branding. LOL

I must be missing the discount somewhere as according to the iRes web site, the 1GB is $125 and 2GB $155.

About five years ago I bought my Dad one of Philips' USB jumpdrive/camera from their "Go Gear" line. The resolution was only comparable to the cameraphone resolution of the day, but it was a great little unit and he STILL uses it from time to time. A few years later I bought him a video-enabled camera from that same "Go Gear" line. The video was in a bizarre format that didn't play nice with the Mac OS (until later), but it worked as a DAP, camcorder, and camera. Of course there wasn't much of a market for that stuff in the U.S. yet, so that line of merch didn't seem to stick around very long here.
