Crapgadget CES, round 6: Goscam China's Body-worn DV for Police

If you can't get funding for Taser International's Axon head-mounted video recorder, why not try your luck with Goscam?

Go, it's a scam

[Bosco Posted Jan 9th 2010 11:13PM]

@tchncax There is a version for gas station attendants called Gascam. What are you gonna do with that?

[mikmik111 Posted Jan 10th 2010 1:43AM]

@Bosco GAAAAAADDDD!!! it's a Scam!

LOL sorry.

[spamfree Posted Jan 10th 2010 11:55AM]

@tchncax This can't be a serious product (or company). Is April a little early this year?!

[egy11micro Posted Jan 9th 2010 10:54PM]

Second ....hey that one in the picture is my ....grandma

[nitewulf Posted Jan 9th 2010 10:57PM]

GET OFF MY LAWN

[epheterson Posted Jan 9th 2010 11:04PM]

Slap a GPS on there and aggregate the video streams and you got yourself Google Streetview Live!

[HighestRanked Posted Jan 9th 2010 11:04PM]

that old guy needs those augmented reality goggles from the previous post and it's a win

[Xencon Posted Jan 9th 2010 11:13PM]

you laugh, but I tested one of these mounted in a lapel mic. They SUCK.

[KrazyCalvin Posted Jan 9th 2010 11:16PM]

No, that's not a camera on my lapel, my grandmother just gave me this brooch

[Ops Posted Jan 9th 2010 11:35PM]

just makes the cops more accountable

[Wwhat Posted Jan 10th 2010 1:05AM]

Haha, as if they won't simply cover the lens, and as if they don't get away with most everything anyway, stuff you'd normally invade countries for to free them from.

[CMoebius Posted Jan 9th 2010 11:51PM]

This could bring GTA to life right now. You know, when you hurt a cop and the whole city is looking for you in a split second. All you'd need is vital sign monitoring and...Niko Bellic.

[CJ Posted Jan 10th 2010 2:52AM]

Also: beeg American tee-teees.

[Banksta3 Posted Jan 10th 2010 1:44AM]

3d...

[pika2000 Posted Jan 10th 2010 2:14AM]

Go Scam? Really? LOL

[GGG Posted Jan 10th 2010 4:44AM]

other than the name this looks like a completely awesome gadget


It transmits live video over 3G? If that's not awesome i don't know what is

[Eugene Action Posted Jan 10th 2010 5:02AM]

@(Unverified) agreed. yall didn't even see the phone attached to the cam on the bottom did ya? this means that all available units can see whats happening online... wheres the crap in that?

[GGG Posted Jan 11th 2010 7:38AM]

@Eugene Action

Oh it has to be attached to a phone to work? Well ok, then it's a crapgadget.

[Freddark Posted Jan 10th 2010 5:34AM]

That guy should replace that camera with life-alert!

[plastik Posted Jan 10th 2010 6:02AM]

Surely this is just a development of those head-mounted cameras they already have which look stupid. Plus with this it streams over 3G, making the footage even more useful.

Current ones (there are bigger, more stupid looking one's I've seen):

[Wwhat Posted Jan 10th 2010 11:04AM]

Yeah 3G, flawless idea, ask AT&T, and its customers.

[alexman98 Posted Jan 10th 2010 11:21AM]

Aww, the poor guy on the left feels so ashamed of his own product. :(

[xesisoj Posted Jan 10th 2010 5:10PM]

They actually use these devices already on Dutch police officers. It proofed very succesful in investigating a great problem during a free beach party where one guy got shot down by police.

[sidepart Posted Jan 11th 2010 9:04AM]

Yeah, I'd like to see the cop that's just frustrated having to chase down a purp whilst holding a DV-cam on a unipod.

I'd youtube it.

[NX555V Posted Jan 11th 2010 11:17AM]

I like the design of the A in the logo - it makes it look more authentic

[st1300a4 Posted Jan 11th 2010 1:01PM]

Isn't that Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon 12" ?

[CoolTri Posted Jan 11th 2010 3:01PM]

Photoshopping Failure. The camera on the geriatric is so facing the wrong way. my be I'm just to picky.

[Neros Fiddle Posted Jan 11th 2010 3:03PM]

I'm getting mine with the optional built-in water cannon.
