Samsung’s SCH-W760 features night vision cam

Posted in Samsung by Conner Flynn on May 13th, 2009

Samsung's SCH-W760 features night vision camThe new SCH-W760 looks like a typical midrange slider. It sports a 3 megapixel camera, DMB reception, Bluetooth, and a 2.8-inch AMOLED display. In other words, the usual. It does feature at least one very interesting feature, though.

That would be a front cam sensitive to the infrared spectrum so that you can hold grayscale video calls in complete darkness. Great for faking ghosthunters type scenes and making your own Blair Witch footage. We have no idea why.

Philips wireless internet cam concept is creepy, could bite
Here’s a new wireless Philips concept by Flynn Product Design that offers something drastically different and ultra-awesome in a Sci-Fi kind of way. So awesome in fact that you’ll be watching it from the corner of your eye, waiting for it to ponce and suck out your insides.

If spiderwebs suddenly appear near this thing, get rid of it immediately because: A. It’s alive. Or B: It’s attracting little baby spiders that think it’s their mama, who will grow into big spiders. Creepiness aside, this might be the best webcam design yet. Soon spider cams will be no doubt be following us everywhere. I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new overlords and I’m looking forward to working with you in return for my life.

StealthVue PennyCam: Take a penny, get caught on cameraThe PennyCam from StealthVue is a hidden camera that captures upwardly-angled pictures. It’s best used on the counter of a corner store, snapping a clear identifiable photo of the person’s face. The cam is in a Take-A-Penny, Leave-A-Penny tray, and is connected to a DVR with a standard BNC cable that is below the counter.

It’s powered by a 12V adapter, and will capture images in 500 x 582 resolution thanks to the 0.33″ Sony CCD image sensor. The StealthVue PennyCam will cost you $199. Once you have it, you can confront them with the evidence. “You took a penny, but never left a penny.” “No I didn’t” Then show them the proof. You’ll never again have to be taken advantage of by penny tray abusers.
