Has anyone here ever used one of these things?

For some reason part of me wants to try one of those things out. But they are dirt cheap, so I figure the quality must be horrible.

Anyone with experience?

My dad did this compulsive buy and got 4 of them... PIECES OF CRAP. I know how to install electronics in general, and the image/ quality was horrible. PM me for details.

Thanks talon boy. :D

I think I will be able to resist if I know they are crap.

But yet....their ad campaign is so effective.<--joke

My problem is that I am a sucker for gimmicks and "As seen on TV" type stuff.

hehe...already been there. :)

There's also a store at the Mall of America in Minneapolis.

My favorite one was GS-27. A friend of mine got that...hahahahahahahaha. Too funny. It didn't work at all!

They are horrible, and if you have a few of them they tend to knock out wireless networks =P But seriously if you're thinking about getting a spy cam, go for something like this:

My friend and I are using one for our Senior Design project. It looks works very well and the picture quality is decent.
