Now here's a contraption that's right up our alley. This complete wireless surveillance kit is a veritable TV studio in a box, perfect for keeping a beady eye on all manner of comings and goings. Use it to entrap clumsy tradesmen, spot nimble-fingered cleaners, or catch your brother's indiscretions in the shower. It's all good, clean fun for grown-ups. All you need to do to complete the effect is develop a fake Georgie accent and shout 'Day Eeeeight in the Big Brother Hoose' whenever you capture something - or someone - suspicious. This tiny technological marvel captures high resolution images, clear as a bell, then, using a small antenna, wirelessly transmits both pictures and sound back to a 2.4 GHz receiver up to 100 metres away.

Attach the receiver to a video output device or recorder (not included) and Robert is jolly well going to be your mother's brother. Benefiting from true wireless status and either battery or mains power, the camera can be wholly mobile or permanently fixed to a sturdy wall bracket for those pesky long-term applications in retail outlets or warehouses. After all, now that we live in a surveillance society, if one can't beat them, one should join them.
