Surveillance cameras (as well as their more "covert" sisters, spy cameras) have become quite popular among home consumers during the past few years, as the number of persons that want to know what's going on in their house while they're away is steadily increasing. The manufacturers of such devices have come up with all sorts of interesting models, many of them disguised as simple household objects, and that's exactly the type of device you'll see as follows, namely the Spy Camera from LukWerks Security Systems.

But what's so special about this spy camera? Well, its most important feature is that it masquerades as a sleek, fully functioning digital clock, which looks so inconspicuous that won't even be noticed. However, that's not all, since in the case of this camera, looks aren't everything. Thus, the device sends live video streams to a PC directly via the electrical outlet, which makes it very portable and versatile, and is also fitted with a motion sensor, so that it won't take up any unnecessary space on the PC's hard drive.

The Spy Camera developed by LukWerks records quite high quality images, in WMA format, and since it uses the company's HomePlug technology, it doesn't require the user to configure wireless routers or other networking equipment. Moreover, it is capable of streaming video over to any Windows Mobile 5.0 device, making it a very good solution for surveillance on the go. The device will be available for the holidays, and is priced at an estimated 330 US dollars.
