In another FT thread, in response to someone's referencing the key fob camera, I wrote:

Search for "spy camera car keychain" or similar to find them.
I have two similar devices.
One looks kind of like a clip-on phone headset microphone.
The other is a small black box about the size of a pack of chewing gum. They're cheap (like $20-40 or so, from China, sold on eBay), nice for unobtrusive recording (and unlike with the key fob, you don't have to hold them out pointed at what you're recording), but the interface is horrible (is it recording when I power on, or when the blue light goes green?), it's hard to tell whether you're recording what you want or not (wide angle lens would be really nice), and the battery life doesn't match memory capacity.
I'm still searching for a better "personal data recorder". I've had too many experiences of people lying about their interaction with me.
