Don't judge these two books by their covers

Since its conception, cameras have taken various forms, either for surveillance purpose or simply for the fun of it. If these two gadgets were placed with other publications in the bookstore, I doubt I'd be able to tell them apart.

The Hidden Book Cam from BrickHouse Security is great for parents who leave their toddlers in the care of the maid while they are out. This inconspicuous video camera blends in well with your encyclopedia collection and can record footages to see if the maid was Snow White or playing the Wicked Witch to your kid.

On a lighter note, the Kozika by SuperHeadz is more of a fun camera, utilizing the almost obsolete 110 film format to snap shots. It is similar to the Ikimono shooter we spotted before. Even if you cannot find the film, it still makes a great talking point when friends pop by and you get them to spot the fake on the bookshelf. From the pictures, it seems the innocent-looking shooter ships with a mini deer figurine that looks deceivingly like Bambi to complete the fairy-tale look.

The Hidden Book Cam ships in wired or wireless versions and prices range from US$99.95 to US$299.95. The Kozika is much more affordable (and cuter, too) at US$32.
