I have a tiny, $20.00, key chain "SpyCam"
that I use every day to make short clips
of what I did that day.
I also use it to make audio recordings
of thoughts that come to me.
It records video/audio at about 60 meg per minute
thus a 4G flash memory can record about one hour,
which is more than I use in a day.
So every day, I have a recording of my thoughts,
what I did that day, and candid shots I happened to make.
I saw an interesting show on China TV
that showed similar devices being used
to find out what bears did in the woods.
These were low frame rate devices that were powered by
larger batteries, and they could run for days.
They were hidden in tree trunks near animal trails,
watering holes. and feeding places.
