Product Idea (need some help)

After having seen enough pop up ads for video cameras that are small enough to be hidden anywhere I realized something. First the happy looking woman in the ad obviously doesn't realize that she is a victim, and second there is some money to be made on the basis of fear.

How many people in the next three years are going to have fallen victim to hidden cameras, how many people will know someone who has. Not necessarily being found to have beaten a child you were supposed to be baby sitting (I don't consider you a victim for getting caught), but it seems obvious to me that sooner or latter some 14 year old is going to manage to get cameras into the girls change room, sooner or later some sick perv running a rooming house is going to get caught for having taped countless numbers of people taking showers.

Really its just a matter of time until this hits the paper with a high profile case. Something like the whole Hilton tape but with a person who honestly didn't know they were being filmed.


So lets make us some money based on fear!!!


Lets do the exact same pop up ads but instead of selling easily hidden video cameras, lets sell devices to detect hidden video cameras and sell them for $40 a pop. We'll target women who watch soap operas all day (if you need that much soap opera in your life obviously you think your important enough to be watched) and parents sending there kids away to school. There has got to be a bigger market for hidden video camera detection than for the cameras, and the fact is we can even claim to be doing it for the good of society.



Anyone want in?

(anyone know how to detect a hidden video camera rather than me just designing a box that constantly goes ping just to fuck with peoples heads and never give them a refund?)

There already was such a case. The Michael Jackson videotape of him on his private jet with his lawyers.

Also, I don't think a reliable detection method is possible.

Well then I have a good idea for you.

Don't even make a product at all.

- Start a legal company called "Camera Detectors" or something like that.

- Advertise and take pre-orders for your product over the Internet.

- Then change your company name to something like "Anal Donkey Sex Videos R Us"

- Issue refund cheques to all customers saying the product they ordered was unavailable.

- Very few (if any) will go to their bank to cash a cheque that was written from a company called "Anal Donkey Sex Videos R Us"

- So you get to keep most of the money, without actually selling anything, and you didn't do anything that was illegal.

Cheers ... Ian :)

It doesnt even need to go ping.

It doesnt really need to do anything. 9 times out of 10 noone is going to be filmed, and for that 1 in 10 who are, their chances of finding out about it are slim to none.

That method wont work because everyone would just toss their cheques in the atm.

That would only work in the teller days of yore.

you really want to have a check from

"Pedophilia supplies and albums inc"

Regardless I'm not planning to send refunds I'm planning to set everything up off shore and just take the money. Welcome to the age of global internet scams and crimes!

It was in that movie? I've seen it and don't recall it being mentioned at all.

I mentioned the anecdote, because there was a guy in Australia who did this for real, and it was before that movie came out.

okay so do any of you want in on my scam or not?


I need three others to work with me and help me set this up. If we can make and sell a legit product that we can actually stand behind thats better, if not I'm just as happy playing people for twenties like a peeler.

Once you start introducing other people it becomes a scheme not a scam.

As for 'detecting hidden cameras' you either have a closed-circuit system or a wireless system.

In the case of closed circuit you could not 'detect' a system (to my knowledge) unless it's giving off some radiation. however, you could presumably jam the system with a high powered transmitter on the appropriate frequency to munge the data signal.

In the case of wireless you could definitely make a detector for the wireless radiation that the device would transmit, and you could block it simply by setting up another transmitter on the same frequency that's producing noise. I think.

Either option has one serious drawback though: requires FCC (or whatever the Canadian equivalent is) certification for power dissipation of your transmitter, so you don't give people brain cancer and/or impotency or soemthing.

The idea might work, especially in such a narcissistic society as ours, where everyone thinks they are important enough to be put on camera.
