Hidden cameras

I'm not a paranoid, conspiracy theory type of guy, but I'm getting paranoid when it comes to cameras and tech shit.

With facial recognition, the coming cashless society, your entire internet history being recorded.. Idk.. 'They' will be able to track your every move, every purchase.. Your internet history is damn near the same thing as searching your thoughts... Freaks me out.

"You bought a mountain dew. You were 'seen' talking to a known drug abuser. You're a risk for diabetes and possible drug abuse. Your insurance is now canceled."
 
Is this relevant to this discussion? If it is, I missed the point. Could you please reiterate in that case?

Probably not, but if it were not for NASA and their multi million dollar investments into shrinkage of camera technology to broadcast to the world the achievements of landing on the moon..etc. It was a huge feat of the time to be able to come up with cameras and technology small enough to be placed on a spacecraft.

Then, slowly from this point they were , shrunk, and shrunk, and shrunk again to fit into our phones to the point of being itty bitty hidden devices. Probably again off tangent...where the movie..Honey I Shrunk The KIds...came from

I know it's off tangent, but a little bit of history never hurt a thread :). Or where our modern tech comes from to allow this discussion. US knowhow at it's best.

So, why is it that most cams that you need to pay for are women? I have never paid for a cam. Never will. You finish off with.....................


" This is also a valid concern for men as well" .

My suggestion is that you bugger off.

Who pissed in your vegemite today?

Glad to know that the availability camgirls negates any concerns over hidden cameras taking photos in private areas without consent.

I guess the existence of prostitutes means that rape isn't a problem for you?

And it sounds like you have a bent rail. Or you've both been smoking from the same pipe!:laughing:

Everything in life has its Pros and Cons. I've been looking/shopping for outside light bulbs with cams built in to catch the F'ers who are breaking into my neighbors cars. Only cars on the block being broken into and they're not even the nicest vehicles on our street. Newest neighbor moved in less then 6 months ago and has been broken into twice so far. I just wanna catch the F'ers who are doing this. My guess are the transients passing thru or lazy ass teenagers!
Sister inlaw worked at a tile/flooring shop which some mofo put in a hidden cam in the ladies room for employees. She stumbled across it and the guy got a slap on the wrist. Nothing more. So she quit her job! One she truly loved plus got hella deals on flooring supplies.
We? Those in my age bracket use to laugh or joke around about Big Brother but? Now it seems like Big Brother is one of the biggest pervs around and will put a cam anywhere he can to bust a nut.

Seen plenty of hidden cams links/videos and it makes You wonder? How many or much of this shit is staged and if not? How many ass kickings have followed. I mean really! I don't care who you are or how good looking or ugly a person is or what they're doing on said hidden cam. I for damn sure don't want my business posted on the net for the world to see and without my consent!?!?! Fuck that!

Did you not read the same post everyone else did?

Yes I did, but once upon a time there were no cameras at intersections controlled by traffic lights, factories, offices, nor were people able to place cameras on their rear vision mirrors of their vehicles, bicycle helmets. There are cameras everywhere, in just about every part of public space.....I am even careful when visiting the loo in a nightclub :)...I have refused clients requests when building rental properties to install cameras.

There are many excuses used as to the reason why, terrorism, insurance 3rd party, security etc. It is the reason why I posted the Metropolis picture........because predictions of the past have come to be true in the future.

The public as a whole are no longer trusted.

It's just not possible, or near impossible to escape being viewed by, hidden or not, a camera because they have become so much a part of modern society. This is how facial recognition works. This is what secret organisations are working toward...all in the name of public and national security.

I wish it could be stopped, but it started from the first invention and the beginnings of miniaturization many years ago.

And yes, I do take at times privilege with posts on public forums. If not anything I am a little bit of a non conformist. I hope at times what I introduce brings a reason why we have found ourselves where we are now because we all have let it become this way. I can't help my tangent way of thought. It's who I am. By the by, I only visit here now maybe once a week..........perhaps that is a good thing for many of the conformists.

It's why in the end I'm not afraid to, now and then show my face here, or anywhere, to be myself. Because in the end, I am not doing any wrong except enjoying what humans have done for 1000's of years, and millions who post everyday.

I'm not making bombs :)

I do apologise to paintergal, but this is how the world has become, I've seen it evolve this way through the years. It's a bit strange when movies from the 19 twenties, become the real life 100 years later. If you can't be yourself and be comfortable with it, keep your clothes on.

"It's so easy and so cheap to buy small cameras.

THIS one looks like a phone charger plug...that you can actually plug your phone into!

THIS
one looks like a screw!

THIS one is a hook you can put anywhere.


I am not aware of any time I have been recorded with another person without my knowledge, but I guess that's kinda the point. It just creeps me out because you used to be able to tell when the computer or webcam was on or if someone had an actual video camera. I worry for younger women too. Like I said, this stuff is affordable and a lot of younger people are tech savvy."

I answered probably 90% of paintergals post when it comes to camera miniaturization through camera evolvement whether you are being recorded or not without your knowledge.

The other 10% is up to personal discretion and intuition. Something I can't answer.

All of us are in the lens.

You are not even remotely posting about what I objected to. Read what you wrote. It has fuck all to do with the ubiquitous presence of cameras. While we're at it, neither does the OP, not really. You should be quiet and stay out of this thread or stay on topic. You should certainly not be disrespectful to the original poster for no reason. You owe her an apology. You were a complete ass.
 
It has everything to do with the overwhelming presence of cameras, hidden or otherwise in the year 2018.

Which began in the sixties. There is no guarantee on this planet that you will not be recorded if you either turn on your personal cam, from a security camera, a traffic camera, a police camera or any other camera, it is being recorded.

How do you think the cheap reality shows are now so prevalent on TV or social media? Because of public or private cameras.

I did apologise to paintergal, yes, I can be an 'arse', for not answering which I cannot answer. Because I do not know her personally. I do not know her intuitive capacity. All contact is confined to the written forum here.

I could have made myself more concise and clear that one needs to use their own intuitive guidelines in regard to being aware of modern day recording devices. But hey, how often do you think people take notice of truth or suggestion by others.

I am not offended by fact, the facts are overwhelming that people need to be more aware of what has become a "watcher", "recorder" society.

I am offended when truth becomes misguided and misinterpreted.

If you cannot point out to me what I have mentioned is not truth of my answers to her questions or posts regarding small or " Hidden Cameras" I have nothing to apologise for other than my initial replies...........

Every police car which passes you going in the opposite direction is recording your face behind the steering wheel of your car, to be placed into a facial recognition database...or toll road.

No, I can not make paintergals intuitive decisions for her, I apologise for this.

Um... No. This thread is about deception. This thread is about cameras that look like household items, and how they can be abused by recording people who have a perfectly reasonable expectation of privacy inside homes where they are guests. You're talking about public places. You, and you alone. You are off-topic. Add to that you had the gall to tell the OP to bugger off. YOU bugger off.

So, what is public, and what is private now? You are recorded everyday against your wishes by government and private cameras..

Yup, my last post here. Am very sorry I can't help the OP with her dilemma of whether she is being subversively recorded or not when governments invade it every day, you catch a train, bus, drive down the freeway, or walk down the street.

All my intention was is for her to use her own intuitive thinking, as there is no escaping the reality of " Hidden Cameras" ,that no one knows whether they are being recorded or not.

Deception? What is deception these days except with the exception of self deception. The truth is, you step out your front or back door these days and even your neighbour could be recording you.

Some thrive on self deception and to deceive others.

Bye.

No, but just outside your door, in the street, at the intersection, in the government or police vehicles......But, it's all for your public safety, and too late to stop.

You have a visitor...........I bet they know who it is, what time they arrived and left....if they needed to look it up.

My answer to it all, is live like a human does. When they challenge this..............I will revert from mildly non-conformist to absolute rebel :)...Well, as best as a fit 60 year old can anyway.....

The thing I have tried to stress, is ok, in recent times these small or hidden cams have become an issue.

What the larger picture says, is that government organisations have been way on the ball since their invention since the late 60's, it was their...your money which helped develop this technology.

So, they have been secretly watching us, through " Hidden Cameras" for years, way before any other cam invention.

The nearest government camera to me is over two miles away. I know exactly where it is, because not only can I clearly see it, but it is public property. It isn't a secret. Ways to manipulate cameras and mics on electronic devices are also well known to most, and not too difficult to circumvent. It is also irrelevant to the idea of a trusted person in a private setting recording intimate moments with a screw, a lightbulb, a plug that is secretly a camera. You're way off-topic and out of line. You're trying to defend going off topic, and ignoring that you were rude to the OP. Quit derailing the thread. Be an adult. Do what you told the OP to do. Bugger off.

No, no, you just don't understand. He's a non-conformist. You just don't get it because you're a conformist. Maybe you didn't detect that through the liberal slathering of patronizing tone artlessly mixed with secret society conspiracy theories.
 
Who's paintergal?

@AlteredEgo I wish I saw this earlier! Thank you. I couldn't care less about being recorded all over the place by big brother. My issues are with secret cameras to film in locker rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Something something NASA.
