I have done over 100 apartment shops with this company and want to start doing video since it pays so much more, I've looked at buying my own equipment online and its not expensive, but how would you hide it and still get clear voice and video? I'm female so I don't have a shirt pocket or wear button down shirts. I haven't looked yet at their website, I'm just wondering where you put it if you do these type of shops and if the target sees it.

You are probably the first shopper who has said $400 to $700 is not all that expensive Button cameras work with button down shirts. I was able to find some polo shirts with a placket deep enough to accommodate the button cam, but it wasn't easy and will depend on your body type. I wouldn't suggest stowing the DVR in a shirt pocket. Most of us put it in a pants pocket and you need to be sure the shirt is long enough to cover.

ok thanks, I was looking at pen cameras that were $70-$100. The video and audio is demonstrated as really clear on their website but then again, I can't just hold the camera out in front of me.

Those won't work for video shopping. Use the search function here for video shopping, all dates and you will find many useful threads.

Pen camera's are crappy in that after awhile they don't work. I had to return the first two I got because they wouldn't work out of the box. The best bang for the buck it's under 200 is the CCTV CCD Video Camera Digital. I saved up some of my Shops pay and bought it at the Austin Spy Shop. Basically it looks like s shirt button, in fact the kit comes with spare buttons so you can make all of the buttons on your shirt look the same. So you have all of the buttons on your shirt except one, I use the third one down. That one is just a hole. The actual equipment looks about the size of a regular camera with a screen. A cord runs from the box to a tiny lens that a face shirt button screws onto. The "box" takes a memory stick. You charge it up, pc or outlet, you turn it on and test the quality of the picture. If it's fuzzy you turn the tiny lens until the picture is clear and poke it through your fake button hole. Next you screw the face button on the camera (it's really tiny) and run a cord under your shirt and into the box which you put in your pocket. Then you wear a large shirt, coat or sweater (something that hangs down over the exposed cord or I guess you could poke a hole in your pants pocket. That's about it. For women you can use a purse and have the equipment inside and make it a decorative purse with several buttons on it. I've known people who've rigged a hat but I would think that's be awkward with the box inside the hat. Hope that helps.
