$400 just seems inexpensive for a hidden video camera. i'm sure it's a good piece of equipment, but it's probably the standard because it just meets the minimum standard requirements. i'm just assuming, of course. but i wouldn't want to spend more than that either, if i didn't have to.

i'm very interested in performing the hidden camera shops, and i don't mind investing the money. just so i know for certain that there would be enough assignments in my area to make a reasonable profit.
