Wild Planet Spy Video Car

The Spy Video Car is the first RC video camera with infrared night vision! Because plain-sight video monitors are not acceptable in the spy world, you'll need the one-of-a-kind private screen of the Spy Video Car to keep your secrets safe from enemy eyes. Wear the lightweight frames with the single LCD lens to ensure you're the only one who views the video transmitted through your RC vehicle. Adjust the camera angle on the wireless spy car and send it on secret missions using the hand-held remote control. Observe the journey and the destination through the small screen attached to your headset. Darkness poses no obstacle for the Spy Video Car as its infrared night-vision system lets you see clearly in the dark without emitting any visible traces of light. From the safety of your spy headquarters, watch what's going on wherever your video vehicle travels, indoors and out, up to 75 feet away. 90 day warranty. The ultimate spy rover is here!

Customer feedback:

1. Pretty expensive but I ended up splurging and getting it for my 8 year old nephew for this coming Christmas. I ended up giving it to him this weekend instead; I wanted to see it go too and couldn't wait 4 months!
My nephew REALLY likes it but, oy!, is the video bad -- what they show in the online commercial is quite a bit clearer and contrasty than what we see in our actual unit. I think the infrared aspect blurs things a bit and its sensitivity is pretty low in any case. You can't read ANY writing thru the video, regardless of size of print, etc. Still, the video link is minimally serviceable (adequate for manuevering with a little bit of practice) and my nephew has a BIG time sitting in his "command center" and sending it out on "remote missions" using only the onboard video link. Seems fairly robust and sturdy so far.

2. The toy itself is great fun. It's basically a remote control car with a spy camera on it that you can use to view anything it's pointed at and you view using spy glasses. The image is black and white and pretty good quality. It's equivalent to any remote video spycam you see shown on tv like from atm's or other spycams. The car is also very quite. I've heard reviewers write it's loud. Ours is not at all. It's not completely silent. If you are sitting in a room reading a book you will hear it come in, but if there is any noise in the room at all, a conversation going on, the tv on, or a radio at normal levels, the car can sneak in unnoticed so beware those of you in the shower, lock the doors. The kids have great fun trying to sneak in on parents activities. I found myself typing on the computer several times only to see this thing watching me and hear my kids in the other room laughing.
