At first glance, it might look funny. And I know, many of those who've read the headline would snigger at the thought of having a flashlight with built in video camera. But upon closer inspection and much thought into it, it is especially useful, most particularly during dangerous situations such as robberies or the like. Christened the Flashlight DVR, it can record in MP4 format stored in Mini SD memory cards up to 2GB in size. But there's also a USB 1.1 port if you prefer to use that instead. It features a built-in microphone, small LCD display, and a 4m night vision range. It weighs 520 grams without the three C batteries and costs US$400 in the Swann security web site.
