Finally a toy that encourages the kids to play in the street at night! Seriously this thing is pretty cool. The Spy Video Car is a radio controlled car with a night vision camera mounted on it. Kids can see everything the car sees with a special set of goggles. The R/C Spy Video Car is small enough to navigate the living room without smashing into too many pieces of furniture. As a parent all you can do is hope that this thing is loud enough to hear coming so you don’t get caught doing something I don’t want the kids to know about.
The Spy Video Car comes with a Heads Up Display (HUD) that can be worn by the operator to see everything the car sees in the dark. It is basically a set goggles with that plug into the controller with tiny monitors in them. The HUD receives the digital camera signal via a wireless transmission from the car. The night vision picture is in black and white.
The Spy Video Car comes with one Spy Video Car, a remote control, HUD, and instructions. The car’s dimensions are 9” x 7” x 4”. The controller’s signal has a range of about 75 feet. The required 12 AA batteries are not included. You can pick up the R/C Spy Video Car from Think Geek for about $130.
