What is a Lipstick Camera?
A lipstick camera is a very small video or still camera which is roughly the size and shape of a tube of lipstick, hence the name. Lipstick cameras are also sometimes called bullet cameras, again in a reference to their distinctive shapes. There are a number of uses for lipstick cameras, ranging from helmet-mounted point of view cameras for skydivers to various spying and investigative applications. Many camera and photo supply stores carry lipstick cameras, and they can also be obtained from retailers who specialize in clandestine observation equipment. The design of a lipstick camera tends to be very simple and pared down, because of the small size. The camera may be able to store images on a small internal storage device, or it can broadcast a signal to a receiver. The image quality on a lipstick camera varies widely; some producers make very high quality cameras with great resolution, while others can record a great deal of footage, but the footage may be grainy or otherwise imperf
