I need a portable camera that is small enough not to catch the attention of others. I know such a thing existed, but I've yet to find a seller. I'm not concerned with quality of video, I just want video. I also need a way of saving the data temperately before transferring it over to a hard drive (perhaps a SD card?). It also needs to be able to hold half a day's worth of video. The way I figure it, its 400mb for an hour of DVD video, so this shouldn't be too bad. I'm not too concerned with sound either.

Thanks for your help
Gordon Bell at Microsoft (MyLifeBits) has been doing this (and much more) for over three years. He wears a SenseCam camera that records his entire life. It gets stored on terabyte disk drives. Of course, he has the full funding of Microsoft Research. For you to do the same thing would involve very deep pockets.

Check out the article in the March 2007 issue of Scientific American for details.
