The scene seemed to reflect the epic gladiator battles in ancient Rome. The sound from the inner arena was deafening. The fans were on their feet, raising their fists in the air and chanting “DEFEND! DEFEND!” The visiting team’s star player lowered his shoulder, then headed for the basket. As the final seconds of the contest ticked down on the game clock, the defending player crashed to the ground. Another offensive player leaped into the air, his fingertips barely reaching the outstretched arm of another defender. After the shot, the ball bounced off the hoop three times, then reluctantly fell through the orange metal hoop. Who won? Who lost? Does the shot count? The wireless hidden camera knows this.
Sports have become a cornerstone of modern culture, often involving Hollywood-style contract signings, multi-million dollar product endorsements, and athletes training as if they were going to war. Meanwhile, wireless hidden cameras help maintain the integrity of the game and the players.
The basics
The wireless hidden camera is a small, hard to notice, battery powered video camera. Sends images to a receiver within 300 to 500 feet of the camera. The receiver can be connected to a television while a DVR or VCR records the signal from the camera.
Recorded
Aside from using these cameras to create a reality show of the lives of professional gamers, filming them injecting themselves with steroids, for example, will continue to be a challenge. However, catching cheaters on the court, field, or ring is a whole different story. Different types of athletes are often charged with different violations. Basketball players sometimes double as actors and “drop” on the ground when they were never really crowded. Baseball players, on the other hand, sandpaper their gloves, spit on a ball, or fill a bat with cork. Boxers periodically throw an illegal “low blow” below the belt, or “throw a fight” by falling to the canvas after being hit with a love bunt. Wireless hidden cameras help game officials detect these violations and the culprits.

Referees are consistently accurate and fair when officiating sporting events. At least in theory, they should be. Several sports movies like “Friday Night Lights” and “Hoosiers,” however, show how “home team umpires” cheat by making calls that shouldn’t be made or by not making calls that should be made. Additionally, while college and professional sporting events are typically filmed and televised, those in smaller venues, such as high school or community sporting events, typically are not. In these latter cases, the use of hidden wireless cameras can be particularly useful for reviewing questionable decisions made by referees.
stop fans of violence
While hidden wireless cameras can help protect players from rogue referees, they can also come to the rescue of fans who are under attack. In recent times, simply attending sporting events has become risky. Hundreds of people have died in the past decade in accidents and stampedes involving soccer matches played in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, and South Africa. Also, in late 2004, one of the worst fights in NBA history involved players and fans trading blows. And if you want to attend a hockey game, consider wearing a helmet whether you’re ice skating or sitting in the stands.
Wireless hidden cameras are very useful to stop acts of violence. They allow security personnel to defend themselves before fights start. The size and mobility of these tools help them detect and record the actions of rogue fanatics.
Sporting events must never be dangerous to your health or to the integrity of the game. With wireless hidden cameras, you can be sure that it will stay that way.
