SEOUL: Shin Jang-jin's shop in Incheon offers seemingly innocuous household items, from pens and lighters to watches and smoke detectors, but with a secret feature - a hidden one millimetre-wide-lens that can shoot video.
Shin insists his gadgets serve a useful purpose, allowing people to capture evidence of domestic violence or child abuse, and told AFP he has refused to serve customers looking to spy on women in toilets.But the 52-year-old admits he is not always able to spot unscrupulous buyers. Under current regulations, spycam buyers are not required to give personal information, making it difficult to trace their ownership and use of the devices.
