I was going through some old files from a case I worked on a couple of years ago and stumbled upon my trusty old camcorder. It made me wonder if private investigators still use this kind of equipment or if everything’s shifted to high-tech gadgets. I’ve found that sometimes the simplest tools can really do the job. Anyone else?
I totally get the nostalgia around that old camcorder; they can capture great footage without all the tech fuss. I’ve found that while high-tech gear can be helpful, sometimes it’s the simpler tools that can catch events in a less intrusive way. Have you tried mixing old-school methods with some modern tech, like using your camcorder alongside a smartphone for versatility?
I’ve definitely found value in using both old-school and new tools for different situations. Like you mentioned about the camcorder, I often use it for capturing events where discretion is key, but I always bring my smartphone as a backup for quick uploads. What kind of cases do you think this combo would work best for?
