Rover: App-Controlled Spy Tank on the Cheap

You’ve got the skies covered with the new Spy Hawk but, now need some eyes on the ground? The Rover has you covered – for under a hundo!

This mini spy tank features a camera that is capable of streaming live video or taking still pictures, making it perfect for doing those things special agents do… or just messing with the family pet. Even low light situations won’t be a problem with the built in infrared night vision.

Simply download the free app from the iTunes App Store and connect any iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to the self generated Wi-Fi connection for a 100 foot range of urban reconnaissance goodness (200 if unobstructed).

Need to keep an ear on what the enemy is saying? The Rover also features a built in microphone capable of transmitting sound back to your preferred Apple device.

With all these features its no surprise that the Rover tends to chew up its 6 AA battery power source so, you’ll probably want to pick up a rechargeable battery option as a good companion.

Sold exclusively at Brookstone, the Rover can be had for just $99 with free shipping included. Pick up a couple for a game of wireless mechanized hide and seek.
