This new device is the bionic ear with a new twist. Designed for those long distance stake-outs the dish will amplify sounds while the built in monocular will allow you to watch everything all from a safe distance. Best of all this unit has a 12 second record and playback feature with auto-overwrite that allows you to keep a record of the most important dealings. Not just for the average spy this device is also an excellent tool for the nature lover that wants to watch and listen to their favorite animals in the wild without alerting them to their presence.
