I was at the CNYC thing this past weekend, and went to the new technology panel. Someone from Habitat was there and mentioned the New Products they have on the front page of the website. I was looking through it and there's a lot of interesting looking stuff. I was wondering if any other boardmembers have used anhy of the new products there. Is it a useful resource to look at now and then?

I'm interested in the table lamp that doubles as a security camera, which was in the New Products section maybe a month ago. (It's here: http://www.habitatmag.com/publication_content/previous_new_products/brickhouse_nightvision_dvr_spy_lamp)
Does anyone out there have experience with surreptitous security recording? I see security cameras hanging from buildings on the street all the time, without a sign saying "you are being videotaped." Do we need to put a sign in our lobby if we've got a security camera? Is the law different for an obvious security camera, no matter how small, or a hidden camera? A lot of elevators have essentially hidden cameras, with no "you are being videotaped" signs.
Before I go to the rest of my board, I want to have good information, and wanted to check with fellow board members before going to the board attorney and racking up fees.
