IT seems that Hongkong employers do not trust their staff.
China Sun Industries has received more than 350 enquiries since it launched its range of miniature spy video cameras in Hongkong a few weeks ago.
''Most demand has come from bosses worried that their staff might be pilfering from their companies,'' said China Sun sales manager Lee Scharpf.
''It is said that more is stolen worldwide from companies by their own staff than by outsiders.'' The ''invisible'' closed-circuit television cameras, with miniature five milli_metre lenses, come built into a variety of cheeky disguises - a walk clock, a mirror, even a fire detector.
''We could build cameras into radios, filing cabinets, even perhaps a flower pot. You name it, we could probably do it,'' said Mr Scharpf.
