About the Santa Cam
What is a Santa Cam?
A Santa Cam offical (made by Santa Claus) is a round plastic/glass done camera. It comes in Varuoius sizes and colours. A Santa-Cam is used to Catch Santa Claus on Camera when he is in your home.
The History of the Santa Cam:
One day in ealry January 2014 Santa Claus was sitting in his North Pole Magical head quaters (known as Santa's Secret snow kingdom palace) and a letter arrived down Santa's huge Chimney. Its highly unusual for santa Claus to recive a letter at this time of the year so he sent one of his elves, Patch, to go and get the letter for him from the grand old fire place (luckily the fire was not alight). The letter was addressed to: Santa Claus, North Pole secret Kingdom and was marked as 'Urgent' on the envolope. Santa opend the letter and to his surprise it Said:
Santa was saddened by the letter. Although Santa is used to rumours about him on the internet its always disheartening when a young child is starting to become a bisbeliver. Previous rumours were santa was going to walk Meghan Markle down the isle, when in fact he was going to watch on Santa-Cam, and a rumour did Santa Claus invent the wheel or only the Santa-Cam?, despite it being well known Santa Claus does not need wheels as his Magic Sleigh can fly, pulled by his 12 Magical Reindeers.
Santa started thinking 'how can i make sure the modern generation belive in Santa Claus? What modern, new twist can i put on the Santa Claus Christmas Eve experiance?'
It was then Santa was struck by a Magical Brainwave. A Camera, A Santa-Cam in every home in the world so the children could see him arriving at thier house with the presents. What better way to make children belive in Santa Claus. Santa Called his head of Elf production, Dodger to his North Pole office. This was not the first time Santa Claus had come up with a Great Idea for a new Christmas Product.... In 2017 Santa decided to launch a Fitness video recorded on Santa-Cam, and a Santa Cam tv Channel called SC1.
Between the two of them (Santa Claus and Dodger) they started to design this fantastic new product called they called the Santa-Cam. They thought about other names for the device such as, the Santa Tracker, Santa Spy Cam, and Catch Santa on Camera Uk, but in the end the Santa-Cam name remained.
Origionally when Santa Claus told his wife Mrs Claus about the new product she was somewhat sceptical. She was concerned that allowing children to see what Santa did in there home somehow took away part of the Magic. Santa disagreed and in his view the Santa-Cam made Christmas even more Magical.
The origional design which turned our to be a disaster was a Christmas bauble type Santa Cam that could hang from the childrens Christmas Tree and Catch Santa on Camera. Unfortunatly this design had its faults, and the camera ket spinng and facing into the Tree. Dodger sugested using the design from a real world CCTV Camera. Santa claus was not keen on the design, but he said maybe a more modern design for his new Santa-Cam was required.
Dodger came up with several designs. Santa Claus favourite one was the domed Santa-Cam with Flashing red light. Once the final design was signed off by Santa Claus the NEW SANTA CAM hit production in his North Pole workshop. Over the next few years Santa tweeked the design to what you see today. One major change was changing the dome on the Santa Cam from Plastic to Glass, and a deal with Duracell to include free battery's with every Santa Cam (before Santa-Cam's run on AA battery's supplied by the Energize Bunny).
Over the next decade Santa-Cam sales increased yearly. Today almost 15.9 million homes in the world have a working Santa-Cam, bringing joy to Millions of Children all over the world at Christmas from the UK to the USA.
Santa Continues to develop his Santa-Cam and a New Santa-Cam X Model is expected at Christmas 2018.

Whats Inside a Santa Cam?
Althought the workings of the Santa-Cam are a closley gaurded secret by Santa Tech Magzine Which took a Santa cam to pieces to try and discover how it works. To there amazment apart from a few very small cercuit boards and tehe flashing light the Santa Cam actually contained very little machinery. Jacob Walsh head of product reviews at Which Magazine said: 'We was really surprised to open up the Santa-Cam and find such little machinery. We did however find a little bottle of Magic Dust and we think this might be behind the Magical powers of the Santa Cam. The magic bottle was there for only seconds. As soon as we lifted the lid it seemed to disappear.
When Santa Claus was informed that Which Magazine had attemoted to open a Santa Cam to discover his secrets he Said: (Laugh) There is certainky not way to hack into the Santa Cam system by opening up his exterior casing. The Santa-Cam system runs on Magic and there is no way other than if you are an elve to gain access to our Magic Potion. We do not recomend people dismalte there Santa Cam as this can break the magic and stop the Unit working.

Its not all been positive reviews though. Anti Christmas group 'i dislike Christmas' said: I think its a gross invasion of Privacy. Why on earth anyone would want a Santa-Cam is beyond me and my organisation. Although childrens Charity Childline has said that the camera's are safe.

Dear Santa Claus
Thank you for my presents this year. My Brother Simon has been very horrible to me this year and he has said santa Claus is not real.
Im really upset becouse my brother said that my parents leave the presents and you do not exsist.
Please write back to me to prove you are real. I think my brother is wrong but i want to prove to him you are real. I really enjoyed the present you sent me Christmas eve and I play with it everyday. For this Christmas 2018 i would like a BMX bike and a doll.
Thank you
Jack Jones (Manchester, Canal street, Uk)
