Looks like it might be a Cheeson quad. Same model number, CX10. They are cool but very difficult to fly if you are a noob.

I have a slightly bigger Hubsan that comes with a camera already built in and replaceable batter. Cost me ~$30 on Ebay IIRC. It is also difficult to fly indoors.

My youngest son has a SYMA X5C-! which is bigger still but VERY easy to fly. It also comes standard with a camera and the controller is much better.

Here is a video of his first outdoor flight taken form the quad.

This video is his first flight but the view is from our balcony so you can see how high the quad went.

Tower Hobbies has some very easy to control quad copters and mini-helos for reasonable prices. None come with CCTV, but the tech is such that a mini-camera could be fitted for spying. They do tend to be noisy, so sneaking up on someone unawares is not too likely.
