Make Your Own Covert Video Spy Sunglasses
(6 votes, average: 4.33 out of 5)
Wouldn’t it be really cool to have a spy camera that could be used to record a video of exactly what you see? Wouldn’t it be even better to have it completely concealed so that nobody knew that you were spying on them? Sounds something you would see in the TV Series Bugs (actually Season 3, Episode 8: Buried Treasure to be precise!). This great article on Instructables shows you how you can make your own covert spy camera sunglasses made from low cost chunky sunglasses and a cheap spy camera from eBay.
The camera is simply a wired pinhole spy camera that’s very easy to obtain. Using some black wires, the audio, video and power cables to the camera are extended so that they can be plugged into a video recorder. The video recorder could easily be concealed within a backpack, and the wires can be concealed under the strap too.
I think the real trick to these spy sunglasses is that they are chunky enough to conceal a whole camera. Spy cameras are pretty small, but they can still feel awkward if they are located next to your eye. Finding the smallest possible camera will make the glasses that little more comfortable.
To get some “ideas” on what you can use the spy sunglasses for, have a watch of the amusing video below!
