DIY spy sunglasses cost just $40

On the real, spy glasses are old hat, but building a set on your own for under $40 is most definitely notable. An engineering fellow has managed to do just that by snagging a micro camera from eBay for around $18 and wiring it up to a $20 pair of Solar Shield shades. From there, he connected the camera to a pocket-friendly MiniDV camcorder -- which we're sure could be done wirelessly for those with extra time -- and continued on to snag quite a few questionable reels of footage from a day at the beach. Of course, you won't find us recommending that you let your inner voyeur loose or anything, but feel free to tag the read link for all the instructions you need (and a video to boot).

[Ricardo Posted Jan 13th 2008 10:53AM]

Pretty impressive for a cat.

Mine wouldn't even get to the EBay part.

"hey buddy, is that a mini-DV cam in your pocket or are you just excited to see the girls in bikinis?"

[ZeroCorpse Posted Jan 13th 2008 12:50PM]

"On the real" ???

Is that right, Huggy Bear?

[Ellianth Posted Jan 13th 2008 1:01PM]

The real story here is where he got that camera (the one in his pocket) for less than 20 dollars.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 13th 2008 1:44PM]

Ebay! Just do a search for "New Wire Mini Pinhole Color Camera Spy Cam CCTV" It's not rocket science

[Ellianth Posted Jan 13th 2008 1:54PM]

I bet reading is rocket science for you though. I was asking about the mini dv cam, the one that the data is being stored on, "the one in his pocket". I'm sure that that doesn't cost 20 dollars.

He say's in the video that isn't includedd - he already had that so he didn't have to buy it just to make the camera sunglasses dduurrrhhhh - pay attention boy!!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 13th 2008 2:01PM]

No, that's not included. LOL!

[Wwhat Posted Jan 13th 2008 2:38PM]

It will only get worrisome once some clever hacker finds a way to put a camera in a cellphone or something. Yeah I know, farfetched.

[mos6507 Posted Jan 13th 2008 5:49PM]

The guy wearing that had to be a pervy middle aged guy with a five-oclock shadow.

[Jesse S Posted Jan 13th 2008 7:48PM]

Get wireless version. Use a paper clip to poke a hole into the top of a boot/shoe. Glue camera to top of boot.

Instant up-skirt camera!

And pervs around the world rejoice.

Heh.
