Remote control spy glasses offer built-in camera, music playback

Comically enough, these aren't the first sunglasses we've seen with a hidden camera built right in, but for those who don't need full motion video to catch someone red-handed, this much cheaper alternative should certainly do the trick. As you can tell from the not-at-all-noticeable modules flanking the sides, there's a 1.3-megapixel camera up there along with a rechargeable Li-ion, 1GB of storage and a pair of earbuds to keep the elevator music going even after you reach the eleventh floor. You'll also find USB 2.0 connectivity and a remote control for slyly snapping shots, but really, if you roll into a debutante ball with these gracing your face, expect your cover to be blown in record time.

because nobody would suspect you of something fishy if you had those on...

Right to Privacy has been DENIED.

Now someone with a bulky pair of glasses can take pictures of your upskirt while you are just sitting there unaware.

What's next? hidden cameras that look like bathroom doorknobs?

@ Flashpoint

I am pretty sure the unsuspecting female would think something was awry when you put the glasses on and stuck ur head between her feet.

just sayin.

Oh yea,

"Take a picture, it lasts longer"

"... OK"

Where is the mustache?

[Cal @ Apr 7th 2008 9:39AM]

Wow, the bulges on the side are so inconspicuous...

[OneLove @ Apr 7th 2008 10:48AM]

...thats what she said.

I see these being more popular for extreme sports more then used for covert actions.lol. If u needed handsfree useage this would be perfect. Wonder how bad the quality is though?

Holy crap, there are modules there? I didn't notice at all! When I read that there were, I had to stare at in in a weird way and move slowly towards and away from it like those magic eye pictures, then the camera modules suddenly popped out into view!!!

Pure design streamlined genius.

whoever came up with these needs to get a real job.

[Wes @ Apr 7th 2008 10:36AM]

Subtle.

Reminds me of the scene in Kentucky Fried Movie where the 'bug' is a guy sitting behind the couch with a boom mike.

"Dog" the bounty hunter can film his own choke holds.

[K @ Apr 7th 2008 12:49PM]

Now I have the "Secret Agent Man" song stuck in my head. Are they kidding with that mess?

[josh @ Apr 7th 2008 12:56PM]

Fugly...

[PhilR8 @ Apr 7th 2008 1:25PM]

I think these are great. As a biker, I'm always wary of idiot drivers out there, and something like this would be perfect to capture some idiot cutting you off or, god forbid, doing something that would cause you harm.

[Archr5 @ Apr 7th 2008 2:09PM]

I wish they would give it up with the MP3 function and work on slimming these down some.

I NEED to have a pair of spider jerusalem specs and these are too bulky and obnoxious to fit the bill.

You are more likely to be suspected of hiding a rifle than you are to be suspected of having a camera wearing those things...

[BigD145 @ Apr 7th 2008 3:22PM]

-"What is that lens looking thing on your glasses?"

+"Oh, well, it's definitely not a camera."

[unkiebeats @ Apr 7th 2008 3:23PM]

yeah....real discreet.

[RCL1221 @ Apr 7th 2008 9:03PM]

I'll just make my own via kipkay.

[Nelson @ Apr 8th 2008 12:55AM]

Just like Clark Kent I would fool everyone, without them I am no one *sigh*

[jally @ May 21st 2008 4:45AM]
