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.[Via The Red Ferret Journal]
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).
Sunglasses with hidden camera and attached PVR make you the ultimate pervert
Finally you'll be able to get your new website -- BodaciousVoyeur.com -- off the ground thanks to this new, totally mind-blowing device: a personal video recorder with sunglasses acting as the camera. That's right, you can take the streets and record minutes upon minutes of video to the onboard 32MB of RAM (okay, you can throw an SD or MMC card in there for a little bit more time on the clock), in NTSC or PAL at 510 x 482 or 500 x 582 (depending on the format). The glasses, mistakenly described by the seller's site as "very stylish," contain a small camera with a 1/4-inch interline CCD sensor, and apparently they will also capture "exceptionally clear audio," though there's no specific mention of the kind of mic used. The whole hideous package can be yours for £695.00 (or around $1,400).[Via OhGizmo!]
