It is true. Even if you are not an expert in electronics, you can turn your run-of-the-mill sunglasses into a hidden spy camera! And all for a very low cost, with minimum effort and knowledge on your part, and with just a few basic tools and parts. Here is how.

Things You will Need

You will need black sunglasses, preferably the type that wraps around your eyes and can accommodate a mini camera on its side. The darker the sunglasses, the better to conceal the hidden spy camera.

You will also need a mini spy camera, which you can get online or from auction houses. If possible, secure a mini spy camera with color capabilities and audio-recording capacities. This way, you will have higher quality video and audio footages.

You also have to look for a mini camcorder for recording the video and audio footages. Opt for a gadget that fits easily into your pocket. With some types of camcorders, you might have to use cargo pants for its wide pockets.

You also need to buy 24-gauge black wire to extend the wires on the hidden spy camera. Also purchase a 9-volt battery for its power source.

The tools necessary for this type of do-it-yourself project are your trusty wire snips for cutting wires, your soldering gun to solder wires, shrink tubing to protect the wire connections, and a hot glue gun to attach the spy camera to the sunglasses. If you have all these and a little patience, then you are set to make your very own homemade hidden spy camera.

Modify the Mini Spy Camera

First, expose the separate wiring in the camera by peeling off the protective one-wire casing. Using your wire snips, trim the exposed wires on the spy camera to about 3-4 inches from the camera itself. You should see 4 exposed wires - power, audio, video, and ground. All these should converge into three connectors only - power, audio and video - since the ground wire is connected to all three.

Get your black wire and cut four lengths of about 4 feet. Using your soldering gun, you will then solder each length into the exposed spy camera wires. After this, you have to add heat shrink tubing to protect the new connections. You will then put finishing touches on your ready-to-be-mounted hidden spy camera by soldering the other wire ends to the appropriate connector end. You can apply more shrink tubing as necessary to produce an all-black wire, which will blend with your black sunglasses.

After thoroughly cleaning the sunglasses, you can then mount your modified mini spy camera on the sunglasses’ arm. Choose the side which fits you more comfortably.

You then connect the audio and video wires of the mini spy camera to your camcorder. Add the 9 volt battery to the power line and you are set to go. Just hide the wires inside your shirt and on to your pants pocket.

Enjoy! You can now shoot video and audio footages with your homemade hidden spy camera! Imagine the endless possibilities of this gadget. Just be very careful as laws and ethics can be very different from your own purpose.

Let’s face it, spy gadgets are just cool. Maybe it’s the influence of movie characters like James Bond or even Batman, but the latest technological wonders have always had us salivating for more. And with technology being hyper miniaturized and more affordable, it seems that having spy gadgets is pretty commonplace. One need not to look further than cell phones with camera and video recording capabilities. Almost every kid has one of these! Now that’s a scary thought.

Expanding more on the movie theme, the famous quote, “With great power comes great responsibility” was attributed to the Spiderman mythology. We can extrapolate this lesson to spy technology. So before you go out to play with your latest spy gizmo or present your child with one, remember the lesson to use it properly - or, remember what NOT to use it for.

Does it even need to be said not to place a spy camera in bathrooms, bedrooms and dressing rooms? These are the areas that people expect to have privacy so please respect that. Furthermore, it’s just plain wrong not to mention that it’s against the law.

Also, don’t even think about using a spy camera in casinos to gain advantage on the house or other opponents. The truth of the matter is, they probably have more cameras on you. To make it clear, just don’t use a spy camera to cheat in any manner for whatever occasion.

Let’s also not forget that it’s a bad idea to take a spy camera into a movie theater for illegal recording purposes. Not only can you face a fine if you get caught but you can also jail time.

All that being said, when deciding to use a spy camera, just use your good judgment. Spy cameras can be very useful and are vital to the police and private detectives in their undercover work. However, law enforcement can’t be everywhere and that’s why it’s great that the general public has access to spy technology. As in most cases, it’s the amateur videographer that has the camera ready when catching a crime in progress. Thanks to hidden nanny cams and other types of home surveillance, countless abusive nannies and babysitters have been caught for child abuse or the hired help has been caught for stealing.

When used correctly, hidden spy cameras are great for fighting and protecting against crime. All it takes is a little remembering that with great spy technology, comes great responsibility.
