Make Sneaky Spy Glasses

Video: Make Spy Sun Glasses
What you'll need

1. Spy Camera that has an optional 9 volt power clip.
2. 1 Pair wraparound sunglasses
3. Soldering station
4. Hot glue gun
5. Wire Strippers/snips
6. Heat shrink tubing
7. 9 Volt battery
8. Small Camcorder

Steps

First trim back the molding on the camera to reveal the wiring. Kip's camera had 4 wires. 1 for Video, Audio, Power and ground. cut the wiring about 4 inches from the camera, keep the cut wires. You'll need them later

Now you want to add about three feet of wiring to the wires still connected to the camera. After marking what each line is, solder one length of wire to each of the 4 cut lines coming from the camera. Add some shrink tubing and then solder the other ends of the new wire to the connector end.

Install the newly wired camera in a far corner of your wraparound sunglasses and secure with hot glue. Clean the glasses before you install the camera because you are not going to be able to access the lens area again once installed.

Then secure the wiring along the arm of the glasses.

Connect the camera to a recording device. Kip used a small camcorder with A/V inputs.

Add the 9 volt battery clip and you are ready to shoot some spy footage!
