Bluetooth Headset Camcorder

by Edwin

A Bluetooth headset is pretty much commonplace, and more or less everyone who owns a cell phone has one of these in their pockets, at home, or dangling right outside their ear. The next time you see someone wearing something that is not quite like a Bluetooth headset, and yet isn’t a hearing aid, you might want to ask him/her whether this is the Bluetooth Headset Camcorder or not.

This unique Bluetooth headset will not only record, but can transmit video over to a smartphone device. Of course, you can forget about living the High Definition life with this since it will shoot video at 480p resolution at 30 fps, which should be good enough for spy videos and to collect incriminating evidence of your adversary with but a glance.

Wirelessly transmitting an MPEG4 recording to an iPhone or Android smartphone, your smartphone will function as the viewfinder as you position your head to properly align the camcorder with your field of vision. All recorded video will be instantly shared via e-mail, either that or you can opt to post them on Facebook or Youtube with but a single button press. Seems to be the perfect toy for James Bond junior at a rather hefty $199.95.

The Video Surveillance Clock Sees All

by Julie

In this day and age, we have the ability to know everything that’s going on in our lives, even when you’re not there. With the advent of the surveillance camera, we have become privy to whats happening in our streets and shops, or even what our kids are up to while they’re at pre-school. Parking lots, airports, the grocery store, somebody is always watching us. It got me to wondering, whats going on in my house when I’m not home.

Not that I don’t trust my husband, but I know I’m not the only one who wonders whats going on when I’m not looking, so in order to “catch” my husband telling people on the phone how wonderful I am, or walking around the house muttering to himself how much he misses me while hugging my pillow (hey, it’s my story, I’ll tell it the way I want to!) I’m thinking about the Video Surveillance Clock.This small (2 3/4″ Diam. x 3/4″ D ) analog clock has a built-in, motion-activated video surveillance camera that records both audio and video and takes photographs too, it’s just perfect for checking out the action in a room or office.

2GB Flash Drive Memory Spy Audio Digital Voice Sound Recorder

by Edwin

Now that’s certainly one of the longer names for any device in my history with Coolest Gadgets, why can’t we just call it a spy voice recorder? Oh yeah, perhaps that will not help it stand out from the rest of the crowd, that’s why. The next time you go to work and tote a USB flash drive, make sure it is this $19.99 model since it sports an advantage that your colleagues’ don’t – it has a built-in sound recorder. Yup, even if it is lying prone on a table, it is capable of capturing crystal clear audio across a 5-meter radius, storing all of the recordings onto its internal flash memory. All you need to do for that to happen is slide the switch and audio recording happens instantly and automatically. We find it rather strange that audio is recorded in WAV format instead of MP3, but good thing its 2GB of internal memory can hold up to 4.5 hours of non-stop recording. Since it doubles up as a USB flash drive as well, this one has something slightly different – an integrated 120mAH Li-battery that takes 1.5 hours to juice up. We would have liked to see something with more internal memory though to keep up with the Joneses.

Electronic Spy Camera Shirt

by Edwin

Having a spy camera is something that some of us out there might love to own, since there is a voyeuristric streak in us that we tend to keep suppressed. Well, ThinkGeek has the cure for that with the Electronic Spy Camera Shirt, where this $39.99 purchase will add a new dimension to your sense of fashion. How so, you ask? It is pretty self explanatory, where centered in the artwork on the shirt features James Bond holding a camera straight to his face. Of course, this is no ordinary camera picture, since hidden behind the soft cotton exterior likes a real spy camera. There will be a cable that hooks the camera to a tiny black box which is in your pocket, where all you need to do is place your hand non-chalantly inside, press the button, and the camera will start/stop recording. Of course, it will run on batteries (three AAA) and not magic, but that’s to be expected for something that can hold up to 150 digital photos in VGA resolution.

Spy Gear Security Scanner for those babies that want to grow up and be TSA employees

by Mark R

Spy Gear has put out a lot of interesting toys for aspiring Spy Kids for a long time.

One of their most recent additions is the Security Scanner, which is essentially one of those metal detecting wands that a security guard might use put in a toy form.

Oddly enough, it actually works. I found that there was this dial for “sensitivity”. If it was turned up all the way, it would go off all the time. If it was turned midway and pressed up against the pocket, it detected any metal with a beep and a green light.

Spy Watch from Jakks Pacific

by Mark R

It has been a while since we have reported on our friends from Wild Planet with their Spy Gear line. The last time was with the Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR.

This looks like something that Spy Gear would put out, but it is from Jakks Pacific. This is a spy watch that has an audio recorder that can do three hours of audio. It also has a camera lens capable of 20 minutes of video footage, and it can do still photos as well.

Since this is a Spy Watch, it has a feature that James Bond would love. It has a snake-cam that will allow you to see around corners.

Immortal Video Sunglasses

by Edwin

Hmmm, summer’s out already with fall kicking in – does that mean it is time to shed that pair of sunnies? We think not, especially when you own a pair of Immortal Video Sunglasses that are going for £249. They won’t lengthen your life on this earth in any way, but are capable of recording high quality videos at whatever you look at when wearing them, courtesy of a tiny pinhole camera that is located right out in front. Of course, singles won’t mind wearing this daily, but those with spouses might want to be more careful with what they look at next time – don’t let your eyes linger on a particular subject for too long! Videos recorded are in 736 x 480 resolution, and can be transferred over to your computer via USB. With 4GB of internal memory, it ought to be able to store a good range of memories before you need to perform a transfer. Each full battery charge offers up to 2.5 hours of recording capability.

Motion Activated Wall Switch Spy Camera

by Edwin

You can’t seem to trust anyone these days, which could very well be the reason behind more and more spy gizmos that are hitting the market. Here we have the Motion Activated Wall Switch Spy Camera which is pretty much self explanatory – it will record video whenever it detects movement within range, storing all footage onto a microSD memory card (up to 8GB) for your review later. Not only does it do video, but it also records audio so that you can be sure whatever your partner is discussing with a member of the opposite gender remains strictly business and nothing personal. It is a snap to install, and uses very little juice so you won’t notice a huge rise in your monthly power bill. With a 13 days standby time and 6 hours of recording, it will store all video in the MP4/AVI format at 640 x 480 resolution, snapping 2-megapixel stills as well if the need requires. Too bad the range of 3 meters is a tad short for a larger room, but otherwise it should do OK in a bedroom. The camera hold isn’t too discreet if you ask us though, but that’s what you get for $37 these days.
