Secret USB Flash Drive Watch

December 30th, 2008 by Mark R in Cool Clocks, Spy Stuff

Today must be Advanced Watch Day, because I just finished reporting on a new Cellular Phone Watch from LG. This next watch feels just as advanced, as it comes with a 4GB USB Flash Drive.

This USB drive fits snugly into the case, where no one will look for it. In fact, that is one thing I like about this watch: it doesn’t look like heavily advanced spy watch. No, this watch looks completely innocuous with its fancy exterior.

The USB Hidden Flash Drive Watch has “a plastic case covered by a stainless steel mask with brushed silver finish and convex mineral glass with a shiny raised index”. It may not be a Rolex, but it is fancy enough for James Bond to sport.

The inexpensive Wild Planet Mobile Spy Ear

December 17th, 2008 by Ally in Childrens Gadgets, Remote Control Toys, Spy Stuff, Toys

There have been cars that give you the ability to spy on a room before, but this one is far more affordable than the other ones I’ve seen.  It probably won’t be as great of quality as the ones you’re pay around $100 for.  However, it also means that you can be a spy no matter what your price range.  Hopefully the engine is quiet though.  Nothing’s more embarrassing than getting caught spying with your toy car.

New range of Nokia spy phones

December 15th, 2008 by Edwin in Mobile Phones, Spy Stuff

I don’t know about you, but I would definitely be thrilled to receive a brand new cell phone regardless of the occasion. Heck, if you want to gift all of us at Coolest Gadgets the latest Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, by all means go ahead and splurge – it doesn’t really matter whether we all have a phone already, but having yet another would come in pretty handy just in case our current one breaks or malfunctions. Just be a bit wary though if your worst nemesis hands you a shiny new Nokia – it might actually hail from Spycatcheronline.co.uk, which means whatever conversations you hold can be eavesdropped upon simply by dialing a secret code. Of course, if this sounds nefarious to you, how about turning the tables around and getting a new handset for whoever you want to spy upon covertly?

The aptly named Can Opener Hidden Camera features automatic shutoff for hands-free operation and works as a pretty good can opener, opening cans of all sizes without breaking a sweat.

X-ray Vision: Not just for Superman anymore

November 26th, 2008 by Mark R in Digital Cameras, Photography, Spy Stuff

This next device is for those who, as children, shelled out their allowance money for “X-ray Specs” only to find that these paper goggles could not see through clothes at all. All they could do is make some illusion of bones on your hands, but you had to get the light just right.

The David Steele catalog has apparently discovered the secret of X-ray vision, without the use of harmful radiation. The X-ray Vision Camera Lens attaches to most camcorders, and works as an infrared filter.

Apparently, most clothing can allow light and infrared light to pass through the fabric, and this light is reflected back through the clothing. We normally see the reflected normal light mixed with the infrared light, and the lens can filter the normal light out. This allows the clothes to look transparent, or at least give a semi-transparent effect.

I included a picture of the effect after the jump. It has the appropriate black bars over the eyes and…other areas.

Hollow Spy Coins for those on a mission

November 11th, 2008 by Edwin in Spy Stuff



We know that coins can be used to play a prank on others by squirting water, but here is something much more serious. It allows you to store precious information within without giving the game away. Do you have a microSD memory card containing risqué images of your weekend that you do not want anyone else to see, ever? Well, store it within the Hollow Spy Coin, of course! You can use it as a form of currency without being detected or charged for fraud, although that wouldn’t make real financial sense since the nickel alone will cost $30.

Recon Scout is ready for dangerous undercover surveillance work

October 31st, 2008 by Mark R in Digital Cameras, Remote Control, Spy Stuff

The Recon Scout looks like it has borrowed its design from the Sony Rolly, but it is able to take video footage instead of playing music.

The Recon Scout, designed by a Minneapolis-based company called ReconRobotics, is a durable little mobile camera designed to roll along the floor. It is a discrete way of getting video footage in hostile territory, and has already been successfully tested in war zones like Iraq. It even has an infrared camera with night vision for shooting in the dark.

According to Popular Mechanics, the Recon Scout is planned to be tested in prisons. That way, you could send it into areas where no one would want to go, and it will scan some areas discreetly. Now this is way to see what prison life is like. So, the next time a prisoner drops his soap in the shower, he can bend over and…see the Recon Scout.
