I Spy with My Little – Spy Camera Glasses!

I might be a spy at heart, but I’m no technological genius. I’d have to carry around a special briefcase with instruction manuals, if “Q” ever offered to equip me. However, here’s a REALLY fun gadget that even I don’t need my daughter to instruct me on!

The Spy Camera Glasses. Nice looking pair of shades, a very decent camera and very easy to operate.

The shades themselves seem pretty good. They have polarised lenses with UV400 sun protection, so they’re not just good looking – they work. A set of clear lenses for indoor use is included in the package! A 1.3 megapixel camera, (1280 x 1024 resolution,) is tucked into the arm of the glasses. There’s a remote so that you can take your pictures without having to reach up to the arm. There are even earbud headphones built into the arms, so that you can listen to MP3s while you’re waiting for that “memorable moment”.

Surreptitious pictures aside, this is a cool gadget to have. Whether you’re on a trip or just walking around - or even watching your kids at a school activity - it’s so easy to simply press the arm of your shades – or use the remote – to capture up to 10,000 pictures. (Not to mention snapping the number plates of the guy who has just bashed your fender!)

The battery lasts up to 9 hours, or 6 hours if you’re playing MP3s. A USB cable is included for downloading to your PC. A storage case and cleaning cloth is also included in the kit.

Gimmicky it may be, but it really is a very cool way of having your camera available at all times, and MP3 entertainment thrown in. I’d love a pair to wear under my helmet.
