iOS Controlled Rover Spy Tank Apparently Has No Idea What Spying’s All About
By Andrew Liszewski It’s been a while since we brought you a good piece of spygear. And that’s probably because 99% of the spy gear consumers can get their hands on is complete rubbish. Case in point, this Rover Spy Tank. Effective spying requires cunning, stealth and speed. And I’m sure this thing possesses none…

Prism 200c Through-Wall Radar Backpack Clearly Designed For Cool, Nonchalant Spies
By Andrew Liszewski Cambridge Consultants’ Prism through-wall radar product line has been around for a few years now, but the latest version, the 200c pictured above, is one of the more inconspicuous iterations.

The CIA Has A Flickr Gallery Including Photos Of Some Of Their Declassified Toys
By Andrew Liszewski Easily the best part of the old James Bond films was when 007 stopped by Q’s laboratory to load up on multi-function gadgets, and occasionally pick up his new ride. But it turns out that Q’s creations didn’t only exist in the imaginations of Hollywood propmakers. The CIA actually had their own…

Sound Recording USB Flash Drive Has Me Suspiciously Eyeing A Mountain Of CES Press Kits
By Andrew Liszewski So we returned from CES this year with around 180GBs of USB flash drives, mostly from press kits and the like.

By Andrew Liszewski Even if you’re not an investigative reporter, private eye or just plain creepy, there are a lot of times when being able to record a telephone conversation could save your butt.

Spy Camera T-Shirt Cleverly Hides The Lens In The Most Obvious Spot
By Andrew Liszewski Sometimes the best hiding spot is right out in the open, and that’s exactly the philosophy behind ThinkGeek’s latest creation, the Electronic Spy Camera Shirt. The tee features a faux movie poster graphic for a non-existent film called From Tokyo With Love, with the hero looking through the lens of a camera.…

SpyNet Mission Video Watch With Optional Snake Cam Accessory
By Andrew Liszewski ThinkGeek’s a little vague when it comes to the tech specs on this SpyNet Mission Video Watch, but since it’s able to capture upwards of 20 minutes of video I’m going to assume it’s not quite HD-capable. But what keeps it from being yet another piece of craptastic spygear is the optional…

Casio DS-5500 Desktop Calculator Spycam
By Andrew Liszewski It isn’t the first calculator spycam I’ve written about, nor will it probably be my last, but this model has something very important going for it. It’s built into an actual Casio DS-5500 desktop calculator, which is probably the best office camouflage you could ever imagine, since no one, not even accountants,…

Covert Video Watch Manages To Capture HD Footage
By Andrew Liszewski I’m pretty tired of all the supposed ‘spy’ gear on the market because to be perfectly honest, if it wasn’t developed by the CIA or MI6, it ends up being pretty crappy. But I’m cautiously optimistic that this video-capable covert watch might actually not suck that much. The design is surprisingly something…

Invisible Bluetooth Earpiece Will Get Lost In Your Brain
By Evan Ackerman There’s an inverse relationship between the size of a Bluetooth headset and the amount of annoyingness it can be responsible for, which makes this “Invisible Bluetooth Earpiece” by definition the most annoying thing in existence. But if you’re wearing this, you won’t care, because you’ll be too busy playing spy. The earpiece…
