I always get excited when Kipkay sends me an email. This morning, he told me about this great way to make a pair of $40 spy sunglasses. This looks like a great project you can do with the kids (minus the recording at the beach.... daddy should do that on his own time.)

Tools you need:

• Soldering station
• Hot glue gun
• Wire Strippers/snips
• Heat shrink tubing
• 9 Volt battery
• Small Camcorder
  

Specs for the camera:

Micro Color Spy Camera that records audio and has an optional 9 volt power clip. ($17.95 on Ebay) Here are the spec of the camera Kipkay used:

• NTSC 380 TV Lines
• 2 LUX
• Effective Element: 510x492
• Viewing angle: 30 ~ 35 degrees
• Automatic Iris, Exposure with adjustable focus
• Viewing Distance: 50 mm to infinity
• Full Motion Real Time Color Video without delay
• Operating Voltage: 9-Volt Battery or AC-DC +8V 200mA Power Adapter
• Operating Duration by Battery: 10 hours on Duracell or Energizer Alkaline Battery
  

I did a search on eBay and it looks like Kipkay's $17 estimate is pretty accurate.

The only question I have which isn't addressed in the video is how will the wires be hidden in the back? Maybe you can wear a ear piece and convince people that the wires are for your cell phone or MP3 player.

What is this good for?

• Record your married boss hitting on the secretary. Hello raise! Record your married boss hitting on you... hello retirement!
  
• Don't tase me bro or I'll broadcast it to the Internets.
• Record all your (winning) arguments with your spouse so you can replay it over and over again.
• Yeah, let's face it, you're going to the beach aren't you?

Enjoy yourself and remember to use this responsibly!
