10 Cool Spy Gadgets

1. Motokata Bionic Ear Hearing Amplifier

Wish you could hear the conversation between your boss and the CEO? The Motokata Bionic Ear-Hearing Amplifier ($39.95) uses sound-magnification technology that lets you hear any conversation clearly and distinctly up to 20 feet away. Weighing around an ounce, it amplifies sounds up to 50 decibels and can be easily attached to your shirt pocket or belt. Attach the amplifier to the included stereo earphones to hear spoken words and control the volume.

2. Jakks Pacific EyeClops Night Vision

For the nocturnal spy, Jakks Pacific's EyeClops Night Vision goggles ($79.99) will let you see objects in total darkness. Gearlog's Brian Bennett tested the device in a dark room, and he was able to see people and objects pretty clearly. A knob on the right side activates an LED light, letting you see further into the dark. If the green-colored night vision starts giving you a headache, there's even a switch on the bottom of the right eye piece that toggles your view from green to black and white.

3. Computer Mouse Transmitter

Be careful what you say around this computer mouse. The Computer Mouse Transmitter houses an ultra-mini microphone and transmitter circuit, which can pick up sounds from up to approximately 32 feet away. For the rich spy, this sneaky mouse sells for £575 ($1,128 USD) from UK-based SpyCatcherOnline.

4. Vehicle Safeguard Video Recording Camera

How many times have you been driving on the road, only to witness someone running a red light or pulling right out in front of you? Catch bad drivers red-handed with the Vehicle Safeguard Video Recording Camera ($49.95). Attach the cradle to your vehicle's dashboard and place the recording unit inside the cradle. Set the recording angle in any direction you'd like, and insert an SD card up to 2GB of capacity to store the recordings. The camera measures 18.25 by 6.12 by 2.25 inches, weighs one pound, and operates on four AAA batteries.

5. Unshredder

Just because you've spent an hour shredding important documents doesn't mean that those shredded pieces of paper can't be put back together again. Unshredder, dubbed the first commercial document reconstruction tool in the world, is a computer program capable of reconstructing documents that have been strip-shred and cross-shred, and documents with torn pages. Instead of aligning each little shredded piece by hand, this Windows-based application automates the reassembly of documents through four simple steps: collate, segmentation, reconstruction, and report. The finished results can then be printed, e-mailed, or copied. Used by government agencies, police departments, lawyers, private investigators, and security agents, Unshredder is available with a monthly license for $90 or a yearly license starting at $950.

6. Ajoka Charger DVR

This isn't any ordinary AC adapter. That's because the Charger DVR from Ajoka has a built-in digital audio/video camera to record anything that happens while you're away from home or the office. Up to 66 hours of video can be recorded to the 2GB microSD card inside, and a built-in lithium ion battery keeps your DVR charged when not connected to the wall. It sells for $295 on Pimall.com.

7. BrickHouse Security Cell Phone Sim Card Spy

Has your loved one been acting a bit peculiar lately when he or she picks up the phone? It may be time to bring out the spy gear, with BrickHouse Security's Cell Phone Sim Card Spy ($149). This software and hardware solution lets you view, save, and edit files on a cell phone by removing the SIM card from a phone, placing it into the Cell Phone Spy reader, and connecting it to an open USB port on any computer. If you suspect that your lover is deleting files to destroy the evidence, you'll even be able to recover those deleted files—including photos and text messages—and view them right on your computer.

8. Ajoka Sunglasses DVR Camera

Aside from the atrocious company site, Ajoka's Sunglasses DVR Camera are what every James Bond wannabe should own. These polarized-lens sunglasses are capable of recording everything you see and hear at 30 frames per second via the built-in video recorder. They also feature a 1.3-megapixel color camera and 2GB of memory for up to 5 hours of video recording. Pick up a pair for $298.95 

9. StarChase
Pretty much any gadget with lasers is the ultimate in spy gear, which is why we like the new vehicular technology from StarChase. To help prevent dangerous police chases, StarChase developed a system that is capable of aiming a laser at the back of a vehicle and firing a projectile that contains a GPS receiver, wireless transmitter, and battery. This, in turn, tracks a vehicle's whereabouts. The data is then delivered via secure Internet connection to a dispatch center. There are more than 100,000 high-speed pursuits in the U.S. every year according to the company, but StarChase is hoping to reduce that with this safer and more effective way to catch criminals.

10. Interceptor Software with Nokia Phone

You can read someone's text messages and see who they've called simply by using a Nokia phone. Choose any of the Nokia models currently supported (including the N70, E61, and 6681), give it to your target to use as a normal phone, and you're on the road to espionage. The Interceptor Software with Nokia Phone will alert you whenever a phone call is made or received, send you a copy of any text message sent or received, and let you hear room conversations from anywhere in the world through the phone's microphone, as long as you dial the Nokia phone from a pre-defined number. Get out the charge card though, because this spy kit sells for a whopping £1468 ($2,880 USD).
