Damn, paranoids and perverts sure have a ton of ways to spy on you these days, but putting a spy camera in a tissue box somehow seems creepier than most of the spy gadgets we feature here. Maybe because it looks extra innocent.

Looks are deceiving. Inside there is a camera that takes color footage during the day and black and white footage at night at a resolution of 720×480 at 30fps. It uses SD cards to store your footage, and can be programmed to activate automatically at a certain time.

When it comes to kooky and often overpriced gadgets, Hammacher Schlemmer is the place you want to shop. These are the same fine folks that bought worthwhile gadgets like the snowball blaster and the clear canoe.

The company’s latest product is one that lets you spy on the driving habits of your spouse, kids or employees. The Driving Activity Reporter is a small device that looks like a flash drive with a magnet on the back of the case. The magnet holds the device to the undercarriage of a car, under the seat or in any other metal location.

One of the boffins at Georgia Tech has found something easier then building a robot with spy gear built in. He has taken the path less traveled by implanting the devices directly into a living bug. (Gentlemen, we can rebuild him…) The idea is to make longer-living SpyBot insects by implanting sensors that can detect things like sounds or gases while the insects are still in their larval stages. Then, they simple do what nature commands and grow up into adulthood and around the micro-electronics. The result is a cyborg moth that looks like a normal moth.

The saying, “Just because I’m paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get me.” comes to mind. The next hurdle is figuring out just how to control these little critters. One idea is electrical stimulation, like remote control. Another is to project the scent of a female bug so the poor guy will chase after the phantom female with never any result.

The folks at Camero have developed a device that can “see” through walls for military and law enforcement agencies during urban operations.

The Xaver 800 uses a novel and patented approach by employing ultra-wideband (UWB) RF signals to create 3D images of people and other objects that are otherwise hidden behind solid barriers such as a wall. The device can render the objects in 3D, and is able to see through wall-type barriers made of cement, plaster, brick, and wood.

The 3D images are returned in real-time and allow the objects being viewed to be watched from multiple angles, which could help in many situations to provide life-saving information. Camero states that the Xaver 800 is safe despite the signals it emits to view items through walls, and that the total energy that is actually transmitted is only a fraction of what is emitted …
