Being a spy is no laughing matter. I've you've ever wondered what it would be like to be a secret agent, you should look into buying these gadgets. It won't make you as suave as 007, but you will have a bunch of cool stuff to provide surveillance to your neighborhood. Gotta start somewhere.

A necessary purchase to be sure one of your foes has not tapped your house or place of employment. This looks like a smoke alarm, but it has a built-in bug detector, and if it senses a higher than normal radio signal, it will alert you by small flashing red light. The bad guys will never see this coming.

This lovely little gadget also provides a level of confidentiality by masking your phone conversations. It emits a "random masking sound which desensitizes any near-by microphone." So this way, even if your smoke alarm detector has somehow failed you, you'll never leak any information to the enemy.
Okay this thing is so cool, except I'm not completely sure how it works. From what I can gather, if you play a recording of a phone being dialed near this thing, it automatically figures out what number it was based on the tones of the keypad. Kick ass. You should definitely add this to your spy repitoire based on sheer coolness.

This is straight out of the Nanny Diaries. While a teddy bear cam doesn't immediately sound pertinent to an aspiring spy, it's all about the element of suprise. It looks like a cute unassuming teddy, but it's really a 24 hr. surveillance camera.


Technically I guess these guys fall under the same category as teddy, but with the trio, your home/office could be thoroughly steaked out. (Note: it's recommended to use the bear cam at home to avoid looking really strange.) Both of these blend into the background while catching any transgressions on film. Think your boss is embezzling money? Sick the tissue cam on his ass and get him fired.

When I first saw this, I found myself thinking, "Where would you put it?" Well it being less than an inch wide, the answer is pretty much anywhere. I'm not exactly sure what type of situation you would need this for, but nevertheless I think you should have it. An itty bitty camera...you can't pass that up.

This is pretty self-explanatory. It should also be self-explanatory why you need it. If you ever need to bust into a room, you can assess the type of situation you're getting yourself into ahead of time. Plus it's tiny, so it won't take up too much room in your spy bag.

I'm not sure how much this would help you with spying, but it is cool and could definitely help you become a better criminal. When you spray this miracle substance on your license plate, it makes it completely invisible to camera, even photo radar and red light cameras. This will make it impossible for your plate to be caught on camera and have a ticket issued to you! Awesome. And, supposedly, once you spray it, it works for life. It makes me wonder why this is spy equipment, and what bitter felon invented it, but eliminating the threat of tickets is exciting.

These may look like something John Lennon wore, but the way they work is sweet. They are actually mirrors, so instead of tailing suspects, you walk ahead of them and keep and eye on them that way. The site says "they work like a car rearview mirror." The only thing I wonder about is how you would watch where you were going. Ah well. I guess you'll just have to use your spidey sense for that and keep your eye on the prize.

Any good spy should have a piece of equipment with which they can eavesdrop on conversations going on 100 yards away. That is what this little beauty can do for you. On the site it lists bird watching and survival as two possible uses, which is a little puzzling, but let's face it, it's number one use is espionage. You're all over that.

Vocal evidence is pretty convincing...after all, the Smoking Gun eventually sunk Nixon, didn't it? Carry this innocent-looking pen around with you to record evidence that the crook will never see coming. You just push the pen clip down to start recording, and it stores up to seven hours worth of audio, just in case your suspect is especially long winded.

This is a staple to any spy's tool kit. With these bad boys, you'll never lose your target just because it's dark. You might want to steak out somewhere while using them, though. Because of the size, there's also a good chance people wouldn't lose sight of you.

I wouldn't jump right to must-have with this one, but it was so bizzare I had to include it. Um, so the Semen Spy (cute) it appears to be a glorified blacklight, kind of like what they use on MTV's Room Raiders. What really creeps me out about it is that the site suggests that parents can determine whether their children are sexually active by using this. Come on. Do you really want to know? And what the hell would you say to your kid after? ICK. I have no idea what a spy would do with this, but apparently it made the Spy Associates website, so there you have it. It's marked down... I wonder why?

This is necessary because will all these gadgets, you're going to need somewhere to keep them when you're out in the field. This coat will make you look like a normal, everyday person, and no one will be able to tell you have 40 hidden pockets to store your night vision goggles and reverse peep hole viewer.

I'm going to be honest, these are only included because they're funny and we have absolutely no idea when you would ever need them. But, on the other hand a spy has to be ready for anything. Even a person with really aggressive thumbs.

As a good spy, you should really have some good self-defense equipment on you. In case of attack, a second alternative to a roundhouse kick to the face (which almost always works) would be using your cell phone stun gun. A little zap, and you can put him in the thumb cuffs and take him downtown.

This is especially important if you are a hired spy as opposed to free lance espionage. The skin-toned ear bud goes inside your ear, and the transmitter looks like a wallet so they can't be detected and you can receive orders from headquarters while on the move. That way you can always stay informed on your target.

Every good spy needs to make their share of under cover calls and this is a great way to do it. This kit has a few different options: a robot voice, change a young man's voice to an old man's voice or a female to sound like a male voice, a child voice and a duck voice. The duck voice I'm assuming is best for pranks, but still a viable option. Either way, nobody will ever know it was you, which is the most important thing.

Since you're out hunting down criminals, chances are you won't have a ton of time to look out for your own stuff. This little gadget will help. It looks like a normal can of Pringles, and actually has chips in the top half, so no one will ever guess you hid your valuables in it while you're out on the job. It would work especially well for a car, because it doesn't look like anything worth breaking in for. Plus, it's just kind of cool.
