Spy Camera Glasses
How to choose spy camera glasses
Sunglasses or clear lenses
Tinted frames suit driving, walking and working outside, and look unremarkable in daylight. Clear or lightly tinted frames work indoors and in meetings, where sunglasses would stand out. If you need one pair for both, look for models with interchangeable lenses.
Resolution and battery
The camera moves with your head, so footage is less stable than a fixed camera and higher resolution gives you more usable detail when you review it. The lens sits in the bridge, so it records exactly what you are looking at. Battery is limited by the size of the frame: expect about 30 minutes to two hours of continuous video, depending on the model.

Common questions
Do they record audio?
Most do, through a small microphone in the frame. Recording private conversations between other people is generally not allowed, and the rules for your own conversations differ by state and territory.
Can I fit prescription lenses?
None of the frames here are sold as prescription compatible, so contact lenses are the practical option if you need a prescription.
How do I get the video off?
The frames charge and connect over USB and appear as a drive on a computer; on models with a microSD card, the card also slots into a reader.
Is it legal to record with a camera I am wearing in Australia? Australian law
Yes, in public places and in your own dealings with people. Surveillance devices laws differ by state and territory: filming people where they expect privacy, such as a bathroom, a bedroom or a changing room, is not allowed, and recording private conversations you are not part of is generally not allowed either. If you wear it for work, people should know they are being recorded.
