One of the many reasons we love spy movies has nothing to do with the villains our heroes fight or the damsels in distress they save — it's the gadgets they use during their adventures. Everyone from James Bond to Batman seems to have an arsenal of high-tech gear that allows them to get the information they need to save the world, or at least take down the bad guy once and for all.

In Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman," the Joker whimsically asks, "WHERE does he get those wonderful toys?" In 2017, the answer is clear: He probably got them online.

Clear HD Video Glasses

You pass so many people on the street with glasses each day, you probably don't even think about it anymore. If someone in your life suddenly showed up with a new pair of specs, you likely wouldn't think twice about it — you certainly wouldn't assume they were secretly recording your every move. Yet this is precisely why the Clear HD Video Glasses are so amazing — their brilliance is in their simplicity.

A 720p HD camera is hidden in a pair of eyeglasses, with stop/start one-touch recording. With an 8GB internal memory card and 90 minutes of battery life, this is one spy gadget that will prove its worth again and again each day.

The Lighter Spy Cam

Lighters are another one of those devices in life that are so ubiquitous that you probably don't think twice when you see one. This cool spy device isn't just a normal lighter — it also includes an HD video camera inside. It features one-touch recording, a microphone, space for an SD card and even a hidden USB port connection to transfer your footage to your computer!

The 80,000-Volt Electric Briefcase

If this briefcase-with-a-deadly-secret looks familiar, it should — James Bond used a case of his own with basically the same concept in the classic film "From Russia With Love." If you're carrying around a set of important personal documents or other items that you don't want to fall into the wrong hands under any circumstances, this briefcase will serve you well. If someone enters the wrong combination, they'll get quite the jolt that they won't soon forget!

HD Spy Watch With Night Vision

This is another one of those spy gadgets that would be right at home in a Bond film, yet it's available for you to order right now. On the surface, it's a modern, stylish watch — the type that would look great on your wrist at your next holiday party. Underneath, however, it's a 1080p HD camera that can capture crystal-clear video — even in total darkness. With a two-hour battery life, it stores up to one hour of HD video and is even water-resistant, too.

The Cellular Jammer

How many times have you been watching a movie when a main character got trapped or kidnapped, and you thought, "Why don't they just take out their cell phone and call the police?! That would solve all of their problems!" Then the character DOES, only to find that they have no service — their cell is being jammed. This might sound like a cliche or a plot device, but it's actually much more real than you think. These cellular jammers scramble a cell signal, rendering any phones within a certain distance completely useless! This will come in handy the next time you're trying to stop that meddlesome Jason Bourne from ruining your next plot to take over the government.

Pen Document Scanners

Are you breaking into a supervillain's office, trying to get your hands on stolen documents, but are worried that they might immediately notice those documents are missing? Just take this handy document scanner with you. By scanning the camera in this pen along every line of text on a page, you can scan a full page of text in about eight seconds!
