Trying to FIX a 99p SPY CAMERA from eBay
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 апр 2020
- Hi, in this video I attempt to repair a T189 Spy Camera Pen. It was purchased from eBay for 99p ($1.23) and it was listed as having no power.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks, Vince.
For how cheap the camera actually is the footage at the end isn't terribly bad. I had expected way worse.
You’ve really gone against the stream, cutting a trace on purpose instead of fixing one! An exceedingly rare maneuver!
Also, your son is a natural at painting landscapes! Go you, Ben!
"whats that blue light in your pocket?"
"Don't worry about it."
:D lol
The footage at the end was very 1970's ... I expected to see bigfoot in the woods as you were filming 👍
lol! I was going through the comments to see if anyone else noticed. It's the same image quality of every Bigfoot video on RUclips!
@@rickorr2181 I did exactly the same 🤣🤣
Hey Vince!
The cable you‘re looking for is used by many cameras! The type is EMC-5. There are lots of them on eBay!
Yeah, looks identical to the charge/data port on my JVC camera.
Yep, you are exactly correct.
I have a couple of these leads laying around. Maybe a charger too...
Yep, my old Fuji cameras have a connector which looks like that. It's a pain, don't use them any more because I can never find the one lead I've got to charge them all!
I've got one that looks like it for my xbox controller charger
Just spent the day running phone wires through my house, using your Mr Telephone videos as a guide. Now I finally have internet throughout the house. Spending the evening watching more of your videos 😊
Great video Vince and awesome painting Ben, keep up the good work xx
I'm just over 18 mins in, hooked, need popcorn and a stiff drink, go Vince GO. !!!!
Great fix. I loved watching your troubleshooting logic as you narrate. Amazing thatyou got the USB port hooked up correctly. Most impressive. Also for 99 pence, what a bargain. Novelty YES, but you can totally use that camera with very good quality video. Great video Vince. I love these small electronic fix projects.
Thanks for the content Vince, it's nice to have something to watch, and wow! That Spy pen is really good video and sound quality, take care mate and stay safe.
Your clearly getting better I love your videos
Ben is a blooming good artist!! He's going places in the future. Thanks Vince love your videos.
plot twist, it was spying on you throughout the whole repair 😱
Lol :D
Hi mate, Iv been watching your vids for a while now and enjoy your repairs. True what u say about how good it looks on the inside but not so good on the outside. If u know anyone who does 3d printing you could make a new one. And your own design. Great vids m8. Love your console repairs. I'm an electronics fan and enjoy all these kind of vids. Keep them coming buddy. 👍👍
Haven’t finished yet and I’m thoroughly entertained.
I was enjoying every second. Fun video.
Great job, the outdoor footage at the end reminds me of one of those hidden camera documentaries from life inside North Korea.
Frankenstein's port. I love it. Good video Vince.
that was the same quality as my dads sony camcorder from 1990, not bad. well done vince your getting seriously good.
Keep them coming bud hope you and your family are well and staying safe
The end was a double surprise. The resolution on such a clumsy looking thing and your son's painting! He should get to sell his stuff one day. It really is good!
" I'm ready for my close-up Mr DeMille "
WHAT? YOU'E BEEN FILMING ME THE ENTIRE TIME, FROM WHERE? 🤤😤
Nice work Vince.
Your son is so talented, props!
Brilliant video!
Hook up the bench power supply directly to the battery. Set for 4 volts @ 2.5 amps. You’ll be able to see charging voltage and current. You can tell if a battery is good too using that method. Always enjoy your videos. 😀
That's bloody amazing, for the kit you have size of lens ect.............great little spy cam.........nice job Vince
I've seen some reviews of these sort of spy cam's, Techmoan has done a few.
Surprisingly good image quality. Have few spycams myself from the early 2010's and most of them are really bad. They were cheap though, fun toys :)
Mate your soldering has come on big time well done mate :)
Nice hack, Vince! The video quality is not as bad as I expected, though it reminds me of those "convert your webcam to infrared" videos.
That extra pin got me thinking. It probably outputs a composite video signal, so connecting that pin to the center conductor of an RCA cable and the ground to its shield maybe you can view the output on a TV. I'd measure the output on the pin first, just to be safe, but I don't think it would damage the video port with 4V anyway.
Great video and again, nice circuit hacking!
The cable it uses is the one used on numerous cameras. It takes the EMC-5/EMC-6 cable. I had to get one a while back and it was $1.75 US on eBay.
But for the way you were attaching the micro USB, you could've extended it out a little and connected it with wires. It would've been much easier to match the pins to the contacts and it would also keep it's video out function for if you ever wanted to play around with that feature.
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth
vince you are my religion your bodge jobs are the best!! ❤️
That went so smooth, probably down to your level of experience, Vince :)
Hi Vice! I watch youre Videos a longe time and i‘m ist impressed! If you interesst, i have a PS4 that you can make a video with :) i have allready a replacement on order but i would love to see my old one run again! Sorry for my pour English, i‘m from Germany and go to school was not my favorite thing to do so 15 years ago 😅
Quality wise certainly better than some I have seen intresting fix
Excellent job =D
When you _want_ to short out neighboring pins with solder, flux is like your enemy. It tries so hard to make the solder behave it makes it _very_ difficult to short adjacent pads. Solder the ones you do not want to short out first, clean the flux off with IPA, let it dry and solder the pins you want to short out without flux. Solder for electronics usually has flux in it (flux core) but it burns off relatively quickly and makes it easier to bridge connections.
Sometimes, when there wasn't much to do at work, I'd cut a piece of solder with an x-acto knife and use the barrel of the knife as a rolling pin and squeeze out the flux from the solder from end to end. Instant fluxless solder! (Yes, boredom will do that to people) 😉
Nix fix! Thank you
Hi Vince, for desoldering that USB port try also low melt solder... it's really easy! I got it from NorthridgeFix website and works like a charm
Nice win!
Wow that video quality is better than all of the Bigfoot footage we have....
The video is better than I expected.....
Someone already beat me to it,but yeah, that was a fairly common camera connector. But I only know that from familiarity with cameras, I wouldn't expect most to know that off hand. And finding it by looking it up would be difficult as there is several connectors that look pretty similar. So just opening up a list of connectors would be a bit of a nightmare. Regardless, the cable would still cost a few bucks anyway, so it really doesn't matter unless you were planning on using it a lot or had something else to use it in. Good fix, in my opinion!
Edit: Yeah, it really looks like it has no IR filter. r the color balance is just wonky. But it really looks like there's no filter. Neat. And your boy's quite a good painter, btw. I'm no art critic, but what he had there was quite nice.
Is that the built in microphone? If so it sounds really good!
Jesus wept, your son is talented!
nice fix mate
spy camera that you have to discreetly hold down the power button for 3 seconds and a bright LED shines through your shirt lol. However, a fantastic fix. I think you should revisit this spy camera and install it into a wall or table clock. Maybe fit a motion sensor which turns it on and install it in a way that it records the postman or visitors.
That weird connector used to be a standard for digital cameras around the mid-to-late 2000s, to allow it to ditch having a mini USB port and a composite video connector. Quite interesting video though!
I love your purple trees.
yeah, when you said it wasnt fantastic i was expecting really really poor images, but its a lot better than i expected.
Well done
Vince, Isnt that the conector most point and shoot cameras use??
Lol vinces son just causally painting bob Ross paintings.
nice work
The quality is actually very good for a camera that small and cheap. That's more than adequate, especially when I expected it to look like an old flip-phone from 2001.
look like its recording in infrared .. maybe a filter has been removed / lost / dropped and not put back
Yeah, I've got a night vision security camera and it looks like that in the daylight (purple tint).
Common issue with cmos sensor. Ccd sensors shows real colours
that painting is brilliant, i can barely draw a stick man and im 21..... xD
Hi Vince. The port looks like Mini USB port like the one on the PS3 controllers. If you've got a PS3 lead around, you might be able to get it to connect up to you laptop. Stay safe and well.
Pretty good image and the mic is clear as anything.
"Yes Mr Bond, here is your gadgets, a micro spy camera, disguised as a pen, fortunately no one will ever suspect it" lol.
Lady, where's my spy camera?
Where's my spy camera?

That lead looks very much like some of the point and click digital camera leads you get in some of the nikon coolpix cameras from a few years back and those you can still get. i have a few of those cameras still myself and some im sure are like a mini firewire type lead others like a usb but not your standard shape of a micro or a mini usb .
I have one of those cables. Got it in 2014. Also, that looks like an iPod battery.
Imagine just buying a bunch of ipod batteries to use for some shitty spy cam
The footage looks like there is no IR-filtering - interesting ;-)
True! I'd put black coffee in a clear glass and see if it looks like water through the camera. My modified webcam (removed IR filter) does that.
Yea the cheap camera is probably designed to have a IR filter separately in front of it.
One of our cctv cameras was the same ,i guess to improve its night vision,your t shirt changed colour walking past from the camera before it and back on the one after it!
I think that may be a mini-usb port which is a bit narrower and thicker than the micro-usb. These were used in a lot of electronics before the micro-usb came out.
Educational for sure. But i miss the explanation about replacing the usb connector... What was wrong with it?
it was mini usb 2 at the end of the spy camera you get them a lot on 2in external hard drive cases, i got loads of them
When is Ben launching his RUclips painting channel?
Isn't that a mini usb b? Also connecting it to your tv will probably show a folder for the content inside of the sd card (basically an sd card to USB adapter).
The names Vince,my mate Vince.
Both the video and sound are good for that price point.
Looks like one of the older digital camera USB ports to me, very common cables a few years ago and cheap devices like this still use ports like this probably just to use up old stock and save newer USB port types for more expensive products.
Just like mobile phones many years back, nearly all digital cameras had their own proprietary cable before USB mini and USB micro came along to standardise it all.
If I had to guess it looks like it could be either the Casio or Olympus type port but go to Google Images and search "camera USB cable" and you might be able to work out what one it is.
Composite out is also possible using the data lines of USB, older cameras had similar cables using their proprietary port and more recently GoPro cameras used to support composite out over USB mini.
I'm really surprised this thing works with a 64GB card. Cheap devices (like this) and older devices (like old cameras) will usually only support a maximum of 32GB cards.
This is because 32GB and lower cards are SDHC and 64GB and above are SDXC.
SDXC devices are backwards compatible with SDHC cards but SDHC devices cannot read SDXC cards because of the difference in the file systems they use.
SDHC uses FAT32 and SDXC uses exFAT.
Only you could make a video like this actually interesting Vince. Amazing video thanks for keeping me entertained!
I doubt you will see this, but I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 digital camera that has what "looks" like that connector. I also bought an adapter 4 pack that had the connector that fit the camera as well even though the other 3 were standard ( USB D, micro and mini). Perhaps there was a camera standard?
This kind of thing is exactly when you could use an osciloscope to monitor the pins and identify which is which.
25:12 "I thought the image quality would be awful because ... tiny camera"
Me (when I saw the camera earlier) - Wow, that's a huge camera, that should produce a decent quality video, that must be why the device is so big. The OV2640 is a tiny camera, that one there is HUGE!
Does anyone know what charging cable is needed and whether this spycam downloads in 720p ?
In the words of Stewie Griffin victory shall be mine!
My mate vine that weird usb is actually used on some point and shoots camera like nikon or canon cameras but now it is stopped cause of type c
looks a lot better than the cheap ebay dash cams actually.
Turns out Vince lives on pandora. Or the camera has no IR filter.
If it lacks an IR filter, then this is *PERFECT* for visualizing the power of lasers in CD drives!
Oh wow, the AV quality is actually quite serviceable.
I hope this video doesn't self destruct once I click play.
It's funny, when I was a child it would've been me running around with a spy camera, filming my Dad painting.
Vince it's looks that that camera doesn't have IR filter. Maybe you could use it for short circuit find by heat. Try heat up knife and see if this camera pick up heat as IR radiation.
You know, it's not the worst camera out there, the sound is decent
what is model of this battery? if someone want to replace one? where to buy one?
Letting the battery leads touch had me getting nervous...
Same
Nice hack mate 😊
Well I’ll be damned.
And your son is a great painter too. 💯👍
The sound quality was pretty good
I'm trying to hook up my xbox one controller to my switch. can I do it without an adapter?

Hi VINCE! love you and subed a month ago
Haven't been this early in awhile.
No IR filter gives that beautiful pink purple hue to the foliage outside.
Pink tree leaves, means infrared blocking filter missing
And here's me thinking it was cherry blossom, and spring had arrived!!
is it becaus the battery was flat that you didnt short it when you unsolder it ? 8:53? becaus the 2 leads did come together
Hi. why did you not buy a new one and then you would have a chargeing cable
thats a great picture he was paiting
