Hidden Outlet Camera

have you ever had a great prank but no way to take a video without it being obvious?

this instructable will show you how to record a prank with the victim not seeing the camera

parts

1. an outlet (one that isn't installed
2. an outlet cover
3. a small thin phone (i used a blackberry)
4. the protective casing for the inside of an outlet

tools

1. a flat head screwdriver
2. phillips screwdriver
3. glue (or glue gun)
4. heavy duty scissors

take out the screws in the corners

then pry the plastic part on top off

cut off the plastic that is shown in the picture

glue the metal piece on to the plastic that you cut off

if your outlet had buttons glue them back in

cut off three 3 in long 1 in wide and a one 1 1/2 piece of plastic from the outlet protector

1. three 3 in by 1 in piece
2. 1 1/2 in by 1 in piece
3. 1 in by 1 in square
4. two 3/4 in by 1/2 in

glue each of the three in long pieces onto the top and sides of the outlet cover (this will make it look like a bad installation)

then glue the two 3/4 in by 1/2 in pieces to the top of the bracket (on either sides of the screw)

drill a hole in the middle of the 1 in by 1 in square (this will be how you hang it)

and glue it to the top of the two 3/4 in by 1/2 in pieces (make sure to also glue it to the plastic piece at the top)

get the 1 1/2 in by 1 in piece and bend it to a right angle an inch down the piece

position the phone so its camera is behind a hole and put the bent piece so it holds it in the same place and it (the bent piece)

now put it on camera mode and hang it by the hole in the 1 in by 1 in piece
