Best hidden device I ever sae was a IPhone case 3d printed that had camera built in and was replaced with original case without owner knowing.

[@matthewwheelock4319]

[@baltsosser]

The chemistry between you two is really good. Nice video guys.

Thanks!

Thanks I really try.

[@edwardknott2569]

[@GogiRegion]

My favorite technique for secretly recording someone is to have an obvious camera and a hidden camera. When I was a kid, we had monkey bread (a dessert made from cinnamon and sugar put over dough balls and pressed together) that wad sitting out after cooking to dry, and we said that nobody in the family was supposed to take any until it was time, and I decided to record it to check if someone tried to take some. I put a super obvious camera up where everyone could see, and a hidden camera on the other side of the room so that people who tried to sleight of hand to the obvious camera would be filmed clearly. At the end, I revealed at the family talent show we did that day my “surveillance skill,” where I played a time lapse that showed pretty much everyone trying to cover it up and failing miserably.

[@rickycastillo9659]

What kind of cameras?

[@flyingcow9491]

​@@rickycastillo9659any obvious security camera looking one. And any of the others in this video with the target and the first camera in the shot

[@basstothea.c.e1268]

As soon as i started watching this it immediately reminded me of Mythbusters and i think thats why its so enjoyable to watch but in its own way.

[@thewolfin]

They definitely have a Jamie/Adam vibe, except thankfully they're both a bit more Adam than Jamie. And I'm sure actually getting along helps.

[@MadsMeMMMBop]

Wolfin so the busters didn’t get along?

[@MadsMeMMMBop]

Maui Randall huh. Never knew

[@TheElaborinth8993]

This is why this is the best channel on KZbin. It's the fact that you keep bringing back jokes and situations or plots from old videos. That every video is not a one off, in it's own bubble, separate video.

[@TheStrangerous]

Glad you're enjoying that aspect! It makes it more fun for us, too.

[@Tired_Boie]

Jason Murphy you guys are great, the channel is, great keep up the great work you guys have such fun personality’s

[@GreanePin]

Jason Murphy it seriously took one video (the one on whisky) and I was hooked. On your channel that is. You guys are nailing it. Great content. Not a single boring video.

[@rlr5048]

"Oh you motherf&$ker, this whole thing was a setup?!?!" God I love this channel

[@TheFabler]

AAAAHhh

[@kd5nrh]

The equally sneaky one they didn't try is a key fob, that just looks like some random aftermarket fob you'd get when your 20 year old beater's factory ones die. Pinhole camera right in the edge, so you just set your keys casually on the table and as long as it's pointing the right way, you're recording everything. Used that one and the pen while working security, because people will get stupid when they don't think they're being recorded, and I swear some of them think they're the evil movie villain who can tell the guard exactly how they're going to lie and not get caught.

[@susternak]

I still think you guys should do a Modern Rogue Pirate Month; Intro to sailing, fencing with cutlass/saber, various rum/18th century drinks with Trevor, and either talking and singing like a pirate, or black powder firearms (including canon or swivel gun).

[@TheStrangerous]

[@icantthinkofausername2605]

I prefer the pen. Clip that onto your breast pocket and record all that you see or leave it inconspicuously on a desk

[@TheRealAlpha2]

I love the amount of verbal jujitsu Jason pulls with the set up. It's like he's just casually explaining the inner workings of a warp core. I actually had one of those pens, "Meh" camera, but a GREAT pen.

[@kevincelentano5142]

Two things: 1. Those Apex BOM cards from the mystery box are the best deck I've owned in years! They're capable of some mind blowing sleight of hand. They were my every day carry till the box got wet and ripped. definitely gonna order another deck from you guys. 2. this video was honestly one of my favorites and definitely some great gift ideas to come from this. Thanks guys!

[@ModernRogue]

thank you, and thank you!

This was the single best "sketch/improvised/whatever you call it" intro ever... we can only go higher now guys

[@beansegg7579]

Jason Murphy Did you put something in my home? Again?

[@connorfoxton6167]

While this is a fun and light hearted, it raises an excellent and serious point about surveillance. This stuff is readily available for the average person to buy, so imagine what governments/criminal gangs/all those kinds of groups potentially have access to. Not to mention the cyber aspect with data logging and all that jazz. Either way, great video guys. Keep it up. Also Google algorithms, show me more cool stuff like this channel, I know you're listening :P

[@ModernRogue]

Thanks!

[@gmsh3794]

Good protips to avoid/protect against that kind of stuff that I learned from a weird Tween Novel about a girl with pointy ears: set little canary traps all around your house. Bit of hair wrapped around your dresser drawer handles, dead bee on the windowsill, stuff like that.

[@Abdega]

Google algorithms, the most effective surveillance device ;)

[@Halsfield]

the NSA etc doesnt need to bug your house or have a "repair-man" come and plant recording devices because you've already done it for them. They can listen and watch you through your devices like your phone, laptop, etc cameras . They record your activity online and through cell-phone calls/texts. Anything with cameras or audio recorders built in that also connect to the internet. Smart-tvs, etc. Those damn google home and similar devices. Tape over your cameras on laptops etc or get those little camera-blocker clip-ons , but honestly its nearly impossible for them not to know stuff about you if they somehow suspected you of doing a crime worthy of their attention. The only way to stop that is to break up the NSA and they will never do that because its too useful of a tool for finding threats to national security (of course its used for more nefarious purposes too of course). The above video's devices are scary sure, but there have been pen cameras and tiny audio bugs available for decades . Its just now they can record longer and its easier to get the video off of them.

[@khzhak]

I have a lighter camera (the yellow and blue HDALTH one) that's noise activated, it goes three minutes each activation, so no truncating silence, and a motion activated (San Beweketto) water bottle camera. I like those, because leave them somewhere, they can record for days, because one stops when nothing moves, one stops when there's silence. It's a double whammy. I also got the lighter on Wish for less than ten bucks. The water bottle, $40 on Amazon.

they kinda did one on hacking the system where they crack cheap hotel safes. for decent/higher quality safes, not yet.

[@CelticRider84]

So the big question becomes, can we turn that USB charger into a cloning device whenever someone plugs their phone into it to charge it? I mean if you're gonna go that far, might as well go all the way.

[@TheStrangerous]

Whoa. That's .... that's a fascinating idea .

[@coolestto]

Definitely is possible, but difficult since you'd have to allow it access through a prompt on the phone.

[@skuzzyj]

coolestto555 Depends if the phone is on... If memory serves, you could sideload stuff back in the old days of android by pushing a file while the system reset. I think that's actually how I rooted my first Android phone?

[@AsitorCorporation]

How is it that The Modern Rogue manages to upload videos that I'm interested in, even specific stuff like Quarterstaffs which have been my favourite weapon for years - they just know! Definitely the best channel I watch.

[@TheStrangerous]

Glad you enjoyed it! We had a lot of fun.

[@Thylonicus]

This is the kind of episode I love. Informational in a more real-world setting, with plenty of the guys' banter, plus ditching more of the kayfabe that Bryce and Brandt don't exist or something. I like seeing their additions to the show and I'm glad Bryce's appearance was kept in, here.

[@toussaintross2963]

hey you rogues here is a video idea: "the forbidden library" or "that book collection that will get you on a government watch list" could include unedited, unabridged, unredacted, copies of the anarchist cook book and PiHKAL: a chemical love story ( pretty much a journal of experiences and experiments with psychoactive and hallucinogenic drugs as well as detailed notes on how to make and use them. written by Alexander and Ann Shulgin)!

who was dissing it? What gave you that impression?

[@SurpriseFox]

@1:25 "It's kind of anecdotal." It's really well studied, especially in the last 20 years. Here's a taste cognet.mit.edu/journal/10.1162/jocn_a_00979 I'm not "upset" but it is not correct to call it anecdotal.

I’ve actually had to buy one of these for a coworker who was suspicious that their neighbor/nanny was doing something untoward we’ll say. He asked me for help and I remembered this episode so I suggested the spy cams. He got 2 and fortunately his suspicions were wrong. The nanny wasn’t doing anything wrong which is good, but it provided him with piece of mind knowing his kids were safe.
