Abstract: A simple method is presented, of converting a smartphone into a high quality portable wearable video/audio hidden camera. The conversion produces a camera with the typical for modern smartphones, very high resolution close to 20+ MP. The proposed method of smartphone conversion provides still another benefit: The estimated cost price of the additional new items needed for the conversion is totally less than $1.00 in mass production. As to the smartphone itself, it remains completely unchanged after the less-then-a-minute-long conversion process and can be returned to all its normal functions even quicker. This allows a user to avoid buying the second smartphone specially for conversion, that is, to have the camera in question almost “for free”, because these days virtually any adult already has a smartphone anyway.
