How to Make a Built in Camera on a Hat

Make a hat with a built-in camera to take surprise pictures of your friends. A hidden switch makes capturing any moment simple. Always adhere to local laws when using your camera ha

Instructions
1
Take the plastic cover off a 3-in-1 digital camera, but leave the lens in place. If the lens is held in place by the cover, save part of the case to position the lens at the proper length, and keep light out of the camera with a piece of aluminum foil. Disconnect the shutter button to expose the connection.

2
Strip both sides of two 4-foot sections of 30-gauge magnet wire. Solder one wire to each contact on the button.



Cut a hole in the baseball cap in an inconspicuous location like a seam or within the graphics. Make the hole big enough for the camera lens. Use a layer of hot glue to hold the hole open.

4
Glue the camera in place behind the hole with the hot glue gun. Make sure that the camera is right side up.

5
Run the wires from the shutter button around the inside of the hat band. Secure the wires in place with the hot glue gun. The wire will hang out the back of the hat. Use a Sharpie to color the wire so it blends with your hair.

6
Solder the far ends of the wires to a pressure switch.

7
Cover all electrical connections with dabs of hot glue. Test the camera.


Tips & Warnings
Purchase the pressure switch through a company that provides accessories for handicap people with accessibility issues. Position the pressure switch in your pocket or up your sleeve. Tape the extra wire out of sight.
