Fashion that matches modern decor

I built a lot of these but I don't know which ones have cameras in them, because I only put cameras in some of them and then I shuffled them all and mixed them all up. Most of the ones that don't have cameras in them still have 9 volt battery snaps at the back and still have the miniature lenses and microstrip antennas that can be seen through the plexiglass, darkly.
