Spy Review

Here’s a review of the best things that I mentioned in May on Spy Review. You might have missed something exciting, so have a look to see what got reviewed! You can find all previous spy gadget reviews in the archives too!

My favourite device from May was the BlueTooth Watch which allows you to see who’s calling your mobile, but by looking at your watch! The device exploits the caller-id on your mobile, and will inform you of the caller or the sender of a text message.

For May’s hidden camera fix, I talked about a colour spy camera hidden in a pack of cigarettes. You can remove the camera from the box very easily, but it gives you a very portable spy camera unit that can be hidden in a range of objects. The rectangular box also makes it easier to mount the camera inside other flat-faced items.

On the hidden camera theme, it was announced on the news that an antique spy camera had been sold in auction for £21,000. The camera is hidden in a pocket watch and dates back to the 1880s.

If you want to track down wireless spy cameras, the wireless camera hunter is a sleek piece of kit that can quickly scan the frequencies typically used by spy cameras. It then receives any signals it finds and displays the video on the display. The unit very handily provides a video output so that you can record anything you receive too.

For those of you interested in the history of spy gear and gadgets, as well as spies during the wars, then you might like to visit The International Spy Museum in the US. You can learn about all of history’s spy masters and how they used the intelligence their spies gathered. Some of the spy masters include, Elizabeth I, George Washington, and Joseph Stalin.

That’s it for May. Look out for June’s monthly roundup too!
