Spy Review - Looking back at October
(No Ratings Yet)
For the October review, let’s start off with a spy camera jammer! The Camera and Wifi Jammer transmits on three frequencies, namely on 900MHz, 1.2GHz, and 2.4GHz. These frequencies are the most commonly used frequencies for transmitting spy cameras, not to mention wireless networks that use 2.4GHz. The jammer transmits 300mW of noise on each band which is enough to block the signal of cameras and wifi networks around you, up to a radius of 10 metres. However, the battery only lasts 45 minutes!
The Portable Document Scanner is something you associated with spy movies. Using this rather cool gadget you can scan a single A4 page in just 4 seconds! With 4MB of internal storage, you can scan up to 200 A4 document pages. With both monochrome and colour versions of the scanner, you could scan photographs and colour documents too.
The Portable Audio Jammer claims to interfere with microphones by generating random noise on a range of frequencies and different amplitudes. The idea is that the sound becomes impossible to filter out using computer software, and therefore offers a mask for important conversations going on in the room.
If you want to listen in on conversations from anywhere in the world, then this rather plain looking GSM Bug will do the trick. It essentially has a stripped down mobile phone circuit inside the box which will automatically answer and let you hear conversations going on around it when you dial it. It’s a low cost device, so it doesn’t feature voice activation, but it’s still cheap compared to most bugs!
There are tiny spy cameras, and then there’s the Tiny Spy Camera Recorder. This little device records video at 15 frames a second using the 3GP format. Although the camera claims to be high resolution, if its anything like video on a mobile phone, then the quality is really low. However, it does take small spy cameras to a new level!
We’ll finish off for the October review with something that’s a little bit fun, namely the Estes XB 39 EagleEye Spy Plane. The plane has a large wingspan of 55 inches and carries a small digital camera capable of taking up to 26 photographs. If you want to take a phone, you simply hit the button on the radio remote control. Great for spying on the neighbours!
