Are you someone who frets about the possibilty of being subject to audio or video surveillance when you are out and about? Well, a good way to make sure you are not under surveillance is to ensure there are no hidden cameras or listening devices in your vicinity. What you need is a detector for such devices. (more…)

A web cam is something many people use these days along with their computers for entertainment and to share video with relatives and friends in far away places. But this software turns an existing web cam into a surveillance tool. It can be used as a security camera and catch all the action when you are not around. It has special motion detector settings so that it starts recording when it finds some activity taking place. (more…)

If for any given reason you need to listen in on phone conversations, you can use this telephone splitter which will automatically transmit the conversation when one is going on. It looks like an ordinary splitter plug but the transmitter is what makes it a good surveillance equipment.

The kit comes disguised as a common dual modular adapter and nobody would even dream that it does more than that unless of course they are a surveillance specialist and know what to look for, which is unlikely to be the case with most people, though. It can transmit both sides of the conversation with crystal clarity and up to a range of ¼ mile on any FM receiver. (more…)

A thief is always careful not to leave any trace of their being there to avoid any suspicon pointed at them, but luckily for many victims of burglaries or even minor thefts, investigational science has advanced to a degree that makes it very difficult even for the most sophisticated of them to avoid leaving some clues.

In reality, an eye sees an image and the brain translates it into the object or whatever it is that you are viewing. A camera, too, functions in ways similar to the eye, except that it permanently records the view, whether it is a still photo or a video recording.

Rob Spence, a Canadian filmmaker, who lost his vision in one eye at a young age and now wears an artificial eye, is going ahead with plans to put a video camera into that eye. This has still not been designed and there are many hurdles in the way of the engineers who are working on making him a part cyborg. (more…)

The hand held metal detector comes with LED and audio alarms. Nowadays with all kinds of criminals and terrorists on the loose, using a metal detector has become the norm in some countries, especially in crowded places, whether it is a station, an airport, malls, theaters and even some large supermarkets. It can even be used on a shop floor, in factories and other sensitive sites. (more…)

If you work on sensitive documents, you are a covert operative or you just want to be more secure with your baggage, then the fingerprint luggage is just what you want. Nobody can open it except the person or people whose fingerprints are stored in the bag.

The bag is fitted with biometric sensor equipment. You have to place your finger on a ceramic semi-conductor scanning window and it can scan fingerprint of two administrators and six users. Not only the loops and whorls, but also the thickness is scanned, so it is virtually impossible for any one other than the person whose fingerprint matches to open the bag. (more…)

The shoe phone is not a phone shaped like a shoe, but a small mopbile phone embedded under the shoe. Can it be used for covert operations? Probably not for any high end surveillance, but the possibility always exists. If you are in situation where you have to completely visible and not carrying a cell phone, and there is little or no chance that your shoes are not going to be checked, then you can probably find a use for it.
