I’ve been reviewing spy kit for a long time now, and there have been some massive leaps in what the technology is now capable of. There are often one or two features of a spy camera that impresses me, such as the very well concealed spy pen I recently reviewed. (more…)
Pakatak have been working hard on their new spy cameras recently, and I have great delight in telling you about their new video recording spy pen. This slightly thicker than normal pen has a built in spy camera that is capable of recording video and audio to the internal storage device at a resolution of 352 x 288 pixels. And what’s more, the spy pen actually works as a normal pen too! (more…)
In most cases, the spy glasses on the market were awkward and almost anyone could tell that your sunglasses were not just sunglasses due to the obvious hardware being used to film. This wireless camera sunglasses is a nice change in that regard. (more…)
Here is a very interesting article that suggests businesses of all sizes are resorting to using all sorts of surveillance technology to help with security of their busineses.

What is the big deal with a flying camera? Well, for the military, law enforcement, search and rescue teams, surveying and engineering companies, it means they can observe trouble spots without putting anyone at risk. (more…)

The ability to fully monitor and record a designated area through a series of cameras and a control system can provide you with a significant amount of flexibility. That is of course, if you are able to get in front of the monitoring unit to view what’s happening live or have the time spend viewing the recordings that your CCTV has made.
More advanced CCTV systems allow the user to either log in through their computer and view the live video or recordings. While this is definitely an improvement, accessing a WiFi point or using a mobile network to connect with your laptop is not exactly the most discrete option available. Plus, you’ll still have to dedicate the same amount of time to monitoring it or reviewing the video. (more…)
Researchers in the US claim to be able to develop a device that is able to eavesdrop on mobile phone conversations by hacking into GSM networks, for a cost of mere $1,000. Previous attempts to develop such a device have cost upwards of $100,000.
The 64-bit A5/1 Network Encryption used on GSM networks has been cracked for almost a decade now, but after the developments that occurred at this year’s 2008 Black Hat Conference in Washington D.C., the technology is that much closer to being developed. (more…)
