UK Drivers Will Pay A Tax For Every Mile They Drive!

August 20, 2008 – 7:38 pm

In what could be the norm here in the USA, the motorists in the UK could have a black box attached to their car to record all the miles they drive so they can change them.

‘Spy-in-the-sky’ paves way for road pricing
Motorists are being warned they may face “pay as you drive” road taxes as ministers launch the first ever trials of a scheme that could see them charged for every mile they drive.

A prototype road-pricing device: the scheme involves a satellite tracking a vehicle’s movements. Motorists will then receive a bill for their time on the road.

The Telegraph can disclose that the Government is pushing ahead with plans for a national road-pricing scheme, including testing “spy in the sky” technology.

Eight areas of the country have been selected by ministers for secret pay-per-mile trials which will begin in 2010 and are expected to pave the way for tolls on motorways.

Motorists face paying up to £1.30 a mile during peak periods on the busiest roads.

I don’t understand why the UK is trying so hard to turn themselves into something right out of George Orwell’s scary book, 1984. While the people who live there tolerate this is beyond me.

Would that piss you off if they tried to pull that crap here in the USA? Comments?

Spy Cam @ Walmart Set Up To Capture Credit Card #’s

August 18, 2008 – 3:04 pm

In a brazen act of theft of personal information, some punk had the balls to put a taped up box with an antenna on a counter at a Walmart in Orlando, FL. Why is it that all the incredible crime and theft stories come from Florida???

Spy Cam In Wal-Mart Set To Beam Credit Card Numbers To Thieves
Camera In Place For Hour Before Being Noticed

A mysterious box with an antenna found hidden inside a Wal-Mart was a planted spy camera set up to beam customer credit card numbers to thieves in the parking lot, police said.

Officers evacuated the Wal-Mart store located on Turkey Lake Road near Sand Lake Road Thursday night after someone noticed the box wrapped in black tape near a counter.

The bomb squad was called to the store and no explosives were found.

When officers investigated the box, they found it contained a spy camera set to capture credit card numbers as people used them inside the business.

You think the morons could be a little more discrete, instead of putting up some box wrapped in electricians tape with an antenna sticking out of it??? They do get a nod for the sheer audacity of their scheme, and their technical ability to hook up a mini camera and a wireless transmitter and battery pack, though you think they could have used something a little more clever?

This just goes to show you that you need certain things with you when you go out in public. You need good self defense products like a keychain pepper spray to have with you to stop an attacker. You also need some type of hidden camera detector because you never know when someone is watching you.

Our favorite hidden camera detector is the LensFinder Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector. The LensFinder takes two hidden camera technologies and puts them into one small and easy to use device that will protect your privacy.

LensFinder Hidden Bug Detector

The LensFinder is small enough to keep in your pocket and combines the features of two different products so you don’t have to lug them around. The LensFinder is a great wireless camera or bug detector. Once you turn on the Lens Finder, it will scan the airwaves for hidden video cameras or wireless microphone bugs. Once one is detected, it will start vibrating and the lighted signal will go from 1 to 4 lights depending on where the source is, so you can zero in on what you are looking for.

Then, you can look for any hidden camera, wired or wireless through the camera lens scanning window. It shines 4 bright LED’s at what you are looking at (Don’t look at them or they will scorch your eyes!), and if there is a camera lens pointing at you, you will see the flashing LED’s which will give away it’s location.

With the Lens Finder, you can turn it on, and if there was a black box next to you filming your credit card numbers, it would vibrate like crazy and the led indicator ligths would go off. You will never reveal your personal information to a hidden camera.

Protect your privacy with the LensFinder RF Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector. Use this discount coupon code: MS9S7Q3TSV08 when you check out to receive a $20 discount that is good until this Friday, August 22nd at midnight.

Tweakers Steal Electrical Lines Before Security Cameras Can Video Them!

August 6, 2008 – 12:31 pm

I guess there are a lot of crystal meth heads in Sacramento, CA stealing miles of copper wire from schools, and anywhere else they can find it. This time they cut the wire before the video surveillance system caught them! Looks like they forgot to set up a battery powered back-up surveillance system…

Copper thieves cut power to school surveillance system, escape

As luck would have it, thieves stripping copper wires from Kingswood Elementary last weekend managed to cut the juice to the school’s surveillance system.

“Lucky for them,” lamented Robert Lewis, scheduling supervisor for San Juan Unified School District’s maintenance and operations department. “Not our luck.”

Left with no leads and a $3,500 bill, San Juan officials can only brace for the next in a series of copper thefts that has cost the district almost $150,000 in about a month.

At $3 a foot, the copper electrical wiring is an enticing commodity for thieves who have risked electrocution in the wee hours of the morning for their valuable loot. So far this summer, vandals have targeted five campuses.

El Camino High School was their first and most lucrative hit: 2,400 feet of copper that could have fetched up to $7,200 at scrap metal yards.

That job probably took about four hours and at least two people, given the weight of the metal, estimates Bob Davis, director of maintenance and operations for San Juan Unified. The theft cost the district $40,000 in replacement parts and labor, Davis said.

Kingswood was the latest theft, and the least damaging. Each of the four previous thefts cost the San Juan district at least $30,000.

Wow, with the cost of metals sky rocketing, that’s a pretty good haul for 4 hours work. However, those are staggering losses and you really need to dome something about it.

We have a back-up video surveillance solution for any business owner, school, church, or even concerned home owner. Augment (a fancy word for diversify, a fancy word for don’t put your eggs in one basket) your CCTV or IP Video surveillance system, and put up a back-up system that is not powered by electricity.

Something that can run day or night, with or without power. Something like the SecureShot Memo Cam Electrical Box Hidden Camera DVR.

SecureShot Memo Cam Electrical Box Hidden Camera DVR

For the price of 266 feet of copper wire, the SecureShot Memo Cam Electrical Box Hidden Camera DVR can save you tens of thousands of dollars to repair the thefts.

The SecureShot Memo Cam Electrical Box Hidden Camera DVR is a completely self contained 1 camera hidden video camera surveillance system that houses an camera and a DVR that records to internal SD cards, inside an innocent looking electrical box that sits on the side, silently watching your property.

Load up the long term battery packs, and arm the Memo Cam with the included RF remote control, you are set up to record video any time motion is detected, day or night for 4 full days. It records 640 X 480 High Resolution Video @ 10fps - Super sharp images aid in face recognition and video detail to give to Law Enforcement. You can even zoom in on playback to see details with great clarity.

Protect your business, church, school, or home with the SecureShot Memo Cam Electrical Box Hidden Camera DVR. Find more information over at our Spy & Surveillance Superstore; EyeSpyPro.com.

Madonna & A-Rod Caught By Sleuth Gear Recluse Hidden Camera

July 23, 2008 – 1:21 pm

It’s been reported a secret tape of Madonna and A-Rod is circulating on the Internet that was captured on a Sleuth Gear Recluse Hidden Camera. We are trying to track down a copy.

Though the big question really is, why? She is looking pretty haggard these days. If he dumped his hot wife for this witch, you have to wonder what was he smoking?

The Sleuth Gear Recluse Hidden Camera is a hidden camera and DVR combination that is hidden in a small black plastic box. The box blends in easily anywhere; you can put it on a shelf, under some books, or a counter. Put something on top and no one can tell this is a hidden camera that is recording their every move.

Sleuth Gear Recluse Hidden Camera

The Sleuth Gear Recluse Hidden Camera records video to SD Cards on an internal DVR. No wires, cables, or anything to let Madonna know her secret tryst was being recorded. It sets up quickly with the supplied remote control, and can be set to just record when motion is detected.

Do Public Surveillance Cameras Really Fight Crime?

July 22, 2008 – 5:47 pm

A sad story from San Francisco, after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on video surveillance cameras around the city, it’s been reported they are of such poor quality, nor do they have the budget to monitor them, so they sit there, like those plastic owls you put on your roof to scare away the crows.

Only this time, it’s punks on the street that are starting to discover those fake owls don’t do squat.

William Gantt sat in a wheelchair at 16th and Mission on Monday afternoon, almost right under one of the city’s 76 crime surveillance cameras. Gantt, 56, said he was in favor of the cameras in his neighborhood, but was surprised to hear that no one was watching the feed.

“I always thought they were hooked up to a police station and they could see what was going on,” Gantt said.

Nope. That would make too much sense.

No doubt about it, the current crime camera program has problems. The video is choppy, the cameras are immobile, they don’t pick up images well at night, and the process to view a tape is too complicated. No wonder the cameras hardly ever seem to catch anyone doing anything wrong. “Why don’t we just turn them off and sell them for scrap?” asked Police Commission President Theresa Sparks. “That would save some money.”

This is completely different from home video surveillance systems that can help you solve crime because you are the one watching them.

We found a really cool Outdoor Night Vision Camera with a build in DVR!

The Color Day Night IR Camera with Built-in DVR. The Color Day Night IR Camera is a fully contained SD Card recording camera. You power the camera and you can set it up to record only when motion is detected. The Color Day Night IR Camera with Built-in DVR will record all day & night, 24/7/365.

The Color Day Night IR Camera

If you don’t want to set up a computer or DVR, the Color Day Night IR Camera with Built-in DVR might be your next best choice. You do need to get to it to remove the internal SD card to view the video, however, having the SD card inside is a great idea to make it full self contained.

It uses a high quality 1/3 inch CCD camera, and can take up to a 2GB SD card that will record up to 5 hours of solid video. With the motion detection, it can record for hours. It’s fully weatherproof, self contained, and you can adjust the focal point of the video to meet your needs.

If you want a good self contained outdoor surveillance camera that can take a licking & keep on ticking, and not need electricity, check out the Color Day Night IR Camera @ our online store.
