Night of the Living Camball

May 22nd, 2013

Night of the Living Camball

The SecureShot Micro Eyes SD Card Recording Ball Camera CamBall arises from the dead, like a zombie in a Hollywood B movie, and we were able to buy the entire lot of 30 that became available. The Camball was one of our very first products and has outsold everything else in the store since its introduction.

If you did not know, the Camball is a tiny, fully functioning, self contained mini spy camera that records to memory cards. It can record about 90 minutes of straight video, and up to a few days in motion activation mode. Though in reality, any changes in the picture like curtains, cats, fans, or even the sun going in & out of clouds will trigger motion.

And some of our best testimonials are from actual Camball users:

“Recently, we purchased the Camball sg-31 to monitor our summer cabin. We had some activity going on and needed to monitor the situation. The Camball was the solution to our problem. This little device worked extremely well. We also purchased the surveillance pack and we did not have to worry about the battery running down on the Camball.

Chris from eyespypro.com answered our questions very quickly. Chris was always available and easy to reach both before and after the purchase. It is so nice to call a company and be able to talk with a real person and not get an automated service. Chris has gone above and beyond with our purchase. Thanks again. Wonderful little device.

Anonymous, MN

UPDATE: On 8.23.10 we received this update:

We purchased the Camball from you and have been monitoring our lake cabin. as we believe a nasty neighbor was trespassing on our property when we were not around. Well, guess what!! The Camball caught him, driving his van, bold as you please around our U shaped driveway!! Now we have the proof. We burned it to a DVD, however, the DVD does not play in our DVD player. How can I present the evidence to the authorities? I want to press charges against this guy with the proof. We are using the computer to review our files and find the KMP player compatible with Camballs files. Any help is appreciated. Also is there anyway to zoom in on a face or person in a picture as 2 other people are utilizing our property when we are not around and are unable to see them clearly d/t distance. Camball was a success. We can not be more pleased with the little device as this guy is weird and confirmed all along what he is up to!!”

There you have it, the little Camball caught the creep that was bothering these nice people, so it should be able to solve your video surveillance problems.

SecureShot Micro Eyes SD Card Recording Ball Camera CamBall

If you think the Camball is not working properly, put it in a dark closet and it will take a self test every hour to confirm its functioning properly. It’s super easy to use, we even made this YouTube video to show you.

And this video shows how to set up motion activation:

There are also 4 accessory packs:

The MicroEye CamBall Surveillance Pack, which will let you hook the Camball to a 110V outlet to override the battery
The MicroEye CamBall Sports Pack, which has a bunch of brackets and weatherproof cover to put on a boat, bike, or motorcycle
The MicroEye CamBall Vehicle Pack, that lets you hook it up to a hot lighter in your car and power it all night to catch the punk scratching your car
The LCD Monitor For CamBall if you want to watch your video and there are no PC’s around

When you are done, you can either remove the SD card, put in a SD card reader and watch on a Mac or PC, or plug in the USB cable to your Mac or PC and watch it there. The only thing you can’t do on a Mac is set it up, unless you have Parallels or other virtual machine to run Windows.

We did make a quick video on how to adjust the settings, which we will post later today on YouTube.

There is only 30, so if you have a video surveillance problem, and you are thinking of putting a little camera up on a shelf or other out of the way place, the Camball could be just the ticket. Questions? Call us @ the # below, otherwise we should get these in early next week and will start shipping then…

How Visible Is The Night Vision Illuminators On The Yard Guard Fake Rock Hidden Camera With DVR And PIR Motion Sensor?

May 15th, 2013

Someone just asked us a great question: “How visible are the night vision infrared Illuminators on the Yard Guard Fake Rock Hidden Camera With DVR And PIR Motion Sensor?”

We have tested the our fake rock hidden camera at night, and unless you are right in front of it, within an arms length, you won’t see diddly squat.

If you are right up on it, looking at it, it glows very slightly red, hardly noticeable. However, who is going to get on hands and knees and look at an innocent rock???

Yard Guard Fake Rock Hidden Camera With DVR And PIR Motion Sensor

And that’s the way all of our SecureShot battery powered hidden camera with DVR work; we use high frequency 940NM Illuminators that are for the most part, invisible unless you are within inches. We take one of those speaker rocks you see by a pool, bondo over the hole, and spray it a granite appearance. If you live where there is no granite, just get some local mud and slather it all over this puppy, just don’t cover the camera or IR’s!!!

If you need the very best covert hidden cameras that record to memory cards, give us a call to help you choose the best model. We can get them in most any shape and size consumer item indoors or outdoors.

Questions? We got answers! Just call us by picking up the phone, and using your index finger to dial out 1-877-3-EYESPY (1-877-339-3779).

Coffee Travel Mug Hidden Camera Controls And Recording Data

April 23rd, 2013

We are putting one of the coolest spy cameras we have seen in years, the Coffee Travel Mug Hidden Camera through it’s paces, and wanted to show you the controls, and recording data so far.

Everything in this covert camera is contained in the top piece, the camera, battery SD card slot, USB port, and controls. It’s not waterproof, so don’t put any coffee in it, though it gives you a spare lid, so you can carry coffee around in it, then when finished, pop on the camera top, push one button for a second, and set it down & you are video recording. How easy is that?

The camera lens is on the edge of the cap with the camera in it.

All you need to do is decide if you want HD video, or VGA video. In our tests with an 8GB micro SD card, we were able to record 2:43 minutes of video in the HD mode. We are out of 16gb and not sure if it will record longer until those chips come in. For now, it breaks up the video into 30 minute chunks, exactly 1.56GB per file, so there were 5x of those, , and a 13 minute clip that was 7 or 8GB.

UPDATE: Using a 8GB card on VGA mode, 640 x 480 @ 30 fps, we recorded 3 hours & 43 minutes of super clear video. File sizes are smaller, we fit 7x 30 minutes files that are 826MB ea, and a 13 minute clip that was 365MB. Since there is 1.81GB available, the battery gave out before we filled up the card. Final test will be with a 16GB card on HD video to see if we get that similar amount of time. I’ll post video clips on the product page.

Here are the controls.

One thing, you have to format the memory card first, you can’t just stick it in & record; nothing will show up. You hold the Format button down for 2 seconds, and with another finger, hold down the On/Off button until the blue light comes on, then release the Format button, and still holding down the On/Off button until the Red Record light starts blink, release the On/Off button. If the blue light is solid, it took, and if it blinks and goes off, its a bad memory card. We could not format one card, and we tried another and it took no problem.

So now you can leave this innocent looking coffee travel mug on your desk, or even inside your car, and for up to 3 hours, you can record video, and find the punk that is stealing from you or damaging your property.

Call us for more info & remember don’t put any coffee in it when recording!

Ding Dong The Camball’s Dead

April 13th, 2013

Ding Dong The Camball’s Dead

I found out before we left earlier this week for ISC West, our industries Video Surveillance trade show, that our most popular product of all time, the Camball from Starnex is out of stock, and unless we order 3,500 units, they won’t be manufacturing them anymore. Drat!

So I am thinking when I get back, I’ll do a blog post and call it, “Ding Dong, the Camball’s Dead,” and what happens while I am gone, those Brits propel the song, “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead,” from the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz” to the top of their music charts. They upped me! Double Drat!!

In case you have lived under a rock or a cave your whole life, its a song the Munchkins sing when the evil, oppressive Witch dies in the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.”

Only now, the Brits are doing it for Margaret Thatcher, the woman who tried to save the Commonwealth from the situation Greece/Italy/Blah/Blah/Blah find themselves in with an unsustainable Nanny state that makes it more worthwhile to get government handouts, instead of getting off your lazy butt and doing something productive with yourself, not flying across Europe to cause trouble at sporting events.

The amazing part is there are people who will protest her funeral, some of them were not even born when Thatcher is in office, cursing her, because she took away their Government handouts, instead of taking an ounce of initiative, and doing something with themselves besides whining like Primrose Everdeen from the Hunger Games.

The good news is that there might be inventory of Korean versions that could be modified for the US market with just some software/firmware updates & we could see them again. Though that’s a holder breather.

That leads to another thought; I am also not sure of the future of Starnex. They had a 4 channel mobile DVR when we first started 6 years ago that was one of the few out there, and recorded to Sony memory sticks. Tons were sold to South American countries, though they only recorded @ 7.5fps, and for analog video, it looks like the people are doing the Robot, its so jerky. They don’t make that anymore.

Then, their advanced for the time pocket DVR, which had the feature to be networked on a LAN, went the way of the Dodo bird. They briefly tried a pen video recorder that never made it past R&D. They made the CCam, a 2 camera video recorder for capturing how you drive with front and back cameras and GPS logging, though that is dead also, no more will be imported & we are out.

Then they tried to join the sports camera wave, and released the iSaw, a waterproof sports camera we highlighted on our blog, and only sold one. That’s a super competitive market, and unless you have tens of thousands if not hundreds to advertise, you will get trampled in that shuffle.

So maybe the song should be, Ding Dong Starnex is Dead.

The good news is there are still lots of other choices for a small, easy to hide spy camera over here…

I’ll keep you posted…

The Covert Cellular Solar Powered Camera For Remote Video Recording

April 10th, 2013

We put up another GSM based Covert Cellular Solar Powered Camera for recording surveillance video in hard to reach places. This 2 megapixel still camera allows you to put a tiny black box in the middle of nowhere, with a 45 day battery or solar power, and upload crystal clear photos to your own cloud based storage. You can be notified of any movement with a picture sent to your mobile phone, so you know if someone has entered your property.

Covert Cellular Solar Powered Camera

So many people call us looking for a way to watch a back gate, or other remote location that has no electricity or lights. So we solved the problem with a turn-key solution that lets you set up the little 3″ x 3″ x 2″ camera in an out of the way place. Its 2 megapixel still camera will take great shots up to every 5 seconds, when motion is detected within 35 feet, or a schedule as frequent as every 15 minutes.

The body head activated PIR sensor will only record when there is a human nearby, unless you just set it for scheduled recordings, then it will do both.

The best part is you can either put a solar panel up to a couple hundred feet away, or hook it up to a 45 day battery for 1 1/2 months of continual operation. We also set you up with a private online portal where you can view your pictures depending on the day & time, take a live shot, save a picture, or send one to a different email address or smart phone.

We had one person call to tell me some sickos were actually dumping cow carcases on an old ladies farm, far from where she could see it. That’s pretty much the weirdest thing we have heard in 6 years, so I am sure your problems are no where near that bad.

Or maybe I am wrong? If you are tired of your people stealing your stuff, damaging your property, or being complete jerks, then call us at the toll free number below for more info on the Covert Cellular Solar Powered Camera.

The GSM Yacht Cameras Protects Your Watercraft

April 10th, 2013

We just added the GSM Yacht Camera, the perfect cellular based camera for anyone who owns an expensive watercraft, and wants to catch anyone trying to vandalize their vessel.

Cellular Based Watercraft Camera
EyeSpyPro GSM Yacht Camera

This small, waterproof boat camera runs of the vessels 12v system, and can be mounted with screws, or suction cups, so you can position it in different locations, depending if you want to watch someone stealing your fuel, watch your bilge pump, or make sure your cleaning or maintenance crews are getting the job done, when they are suppose to.

As soon as motion is detected, it takes a picture of the activities, uploads it to the cloud, and can notify you with a picture or text message so you know if anyone is damaging your boat or yacht. And it has 2 cameras, 1 for the day, and the other optimized for night recording with the built in IR Illuminators!

The GSM Yacht Camera comes out of the box ready to go on either AT&T or Verizon networks; just tell us which has better coverage where you are docking your boat. Just plug it in, and you are up and running. You can set it to take a photo as frequently as every 5 seconds when it detects motion, or as often as every 15 minutes, or up to 1x per day on a schedule. You control it all from your own private, online cloud based portal.

See what’s happening to your watercraft, 24/7!

The portal shown above lets you set up how frequent to take the pics, as well as letting you have a live view. It’s not a video camera, rather its’ a high quality megapixel camera that is a fraction of the cost of a video camera. You can also download a picture, or send one to another phone. We do all the storage and phone connections for you. You download pics, forward pics, and review any time and day by clicking on a date in the lower left corner.

If you are tired of your people stealing your fuel, or damaging your watercraft, then call us at the toll free number below for more info on the GSM Yacht Camera.

EyeSpyPro Swims With A Shark

April 2nd, 2013

Recently, I had a chance to swim with a real live shark at Infusioncon 2013, the annual small business success seminar. Daymond John was the keynote speaker, and man, what a great story he has. While working at Red Lobster, he became involved with the emerging Hip-Hop movement as a roadie and sandwich hustler, who one day realized this was his life. He started selling his own products, as it was cheaper than buying them, people liked them, and he never looked back.

He got his first large order, and to pay for it, his mother mortgaged their house, sold all furniture to put in industrial sewing machines, and started his brand FuBu out of his apartment.

The best part was when he said at first, he was going to call it BuFu, By Us, For Us, though when it was revealed that is a term a gay man might use, he quickly changed it to FuBu… Anyway, since I knew he would be here, I had his book, The Brand Within, and was right at the front of the line for my chance to get my picture taken. I was so excited, as I love to meet the celebrities that speak at the events I attend.

So I get up there and hand my phone to one of the Infusionsoft staff and let her capture the moment. I go and check the photo, and here it is…

Daymond John Blurry
What the H???

Who taught this girl how to take a pic? That was the worst picture I had ever saw. I was starting to get upset, and tried to get another picture, so I got back in line and right in front of me they cut it off, no more pictures, the shark has to swim away. I asked, begged, and pleaded with some big guys blocking my access to getting my prized picture, and they would not budge. No matter how much I asked, it was a big fat NO, go away!

Saddened, I sulked off, dissipating any madness, and realizing my dream of getting a clear picture with a live Shark was over.

However, I remembered I saw a professional photographer right next to the girl who took the pic, and I tried to find him. For the next two days, he was as elusive as a Sasquatch in Phoenix, i just could not find the person who took the pic. I contacted Infusionsoft, and found my account rep, and asked him, where are the pictures?

He did some work, and got me in touch with Adam at Acme Photography, a commercial photographer in Phoenix who recorded the event. We dug a little, and we found the link to all the Daymond John book signing pictures here from Infusioncon 2013.

And ladies and gents, here is EyeSpyPro meeting a real live shark, in living color;

Daymond John and Chris Winkler
Beautiful!

The show was incredible, over 2000 small business owners there to learn how we too can grow to a $300MM+++ company. Thanks to everyone for such a great event, and I look forward to next year downtown Phoenix, my old stomping grounds in the mid to late 80′s…

Privacy Burglars Can’t Crack The Cell Phone Safe

February 6th, 2013

We have added a ton of Telephone Security products this week, and one of my favorites is the Cell Phone Safe. If you have a smart phone, there are ways for people to either intercept your calls, or turn on the microphone when you are not using it, allowing someone to listen to your private conversations. Wonderful!

We had a client call us last year and they told me that it seems all their conversations are being listened to by someone else. Someone knew when they were leaving, they new specific events that no one should know, and it was like someone was listening on the other line, though on a mobile phone, there is no other line. The Cell Phone Safe was not around last year and I told him to erase his phone and keep Bluetooth off. If you value your privacy like this client does, the Cell Phone Safe allows you to detect any illegal activity on your iPhone or Android phone.

Cell Phone Safe

The simple concept behind the Cell Phone Safe is to create electronic interference around the microphone area, whenever the phone is being accessed remotely through Bluetooth hacks, or if spy-ware is installed on the phone. When a smart phone is sending or receiving signals, and you are not using it, the Cell Phone Safe detects those invisible signals, and turns on the interference in the box, rendering the microphone useless for listening to your private conversations.

A low-tech solution to a high-tech problem. If you value your privacy, or think your smart phone is being hijacked, the Cell Phone Safe might be worth a 2nd look. Questions? Give us a ring @ the # below.

Only The SleuthGear Recover It Computer Forensic Data Recover Stick Works With iOS 6

December 19th, 2012

The SleuthGear Recover It Computer Forensic Data Recover Stick is the only telephone security product on the market that will recover deleted text messages or Internet history on the new iPhone iOS 6 platform. None of the competitors can say this, they all work with iOS5, and not iOS 6.

If you have upgraded your iPhone or iPad to iOS6, then the Recover It will forensicly recover over 25 different types of files, and works with Android, Blackberry, or Windows smart phones as well.

SleuthGear Recover It Computer Forensic Data Recover Stick

The Recover It Computer Forensic Data Stick works on most devices with flash memory, and will recover deleted data, even if put in the recycle bin and emptied. As long as the data is not overwritten with new data, its still there.

So you think your daughter is chatting with a grown man pretending to be a child, you can view all chats she is having with him, and find out if she is sending compromising pictures of her also. It also lets you know if your employees, son, or husband has been visiting adult sites, and can actually sniff our pornograpic images on the device by looking for patters of exposed flesh.
