Purse Field Surveillance Camera For The Lady PI’s

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Most of our hidden field surveillance digital video recorders are in big manly products like pens and watches, and we realized we don’t have much for the ladies… Introducing the Organizer Hidden Camera and DVR Portable Field Surveillance Kit.

Well we found a fully self contained organizer/purse, that has an internal battery, color camera, microphone and digital video recorder all inside an innocent looking device you would normally walk around with. While many people don’t carry organizers, many do, and this will work for a man or women.

Organizer Hidden Camera and DVR Portable Field Surveillance Kit

This works great for trade shows, rallies, protests, or any place you want to film people without drawing attention by walking around holding a pen or pointing your watch at people.

The videos are clear 355 x 280 AVI files. The sound is decent, though I have no idea where the mic is. It won’t work on a Mac, PC only, and they upload with a hidden USB cable.

The Organizer Hidden Camera and DVR Portable Field Surveillance Kit comes with a wireless remote control, and a 110v adapter for the USB plug, or you can charge it through the USB.

Charge it up for 5 hours on the initial charge, and when you are ready to perform your field surveillance, just casually unzip one size and flick the switch to turn it on. A red light will appear near the handle, letting you know it’s in stand-by mode.

Zip it shut, and push the button on the remote. The light will turn green, indicating it’s recording. Hold the organizer like you normally would, and you are in business. Turn it off by pushing the button again and going back to stand-by mode. You can start and stop recording whenever you like, and when you are done, turn it off with the switch inside.

The other compartment is open for anything you want to put in, pens, business cards, etc. For more information on the Organizer Hidden Camera and DVR Portable Field Surveillance Kit, visit our online Spy & Surveillance SuperStore

Who else can use one of these???

Bye Bye JG Ballard

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Sadly I just read about the passing of JG Ballard on the notes from the ubiquitous surveillance society blog.

Along with fellow ‘new wave’ science fiction writers like Brian Aldiss and Michael Moorcock, Ballard revolutionised the way British people saw ourselves, our present and our futures. He recognised that the real danger to society was not some distant dystopia, but a current and ongoing nightmare of consumer-driven ennui, a lethargic cultureless space of casual selfishness and lost ideals. Anticipating academics like Baudrillard and Marc Auge by some years, he saw the future in what Nairn called ’subtopia’: suburbs, industrial ruins, traffic islands, gated communities. He once said that the airport departure lounge was the apotheosis of western civilisation and its ultimate destination.

While I have not read every Ballard book, I have read a few and one of my most favorite is High Rise, which I have heard might be a movie one day. Imagine living in a high rise as civilization degenerates, and the building turns into a society of sorts with the rich living at the top, the middle class in the middle, and the lower class at the bottom. It’s been 20 years since I read it and I have to pull it out again.

Empire of the Sun was a good movie set in Japan during the war, and Crash was from 1996, though I think that’s the one with Robert Blake that Eraserhead made?

I searched Blockbuster for The Atrocity Exhibition & Low Flying Aircraft and they were no where to be found. Maybe more of his books will be made to film. It’s estimated he wrote 40,000,000 words, which is a lot of writing.

JG, we will miss you…

New Video On The LensFinder RF Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector

Monday, April 6th, 2009

We put up a new video on YouTube for the LensFinder RF Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector.

The LensFinder is the only dual mode hidden camera and hidden audio bug detector. 1 part will find any wireless audio bug that could be planted in a room. We can get them from Asia, but we can’t sell them to anyone but Law Enforcement. However, you they are available and if someone set one up, they can hear your every word.

The LensFinder will detect any bug operating between 1MHz ~ 6GHz, which is most any device on AM, FM, 900MHz, 2.4GHz (most wireless cameras), and 5.8MHz.

The other part uses built in LED’s that send a bright light out and if there is a camera lens, you can see the reflection in the viewer, so it finds wired & wireless hidden cameras, even pin-hole cameras.

While the LED’s are not as bright as the Spy Finder Hidden Camera Detector, or the LaserScan Professional Camera Locator, the LensFinder does work well in close ranges, and it puts two different detectors into one for less bulk when traveling.

Watch the video and at the end is a special offer just for you on the LensFinder RF Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector.

S. Korea Creates Network Of Neighborhood Spies To Rat You Out

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Of all the hair-brain ideas coming out of a supposed free country like South Korea is this gem dating back to the crap the East German Stasi pulled on it’s citizens before the collapse of Communism in E. Germany. While back then, the people turned in their friends & neighbors purely for political ideals, this new breed of spy is doing it for the money!

Seems there are spy schools in S. Korea to train people how to spy on their neighbors and how to operate hidden cameras to record the really serious crimes like, get ready, smoking cigarettes in the a non-specific smoking area or giving away, GASP, free plastic bags at the store. Line up the bastards and shoot them at dawn, this is serious crimes here…

The British have also been encouraging people to rat out people who illegally dump and pay some hefty rewards of 500 Pounds or $758!

UK Children aged eight enlisted as council snoopers (report ‘enviro-crime’) Daily Telegraph ^ | Sept 6, 2008

The youngsters are among almost 5,000 residents who in some cases are being offered £500 rewards if they provide evidence of minor infractions.

One in six councils contacted by the Telegraph said they had signed up teams of “environment volunteers” who are being encouraged to photograph or video neighbours guilty of dog fouling, littering or “bin crimes”.

We can only imagine this crap coming to a city near you. However, with a small device called a hidden camera detector like the LensFinder RF Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector, you can rat out the rats.

The LensFinder Dual Mode Bug Detector is unlike any other hidden camera or hidden bug detector, in that you can detect hidden microphones, and wired or wireless cameras, in a small and discrete device that fits in a purse or pocket, and costs less than $200.

The LensFinder RF Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector

For finding hidden RF bugs (tiny microphones that transmit your conversation over regular radio waves), which are sold openly in China/Taiwan, the Lens Finder will let you know when it finds one and can detect frequencies between 1Mhz to 6Ghz.

AM & FM radio transmits between 30–300 MHz. Most wireless cameras operate in 2.4GHz, though there are 1.2MHz and 5.8MHz cameras also. The LensFinder finds most bugs and wireless cameras, except ultra high frequency devices.

The unit will identify the frequencies one of two ways, with 4 LED’s that light as you get closer to the signal, and a vibration mode.

For finding hidden cameras, wired or wireless, the unit also operates as a laser scanner that will set off a series of 4 Bright LED’s that will flash brightly. Don’t look at them, instead point them at where you think a camera lens might be, and look through the protected lens. The blinking lights will reflect back to you when you point them at a camera lens.

The LensFinder RF Dual Mode Hidden Camera Detector kills 2 birds with one stone, finds wireless bugs or cameras, and finds wired or wireless cameras. Find out more information at our Spy & Surveillance Superstore

Perverted Repair Man Caught Installing Spy Camera In Homes

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Incredibly, a repair man was arrested for setting up hidden cameras in peoples bathrooms that he worked on. Yet another reason you need a hidden camera detector…

Jeez, you can’t even be safe in your own home now without some perverted repairman checking your wife out on a hidden camera. The “alleged” pervert, David Mitchell Clark of Rancho Cucamonga pleaded guilty to not one, but two counts of felony counts of burglary and two misdemeanor “peeping Tom” charges.

The idiot would never have been caught, except one time he left a power tool with a tiny camera attached to it. He says it was for dropping down walls to see what is there, however, when the house was searched by the Sheriff’s, they found an audio receiver and a video recorder in the attic. On the video recorder’s hard drive, they found footage of a woman changing clothes in a bathroom.

The camera was found behind an electrical socket, and they found video of many other women at his house that have not been identified.

So now you can’t even go to the bathroom or take a shower in your own home without the risk of being caught on tape in a compromising situation.

It goes to show you that you really do need a hidden camera detector wherever you go. We have them starting at $25, though one of our best, just got smaller.

The Mini Wireless Camera Hunter With Audio Verification is a small hidden camera detector that fits in your pocket. What sets it apart from anything on the market, and justifies it’s price is the ability to actually lock in on a hidden camera and show the video on the LCD screen!

Imaging being alerted that there is a bug in the room. As you work your way around the room, the Mini Wireless Camera Hunter is actually a wireless camera receiver that will pick-up the signals a hidden wireless camera is emitting from up to 500 feet away!

It has rechargeable internal batteries and a 2.5″ LCD color screen that displays the feed of the hidden camera. The Mini Wireless Camera Hunter finds hidden wireless cameras operating in the 900MHz ~ 2.52GHz frequencies, which is all wireless cameras out today, except 5.8GHz, which really are not popular yet.

Chicago Suburb Installs Police Surveillance Cameras At Residences

Monday, September 29th, 2008

In an interesting move, a Chicago, IL suburb, West Chatham, a homeowner tired of vandals destroying his property agreed to let police install video surveillance cameras at his home.

Homeowner links cameras to city cops
First homeowner links his surveillance cameras to city cops

Charles Hill installed five surveillance cameras outside the 3,720-square-foot home he’s building in West Chatham after local kids broke $3,700 worth of architectural windows.

From now on he won’t be the only one checking the video when something bad happens on his block.

Hill has become the first private homeowner to take the city up on its unprecedented offer to connect privately owned exterior surveillance cameras to Chicago’s 911 emergency center.

It is interesting to see that 2 dozen businesses and schools have also agreed to share their video. It really didn’t go into detail if they are wired or wireless, though it talked about a fiber optic network that was encrypted.

We always feel that a Video Surveillance System is the best way to protect your home, as you can have a record of who entered your property to give to law enforcement.

There are so many ways to protect your home or business. For people on a budget and not wanting to buy DVR’s and cameras, the simplest is the SecureView Flood Light Camera, a camera hidden in a flood light that sends video to a box you plug into your T.V. or VCR.

For a great price to performance ratio, we have the 1-4 VersaCam Live View series, that allow you to record up to 4 indoor or outdoor cameras through a small box that connects to your computers USB port.

From there, we have video surveillance systems starting at 4 camera’s and up. Visit our website EyeSpyPro.com for more information. We can also help you put together a complete video surveillance system from different components. Use our contact form, or call us for more information…

Any comments about letting Law Enforcement put a camera at your house? I can see this in Socialist countries, though is that going to far in our free society?

Fake ATM Fraud Alert: Make Sure It’s Not Hijacked!

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

We are seeing a lot of instances where creative scum bags are making fake face plates to ATM machines, and putting in hidden cameras to record your pin #, and a reader to read the data from your credit card. We previously reported on such practices at self-serve gas stations.

Boynton Beach police uncover scheme to rig devices on ATMs for information
Police uncover scheme to rig devices for information

Boynton Beach, FL – A new, sophisticated scheme to steal money out of automated teller machines was uncovered here this weekend, raising concerns that operatives of a Romanian organized crime ring could be operating locally, police said Monday.

It’s called ATM skimming and victims usually don’t even know they’ve been victimized until their identities, and their money, are in the hands of strangers in another part of the world, city police warned.

Here’s how it works: Thieves install a fake face panel on an ATM that conceals a card reader and a hidden camera to record the user’s PIN. When someone uses the machine, the reader records information stored in the card’s magnetic strip, including name, address, birth date, card number, security code, etc., police said.

The user, meanwhile, takes back the card and cash, and leaves without suspecting a thing.

Here is what you need to look for anywhere you stick your credit card in public; a fake front face plate. Pull and tug on the ATM machine, gas pump, or the credit card terminal in between the pumps, like you find @ Arco. If it bents, pulls back, or buckles, it is most likely a fake face place.

If it is solid and does not move, and the paint matches, its the real deal.

The police caught 2 brazen punks from Romania who were in a car nearby, with a crude face plate, super glue, and GPS coordinates of banks in 1/2 dozen states. They had no record or background, nothing except a drivers license. They made it into the country, and incredibly, they were allowed to post bail, they were released! I am sure they will never show up & come out here so we can do it all over the USA.

Be cautious of any place you stick your credit card in public! If the ATM looks different, is a different color, or has stickers that say “No Tampering,” those are some warning signs the ATM has been hijacked.

Also make sure you cup your hands over the keypad when you enter your pin, making sure no camera is seeing your PIN. Notify the bank if you suspect anything is not correct.
