Disguised to resemble everyday family items, the modern-day Spy Camera or disguised nanny cam offers a genuine explore the world around us. Let's face it, the world is not as safe as it once was. The Hidden Camera is a wise way to monitor events that unfold around us without alarming the folks we interact with and care about.

Just recently, spy cams have risen in popularity because of babysitting concerns. With a baby-sitter spy camera for home use parents can easily monitor their children's behavior and be sure that the nanny is paying desired care to them. However, that's just one possible application. The spy cameras for home could be used while your home is being cleaned, for periodic in-home sitter services, for security reasons and a host of other choices. You also have the choice of having a wireless hidden spy cam that you can easily move from place to place at home or even take it with you for on-the-go recording.

Any company who has employees that are dealing with a till or cash transactions should have surveillance equipment to monitor the transactions from a remote location. This is going to help business owners keep the losses from theft to a minimum. The sad fact is that not every employee is honest and trustworthy.

Given the hard times we live in the down economy the crime rate is at all time high and due to terrorist attacks, security cameras have taken on a whole new meaning in the 21-st Century.

The world of technology is changing faster than many would like. If you get the latest techie toy you can bet something better, faster and cheaper will come along soon thereafter. That is a good thing.

Choosing the right surveillance camera system can be a challenge. The best way to decide is simply to head to the electronics store and check out what they have. But, before you start shopping, make sure you know what you need.

Why Use Spy Cameras?

Whether you want to think about crime around you or not, unfortunately it's an unalienable truth.

Burglary, home invasions and such incidents affect millions of Americans every year.

Spy cameras can be your safeguard against intruders or other lawbreakers. Do you want to know who noses around your mail when you're at work?

Are you worried your children might be involved in activities you don't approve of? Hidden cameras are your solution to finding out all the information you need.

Are you a working parent with children who have to stay at home with a nanny during the day?

Our wide range of spycams can be used as nanny cams to keep a watch on how well your children are being taken care of. Nanny cams are a great way for you to get peace of mind and reassurance that your children are safe. Spy Cameras expample below

How Many Cameras Do You Need? Can you get by with just one surveillance camera, or do you need a whole system? One camera is obviously cheaper, and there is no reason to buy a complex system when one will do. For a large office or business, you will definitely need a surveillance system.

The good news is that these systems are easier to install and use than ever before, and they have been steadily dropping in price. Newer technologies are always making it easier to keep your business safe.

On the other hand, maybe a dummy camera will do.

You can buy a dummy camera for as little as $30, and in many cases, these will fool would-be thieves.

Protecting your business is a major issue.

Installing a surveillance camera system will give you piece of mind, knowing that your company is secure.

Be a smart shopper and get just the system you need Wireless Or Wired Surveillance systems come both wired or wireless, and which is ideal depends on your business.

In general, wireless networks are easier to install and manage. Until recently, wired systems were more reliable, but wireless networks are getting better all of the time.

Wireless seems to be a better option for most business applications, but many companies are still choosing wired systems for their security. The reason is simply that wireless systems are not always secure.

This means that someone could possibly tap into your wireless security network more easily than a wired network. Still, more businesses are going wireless.

Lighting Are you recording outside or inside?

Do you need color or black-and-white?

Do you need to record in low light conditions?

These are all major factors in choosing the right surveillance camera. Almost all cameras these days record in color, and there is no major price difference.

Some cameras record using infra-red at night, so that you can still get an accurate picture of what is going on, even in the dark.

Detection Or Recording Here is a question to ask yourself-Do you need surveillance cameras that simply watch and notify you if something happens, or do you need to record what happens? For a simple nighttime security alarm system, detection my work just fine.

If there is movement in the office, the police are called. However, if you are keeping watch over your employees, or you need to record what happens for any other reason, you will want something that records.

Recording devices are always more expensive than detection devices, but they are coming down in price. They have also become more compact and convenient over the years, now using digital recording and computer synchronization.

If any of the following warning signs apply and you are concerned about covert eavesdropping or wiretapping then it would be wise to contact customerservice. However, do not call from a suspect telephone, cellular telephone, or cordless phone and understand that it is critical that you should get someone out to your location as quietly, and as quickly as possible.

Are you a potential target? If eavesdropping on anything you say, write, or do could increase someone else's wealth or influence, then the answer must be yes, you are a potential target.

1. Others know your confidential business or professional trade secrets. This is the most obvious indicator ofcovert eavesdropping activities. Theft of confidential information is a multi-billion dollar underground industry in the United States. Often the loss of your secrets will show up in very subtle ways so you should always trust your instincts in this matter. When your competitors know things that are obviously private, or the media finds out about things they should not know, then it is reasonable to suspect technical eavesdropping or bugging.        
2. Secret meetings and bids seem to be less than secret. Confidential meetings and bids are very popular targets for corporate spies. How would you like the plans for the corporate takeovers you're planning to become public knowledge? Would copies of your product designs be of any use to your competitors? Would it be beneficial for your competitors to know how much you're quoting for the same project?        
3. People seem to know your activities when they shouldn't.
4. You have noticed strange sounds or volume changes on your phone lines. This is commonly caused by an amateur eavesdropper when they attach a wiretap, or activate a similar listening device. Surveillance devices often cause slight anomalies on the telephone line such a volume shift or drop-out. Professional eavesdroppers and their equipment usually do not make such noises; so if this is going on it could indicate that an amateur eavesdropper is listening in.        
5. You have noticed static, popping, or scratching on your phone lines. This is caused by the capacitive discharge which occurs when two conductors are connected together (such as a bug or wiretap on a phone line). This is also a sign that an amateur eavesdropper or poorly trained spy is playing with your phone lines. It could be nothing more then a problem with your phone line or instrument, but a TSCM person should evaluate the situation to make sure.        
6. Sounds are coming from your phones handset when it's hung up. This is often caused by a hook switch bypass, which turns the telephone receiver into a eavesdropping microphone (and also a speaker). There is probably somebody listening to everything you say or do within twenty feet of the telephone (if this is happening).        
7. Your phone often rings and nobody is there, or a very faint tone, or high pitched squeal/beep is heard for a fraction of a second. This is an indicator of a slave device, or line extender being used on your phone line. This is also a key indicator of a harmonica bug, or infinity transmitter being used. Of course it may also be nothing more then a fax machine or modem calling the wrong number (but a TSCM person should evaluate the situation to make sure).        
8. You can hear a tone on your line when your phone is on the hook (by using an external amplifier). To check for something like this you would have to obtain a "recorder starter" interface (with a VOX option), or some kind of a high gain audio amplifier such as a uAmp or Kaiser 1059. Then with the phone hung-up listen to your telephone wiring. If you hear a faint solid dual tone it is a dead giveaway of someone using a "slave" eavesdropping device on your (or one of your neighbors) telephone lines. Such devices create a "command tone" when the subject hangs up the phone (so you must ensure that all of your phones are hung-up). On an added note: the most common command tones for illicit eavesdropping devices are 2100 Hz and DTMF-C, but any tone combination may be used.        
9. Your AM/FM radio has suddenly developed strange interference. Many amateur and spy shop eavesdropping devices use frequencies within or just outside the FM radio band, these signals tend to drift and will "quiet" an FM radio in the vicinity of the bug. Look for the transmissions at far ends of the FM radio band, and at any quiet area within the FM band. If the radio begins to squeal then slowly move it around the room until the sound become very high pitched. This is referred to as feedback detection or loop detection and will often locate the bug. The "stereo" function should be turned off so the radio is operating in "mono" as this will provide a serious increase in sensitivity. If you find a "squealer" in this manner then immediately contact a TSCM and get them to your location FAST.        
10. Your car radio suddenly starts "getting weird"       Keep in mind that the antenna your car radio uses may be (and often is) exploited by an eavesdropper, and that such usage may interfere with radio reception (so be concerned if you automobile radio suddenly starts getting weird).      
11. Your television has suddenly developed strange interference. Television broadcast frequencies are often used to cloak a eavesdropping signal, but such a devices also tends to interfere with television reception (usually a UHF channel). Televisions also "suck in" a lot of RF energy and because of this are very sensitive to any nearby transmitters (this is technically called "Bandwidth, and TV signals use a lot of it). A small handheld television with a collapsible antenna may be used to sweep a room. Carefully watch for interference around channel numbers 2, 7, 13, 14, 50-60, and 66-68 as these frequencies are very popular with eavesdroppers.        
12. You have been the victim of a burglary, but nothing was taken. Professional eavesdroppers often break into a targets home or office, and very rarely leave direct evidence of the break-in; however, occupants of the premises will often "pickup on something not being right" such as the furniture being moved slightly.        
13. Electrical wall plates appear to have been moved slightly or "jarred". One of the most popular locations to hide eavesdropping devices is inside, or behind electrical outlets, switches, smoke alarms, and lighting fixtures. This requires that the wall plates be removed. Look for small amounts of debris located on the floor directly below the electrical outlet. Also, watch for slight variations in the color or appearance of the power outlets and/or light switches as these are often swapped out by an eavesdropper. Also note if any of the screws which hold the wallplate against the wall have been moved from their previous position.        
14. A dime-sized discoloration has suddenly appeared on the wall or ceiling. This is a tell tale sign that a pinhole microphone or small covert video camera has been recently installed.        
15. One of your vendors just gave you any type of electronic device such as a desk radio, alarm clock, lamp, small TV, boom box, CD player, and so on. Many of these "gifts" are actually trojan horses which contain eavesdropping devices. Be very suspicious of any kind of pen, marker, briefcase, calculator, "post-it" dispenser, power adapter, pager, cell phone, cordless phone, clock, radio, lamp, and so on that is given as a gift. That little gift the salesman left for you may be a serious hazard.        
16. A small bump or deformation has appeared on the vinyl baseboard near the floor. Strong indicator that someone may have concealed covert wiring or a microphone imbedded into the adhesive which holds the molding to the wall. Such deformation will often appear as a color shift, or lightening of the color.        
17. The smoke detector, clock, lamp, or exit sign in your office or home looks slightly crooked, has a small hole in the surface, or has a quasi reflective surface. These items are very popular concealment for covert eavesdropping devices. Often when these devices are installed at a target location they are rarely installed straight. Also watch out for things like this that "just appear", or when there is a slight change in their appearance.        
18. Certain types of items have "just appeared" in your office of home, but nobody seems to know how they got there. Typical items to watch for and beware of are: clocks, exit signs, sprinkler heads, radios, picture frames, and lamps.        
19. White dry-wall dust or debris is noticed on the floor next to the wall. A sign that a pinhole microphone or video camera may have been installed nearby. It will appear as if someone has dropped a small amount of powdered sugar either on the floor, or on the wall.        
20. You notice small pieces of ceiling tiles, or "grit" on the floor, or on the surface area of your desk. Prime indicator that a ceiling tile has been moved around, and that someone may have installed a hidden video camera or other eavesdropping device in your office or near your desk. Also watch for cracks or chips in the ceiling tiles. Amateur and poorly trained spies tend to crack or damage acoustical tiles. The ceiling tiles in any executive areas should never contain any cracks, nicks, gouges, or stains. Any ceiling tile that becomes damaged (for what ever reason) should immediately replaced and the cause to the damage documented. In such cases it is also wise to have a TSCM specialist inspect the area around the chipped, broken, or damaged tile to determine if a hostile eavesdropping device may have been introduced.        
21. You notice that "Phone Company" trucks and utilities workers are spending a lot of time near your home or office doing repair work. If you see the same or similar vehicles more then three times then you may have a serious problem (at least according to the U.S. State Department training course on counter surveillance).        
22. Telephone, cable, plumbing, or air conditioning repair people show up to do work when no one called them.A very common ruse which eavesdroppers use to get into a facility is to fake a utility outage, and then show up to fix the problem. While they are fixing "the problem" they are also installing eavesdropping devices. Some of the more popular outage involve power, air conditioning, telephone, and even the occasional false fire alarm.        
23. Service or delivery trucks are often parked nearby with nobody (you can see) in them. These vehicles are commonly used as listening posts, be very cautious of any vehicle which has a ladder or pipe rack on the roof. Also, be wary of any vehicle which has tinted windows, or an area which you cannot see though (like a service van). The listening post vehicle could be any vehicle from a small Geo Tracker, Suburban, Blazer, Trooper, or Cargo Van. Look for any vehicle which could conceal a person in the back or has tinted windows. Also, keep in mind that the eavesdropper may relocate the vehicle several times, so look around. Typically, eavesdroppers like to get within 500-750 feet from the place or person they are eavesdropping on.        
24. Your door locks suddenly don't "feel right", they suddenly start to get "sticky", or they completely fail. Prime evidence that the lock has been picked, manipulated, or bypassed. Try to always use biaxial locks with sidebars (such as ASSA or Medeco). Also, only use double sided deadbolts in all doors, and good quality window bars on all windows, and a good quality door bar on all doors not used as a primary entry doors.        
25. Furniture has been moved slightly, and no one knows why. A very popular location for the installation of eavesdropping device is either behind, or inside furniture (couch, chair, lamp, etc.) People who live or work in a targeted area tend to notice when furnishings have been moved even a fraction of an inch. Pay close attention to the imprint which furniture makes on rugs, and the position of lamps shades. Also watch the distance between furniture and the wall as eavesdroppers are usually in a hurry and rarely put the furniture back in the right place.        
26. Things "seem" to have been rummaged through, but nothing is missing (at least that you noticed). A "less than professional spy" will often rummage through a targets home for hours, but very rarely will they do it in a neat and orderly fashion. The most common "rummaging" targets are the backs of desk drawers, the bottom of file cabinets, closets, and dresser drawers.

When people talk about "GPS," they usually mean a GPS receiver unit, but the Global Positioning System (GPS) is actually a constellation of 27 Earth orbiting satellites.

The U.S. military developed and implemented this satellite network as a military navigation system, but opened it up to the private sector.

Each of these solar powered satellites circles the globe making two complete rotations every day. The orbits are arranged so that at any time, anywhere on Earth, there are at least four satellites "visible" in the sky.

A GPS receiver's job is to locate four or more of these satellites, figure out the distance to each satellite, and use this information to determine its own location. This operation is based on a simple mathematical principle called trilateration. We will not explain the details of trilateration at this time.

Once the receiver makes this calculation, it can tell you the latitude, longitude and altitude (or some similar measurement) of its current position. To make the navigation more user-friendly, most receivers will download this raw data into map.

A standard GPS receiver will not only place you on a map at any particular location, but will also trace your path across a map as you move. The receiver stays in constant communication with GPS satellites to see how your location is changing.

With this information and its built-in clock, the receiver can give you several pieces of valuable information: How far you've traveled (odometer), How long you've been traveling, Your current speed (speedometer), Your average speed and A "bread crumb" trail showing you exactly where you have traveled on the map.

Choosing the right GPS system

Choosing a GPS vehicle tracking system can be difficult. There are many products on the market with a slew of bells and whistles. Which bells and whistles do you really need. First, determine WHY you need the system.

For example, what aspects of employee productivity need to be addressed? Overtime concerns, route management, increased sales? Or, are you in need of a system simply to ensure that a family member has made it to his/her destination. Do you need real-time verification or is it ok if you receive and manage the information later in the day or week.

Passive vs. Real-Time systems

There are two general categories of systems to choose from. Your first step in your evaluation process should be to determine if you require a "Real-time" or "Passive" system. Both real-time and passive systems have the capability to provide you with vehicle speed data, vehicle stops data, length of stop data and route taken data.

"Real-Time" GPS Vehicle Tracking Overview

Generally, a Real-time system utilizes a wireless network to allow you to receive your information and view the location of your asset in real-time. Real-time GPS tracking is becoming the standard for companies or individuals who wish to use a GPS locator device for tracking fleet vehicles as well as tracking assets (trailers, generators, heavy equipment). Some features of real-time systems include the ability to know where your vehicle is RIGHT NOW, real-time zone alerts, arrival at customer site alerts, speed alerts, the ability to locate the nearest vehicle to a particular address. Generally, with a real-time system, you retrieve your information from the internet and the GPS company servers.

"Passive" GPS Vehicle Tracking Overview

When a passive unit is installed in a vehicle, the GPS location data is stored in the GPS receiver and downloaded from the vehicle at the end of the day or when the vehicle returns to the yard. Passive systems can be downloaded manually (where every driver turns in a memory module or key at the end of the day), or automatically (where your data is transferred wirelessly to a computer via 900mhz when the vehicle travels within a certain distance of the yard). Passive systems are recommended for companies who do not have a need to view their fleet in real-time, nor do they have the need to know where a vehicle is right now. The passive system is an excellent system for cost conscious companies who can manage their fleet after the vehicles and drivers return to the yard. You get an excellent return on investment from passive systems because there is no monthly monitoring.
