Versatile Devices which Do More than Spy

The Whistler inspection video camera is essentially a borescope which is wireless. It has a detachable remote display and a variable intensity lighted (four LEDs) CCD camera on a 9mm wand (smaller diameter than some others). The standard goose-neck wand is 3 Ft long and it comes with a 3 Ft goose-neck extension making it 6 Ft total. Some users have found it a bit too rigid though. The monitor is detachable and wireless with a magnetic swivel mount. It is a must have tool for plumbers, since it can be thrust down a drain to see what is causing a blockage.

This saves on significant wear and tear as you don’t have to tear up your courtyard or whatever to look for the precise location of a blockage.  Just keep in mind that using a plumbing camera to locate the problem doesn’t always mean that the issue can be solved without excavation. However, when the section that needs attention has been pinpointed, your plumber will need to dig up only that specific section. Obviously, if you are using a 600 tvl snake camera, then the purpose is surveillance. These mini spy cameras are very delicate pieces of equipment, so you need to use them properly.

Its flexible but controllable body allows it to be inserted into holes and tight places where ordinary cameras can’t be installed. It lets you see under doors, around shafts, up chimney vents and other hard-to-reach places. Real life spy gadgets are useful just when they’re going without detection right from under the noses of folk under surveillance. Recording with this camera gives you the ability to listen to precise dialogue in the immediate area. This is because it comes with a built-in microphone. The high-resolution lens also provides you with a crystal clear surveillance video. It’s also easily adaptable making it suitable for recording real-time events

Watch Every One and Every Move

You need to keep an eye open even when you aren’t in office or your sales outlet or production center. All said and done, even if every employee is remarkably honest, you still have to keep an eye on customers, suppliers, competitors and regular visitors. Apart from any kind of financial or material loss you might incur, you also need to fend off industrial espionage. For this a security & surveillance camera with high resolution works best. Some of them come with infrared options and a bullet casing, which accounts for both light conditions and does not allow your surveillance camera to get blinded by glare from the sun or other powerful lights in the area which requires surveillance. If it has 56 IR LEDs you can see up to 150 feet away at night.

When your high resolution color camera comes with wide-angle lens, it can be adjusted on the back panel from 9 to 22 mm. This is ensures that you can cover a large area but is only available in wired version. Some of the best surveillance cameras in the market are manufactured by Sony. They offer a range of designs and applications in security cameras for both traditional and the latest uses and looks. When you install a security and surveillance camera, it serves as a deterrent to burglars and other wrongdoers. If the camera does not deter the criminal, the video recording will enable the law enforcers to catch him/her.

Depending on your budget, you can opt for either black and white recordings or color ones whether or not it is a dome camera. A great feature of some cameras is that they have a dual power supply. If the power goes out for whatever reason, the camera will automatically switch over to battery supply. The picture will not be interrupted. A new and exciting camera of Sony is a network camera that can be used for your entire web monitoring needs including web casting. This camera can be monitored from a remote location as long as internet access is available.

Devices No Third Person Can Operate

There are many risks attendant on devices that just about anybody can operate. Chief among them is that basic security and privacy are challenged. Whether it is your safe, or the attendance of the personnel of your organization, relying on the older systems can be hazardous. For example, you might want a variety of things to be stored securely - official documents, essential records, personal valuables like jewelry and cold cash. Therefore, you need some storage system which is secure, and which the casual or even tech savvy thief can’t breach.

Ensure Attendance Is Marked Accurately

Systems that require you to log in your attendance via a dedicated computer can jeopardize your attendance when there is a crash or some other systemic glitch. However, when you login your presence via biometric attendance devices, it means you get paid for every minute you work. In the systems which required you to mark your attendance via an identity card, or an access card, there was considerable risk of fraud. Colleagues and friends have been known to give proxy attendance with another’s card. When your retinal scan is used, nobody can give proxy. For HR personnel, it eliminates one of their biggest headaches. For the management in general, it increases the productivity and profitability of the organization.

Benefit for the employee too: People have been known to lose as much as a day or two’s attendance because of a technical glitch when the older systems were used. Even a glitch in the attendance software could cheat an employee of hours, even days of attendance, such as when the punch card machine was down. However, the biometric system which unlocks the door for people entering the office through a dedicated employee door ensures that nobody tails in to mask time outside the office.

Keep Your Valuable Safe from Prying Eyes

Anything might be valuable for you. It isn’t necessary that it should have monetary value. The biometric hidden wall safe not only keeps your valuable secure, it ensures that most people don’t even have a clue it is there. Usually the front of such a safe is something like a bookshelf, or a large painting. It can be accessed only by you, since it only opens on the detection of your face, fingerprints, or retinal scans. The biggest advantage is that it ensures forced entry is not possible into the safe, and the tumbler can’t be adjusted from the outside to pop it open.

Ensure Safety and Privacy Through Nuisance Prevention

Society in general, and government in particular, have become far too intrusive for anybody’s comfort. However, security challenges have also grown for private individuals, public figures, office managers, and shop owners. Theft, violence, terrorist activities, mistrust, and vulgar curiosity are some of the reasons why an increasing number of people are using surveillance gadgets. While most of such monitoring occurs to aid law enforcement; sometimes it actually poses a security risk. You must prevent such nuisance.

Catch Them in the Act

Most surveillance systems are designed to catch people in the act to counter pilferage, espionage, and even abuse of authority. However, in situations where you feel your privacy is being invaded such as in the changing room of a swimming pool, or in a boutique; you should have a counter surveillance system in place. The greatest dangers are in office when your business or political rivals install eavesdropping software or other surveillance devices. Remember Watergate?

          

Watch out for interception of radio waves: When there is interception of the electromagnetic radiation of the computers, phones, and other equipment for data processing and communication, you stand to have your trade secrets, plans, and strategies exposed. You must identify where the eavesdropping is taking place. Otherwise, you must install a counter surveillance system which scrambles, or jams the signals entering and leaving the office to prevent your rivals and opponents from acquiring sensitive data.

Prevent Confidential Data Loss

Any equipment which has access to internet either through Wi-Fi, cellular, or stationary networks is susceptible to hacking without appropriate firewalls and other security measures.One of the most effective counter surveillance devices is the counter surveillance audio jammer. It doesn’t allow people to eavesdrop on vital meetings, and negotiations. It is normally used when VVIPs are in a public place, at a public event, or where it is not possible to regulate the people moving around there.

Take technical surveillance counter measures (TSCM): When you suspect that your phone is being tapped or bugged, you must install tap nullifier after checking for bugging with an appropriate detector.Suppose you uncover some device or simply a decorative piece like a pen stand which has a transmitter concealed in it, don’t remove it. Simply use the jammer when conducting sensitive discussions. Allowing the other side to eavesdrop on irrelevant conversations will misguide your rivals, snoopy employee/employer, competitors into imagining that they have access to your secrets.

Intrigue or Uncovering Criminal Activity? Both Can Be Done Seamlessly

Popular perceptions of hidden cameras range from sting operations carried out by TV news channels; to slick spy movies where the protagonist is tracked by the villain through a camera hidden in a hat or a lighter to the “Big Brother is watching” kind of surveillance which impinges on our privacy, and right to be ourselves. However, it is vital to remember that surveillance cameras record all kinds of activities - legitimate, covert, illegal.

Eliminate the Fear of Getting Disconnected

In office, at home, in a busy market, at a public event, at the railway station - just about anywhere - you need to keep an eye on what people are doing, or not doing. For this you need a wireless hidden camera. The advantages of such cameras are many, chief among them being that people don’t know they are being watched. This works in your favor when you suspect that one or more persons might be indulging in activities which would work against the interests of your organization. Industrial espionage is a threat which undermines the viability, and even existence of not just the gigantic corporations, but also the small to medium sized companies.

When the surveillance cameras are cordless or wireless, it ensures that they are not discovered when someone trips on a wire. Further, you have no fear of getting disconnected accidentally when any wire comes loose. If you are keeping a third eye open for intruders and trespassers, then cordless is the way to go.

Go for State of the Art Technology

Scientific advances have benefited the makers and users of surveillance systems. You can invest in an advanced camera system to watch over many people in different parts of a corporate office, an educational institution, a financial institution, or a mall/superstore. Such cameras are smaller, and capture activities with a higher resolution unobtrusively. The 360-degree dome cameras with infrared (IR) capabilities are more desirable as they can capture images of activities occurring within their specified range, even in low light.

Keep your people secure: If your office, store, commercial outlet, or even clinic is housed in a multi storied building; then you need to keep your personnel, business associates, and customers safe when they are in the lift well, or in the car park. Installing an advanced CCTV camera system with strategically placed cameras, and linked to a computer with recordings in real time is a sensible way to prevent attacks when they are placed visibly. In the event of some unfortunate incident occurring, the recordings would facilitate nabbing the miscreants.
