It might be a guy thing, I don’t know, but gadgets are just cool.. spy gadgets are even cooler. Admittedly, I bought the X-Ray glasses, disappearing ink and the telescope pen from the back of comic books when I was a kid. Why? Because they are cool spy gadgets! I also grew up watching James Bond, pretending I was 007 and had a license to kill (usually my brother). Movies and shows like James Bond and Get Smart were very popular, and the gadgets they used were the fantasies of millions of viewers. Thanks to technology, yesterday’s dreams are today’s reality.. and the cool spy gadgets we used to dream for are very affordable.
Wireless Spy Cameras
Whether you want to keep an eye on your car (wireless night vision camera), catch a cheating partner (wireless pinhole camera) or keep an eye on your nanny/babysitter (nanny cam), everything you need a easy to use and inexpensive. The list of wireless spy cameras goes on… you can also get them in alarm clocks, smoke detectors, fake wall plugs, and pens. Last year while surfing for the latest spy gadget, I even saw an incredibly small pinhole camera that was in the shape of a screw head that you put into a wall or wardrobe box… looking at it you’d believe it was a simple screw but the rest of the camera is in behind and transmitting color video signals at 2.4 ghz. What will they think of next?
Tracking Devices
Unsure where your teenager is driving off to? Think your spouse is going somewhere other than to the bar with friends? How about a GPS tracker? Once installed into a vehicle, you’ll be able to track it’s every movement. Once they get home, take the hidden GPS tracker and connect it to your computer. Use Google Earth and you’ll even see addresses!
Wire Taps – Voice Recorders
If you feel you need to record your telephone conversations for whatever reason (threatening calls, or simply retaining phone conversations), there are many different devices you can use. Keep in mind that most countries require all parties to be informed prior to recording any conversations.
Counter Spying – Bug Detectors
Worried you’re being spied on? Wondering if that change room or tanning salon is safe? There are easy solutions for that, bug detectors. Bug detectors come in many different types, from your key chain (very handy when traveling), handheld units, or pens (very discrete). These detectors can detect the presence of any hidden cameras or listening devices quickly and easily.
There are so many options available now, pretty much anything you can think of is available online for you to order. You are no longer limited to a small mirror attached to the end of a stick so you can see under doors or around corners (although those were very cool as children).
