Spy Glasses: Private Investigator Tools

May 16, 2017 By admin 13 Comments

 

Spy Glasses: No Longer Exclusively For Secret Agents

Have you ever wanted the ability to film someone or something without anyone knowing? Sometimes you want to take a picture or video, but pulling out a camera phone wouldn’t be appropriate in the situation.  a pair of Spy Glasses that come equipped with a hidden camera may be the solution to your problem.

Cheating spouses, shiesty businessmen, and corrupt public officials may all incriminate themselves thinking it’s your word against theirs, not knowing they being covertly recorded. If used correctly these glasses serve as an excellent surveillance tool, allowing you to capture succinct details of an person, place, or event. Details that can prove to be invaluable in a court setting or just to provide leverage in a crucial situation.

The glasses record at the touch of a button, capturing everything the person wearing them sees. Another press of the button ends the recording and saves the file. As with many similar tools, the files save to a mini-SD that allow for easy transfer to a computer or device. The spy glasses charge via a mini-USB port.

Be careful using these if you don’t normally wear glasses. People who aren’t used to seeing you with eye wear will zero in on the glasses and may even become suspicious of them. Picking a pair of shades equipped with a camera may solve the issue, but doesn’t fit well in an indoor environment.

Light Switch Spy Camera : Private Investigator Tools

May 4, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

Betrayal of Trust

One of the most common places for infidelity to take place is within a hotel. Those looking to cheat on their significant others feel safe within the walls of a lodge in a part of town their partner rarely traverses. But humans are creatures of habit and tend to return to where they feel safe at. By using a GPS Tracker to follow their vehicle, you can determine when your dishonest partner arrives at an unexplainable location such as a hotel. But then what?

Once a pattern is established, allowing you to roughly estimate when and where your spouse will likely engage in an extra-marital affair, how do you prove they don’t have some legitimate reason to be going to these places. If you confront them, they may be able to think of an excuse; they grab a few drinks at the hotel bar every now and then. Waiting in the parking lot runs you the risk of being approached by security or seen by your spouse. In addition, they may be smart enough to have their fling meet them at the room and never be seen together outside of there. The Light Switch Spy Camera may be your perfect solution .

The Light Switch Spy Cam easily attaches to any wall and perfectly blends into the decor of most hotels. The cameras can be placed at the ends of hallways to catch traffic coming in and out of hotels rooms. Even if your significant other and the person they’re meeting don’t enter and exit at the same, they will have a hard time explaining their little rendezvous.

You may have to utilize several Light Switch Spy Cams to ensure you cover the entire hotel, but with installation as easy as ripping the flap off a sticky pad and pressing the device on a wall, that’s easily accomplished. The spy cam records to a mini-SD card that plugs into a port concealed under the device’s removable face plate. Charging is done via a mini-USB port next to the SD card slot. Operating the device couldn’t be easier, but test it out in your own home prior to deployment to work out any kinks.

Although you are welcome to try out this device on your own, deploying in a hotel might be better left up to the experts. Laws about when and where you can set up a camera, when and how to coordinate with hotel staff, and what could possibly compromise the ability to present the footage in court are all things that a licensed and experienced private investigator is adept at knowing and handling.

Spy Pen Camera: Private Investigator Tools

May 3, 2017 By admin 2 Comments

 

When The Situation Gets Critical

Relationships end, loved ones separate, business partnerships dissolve, and some people will inevitably stab you the back. In a perfect world the situation would end there and each party would go on about their life. In reality, the end may just be the beginning of a long drawn-out fight for control over previously shared assets.

Both sides offer differing versions of the events that led them to this point. No one wants to take responsibility and places blame for all their misgivings on the opposing side. Discerning fact from fiction can seem a tall order for a judge or mediating party.

Playing he-said she-said can be incredibly frustrating when the other side won’t admit to certain actions and behaviors, or worse, outright lies about you or the facts of the case. But all the lies in the world can’t stand up to hard evidence. As things turn ugly, words will be exchanged and admissions will inevitably be made. Things will be said that could completely change a judge jury, mediator’s mind about the character of the person sitting across the aisle from you. You can testify as what they said,or you can provide a recording of them saying it for the world to see.

The Spy Pen Camera provides an easy way to record audio and video of someone as you engage them in pointed dialogue. Simply attaching the pen to your shirt pocket you full-frontal video recording in almost any situation. If audio is more important that than video, the pen cam can be attached to a note book or simply placed on a flat surface in close proximity to you and your target.

Utilizing the pen camera is extremely easy and user friendly. By recording to a mini-SD card the sits in a hidden slot at the base of the pen, the device enables easy transfer of footage your computer or tablet. A USB port next to the SD card allows for easy charging. Even those who are novices at all things technology should be able to figure out how to properly use the spy camera with a little practice.

Covertly recording intimate conversations is a dirty job, but sometimes it’s necessary uncover the truth about a situation or to prove the true intentions of a vindictive, manipulative individual. While you may want to hire a professional private investigator to work the case for you, sometimes your person of interest will only talk to you. Even in this scenario you should consult with a private investigator or attorney about best practices for recording, as well as what roadblocks you might have with getting your evidence introduced in court.

GPS Tracking Device: Private Investigator Tools

May 2, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

 

The Power Is In Your Hands

Your spouse is always working late or leaving the house at strange times with explanations that just don’t add up. You’re worried your teenager may be falling in with the wrong crowd and engaging in unsafe and risky behavior. You believe an employee may engaging in illegal activity with your company-owned or personal vehicle. All these situations present different issues but may be solved using the same method: A GPS tracker.

Think tracking people with a GPS device is solely reserved for top government operatives and secret agents who grace the scenes of Hollywood productions? The power to trace someone’s every step is actually easily obtainable, but could get you in hot water if you’re not familiar with or don’t understand your locals laws.

A Global Positioning System tracking unit works by transmitting a signal to a satellite, that in turn sends a signal back to a program that you access via your computer, phone, or other device. The units are commonly placed in a discreet location on an individual’s vehicle and removed when the operation is over. The device comes with a weather proof, magnetized box to attach to the outside of the vehicle if necessary.

The battery life on different units can range anywhere from under a day to a couple weeks or longer, depending on the battery pack connected to the device. This particular model lasts approximately three days with the small battery pack, or two weeks with the larger battery pack and will require it be changed after that.

While you may be comfortable and knowledgeable enough to understand when you are and aren’t allowed to use a GPS tracker on a vehicle, the unnecessary risk associated with an untrained person operating one of these devices may outweigh the financial benefit of doing it your self. In addition to the risk of running amok of the law, confrontations are likely to occur if an individual is caught in act of installing the device or replacing the battery.

A licensed private investigator is trained in how to covertly locate a vehicle and attach the device to it. P.I.s know how to operate the software that the GPS reports to, not only to watch the vehicle in real time but to provide documentation as to where it traveled throughout a specific time frame. They are also able to follow and record the target when they travel to a suspicious location, such as a hotel or unfamiliar residence. Most importantly, private detectives are prepared to testify in court and mediation setting as to results of the of operation. Nothing beats having a respected, neutral party to presented the evidence in a formal setting.

Whether you decide to hire a professional private investigator to deploy a GPS tracking device or decide to carry out the operation on your own one thing is clear: the power to track down and monitor the movements of a cheating spouse, reckless teenager, or an individual you believe to be engaged in criminal activity is within reach for anyone.

Clock Camera: Private Investigator Tools

April 29, 2017 By admin 1 Comment

If you suspect your significant other of violating your trust, you want definite answers before you make a life-altering decision. Unfortunately many cheating spouses choose to engage in extra marital affairs in intimate spaces you share with them, such as your own bedroom. Trying to find a way to discreetly record what happens in your home can be challenging. Employee misconduct, untrustworthy house guests, and misbehaving children all present further reasons to employ a covert video recording system, but how do you go about doing so?

The Clock Camera Nanny Cam is one of the simplest surveillance devices you can set up. Simply place the clock in a location that allows it to capture the area you want surveilled, but doesn’t look out of place with a time piece positioned there. As with many covert recording devices, the clock cam begins recording high-quality video and audio when it’s motion detection sensor is activated. The recordings will compile on an SD card that discreetly plugs into a slot on the side of the camera. Any adultery, malicious activity, or misbehavior that occurs will be captured, offering definitive proof of the events occurring.

Transferring the footage from the device is a simple removing the SD card and copying its contents to a computer or other compatible device. The footage is easily viewed on most platforms and can packaged for court, mediation, or any other setting in which it may be needed. The device charges through a mini-USB port located close to the SD card, making it easy to keep it powered as it keeps watch over your personal area.

While using a device that you have to manually retrieve the footage from can be inconvenient, the ease with which the device is installed and operated more than makes up for any extra hurdles. The clock camera has a set up time of less than 5 minutes and requires very little maintenance. For the those who find themselves technologically challenged, there are very few covert recording devices that are better suited.

Window / Door Alarms – Home Security Tips

March 16, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

Looking for a cheap way to secure your home from intruders? These cost-effective alarms easily attach to your windows and doors. The alarm deters would-be thieves and alerts home owners to the unwanted presence.

The two piece set attaches together and creates a magnetic field on any point of entry to your home. When that entry point is breached and the magnetic field is broken, the alarm is activated. Once activated the alarm creates a piercing noise that can reach close to 100 decibels (dBs).

Although these alarms lack the ability of more sophisticated alarm systems to alert law enforcement, with a price point of around a few dollars these are perfect for the home owner on a budget, as an augmentation to a more comprehensive system, or for the home owner with privacy concerns related to more intrusive alarm systems.

Cameras – Home Security Tips

March 16, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

 

Cameras are one of the best ways to protect your home from thieves and burglars. They can also prove invaluable in uncovering unscrupulous activity among babysitters, maids, and house guests.

No matter what your budget or area of concern is, these is a camera system for you. From comprehensive closed circuit tv systems, to inexpensive motion sensor activated cameras, your options are numerous.

Cameras that feed back to a recording system or server provide the highest level of defense for your home. Although they are the most expensive option, they provide uninterrupted high quality footage that can help identify suspects and provide clarity into the details of incidents that occur in and around your home. They also act as a great deterrent to would-be intruders.

Deer cameras and other motion detector cameras are great for the inside of your home. Recoding only when activated by movement the cameras record directly to a memory card, making the footage easy to upload to a computer. The cameras can come in the form of a deer cam or inconspicuously disguised as a an alarm clock or other house hold item.

Signs and Lights – Home Security Tips

March 16, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

While signs and lights may not seem like the most effective way to protect your home, the truth is that they’re a surprisingly effective deterrent. The threat of an alarm system, vicious dog, or camera system is enough to discourage criminals from targeting your home. Why take the risk that the signs are a bluff, when they’re are plenty of other targets out there?

Alarm system signs such as ADT can be some of the most effective. The general public is aware of the how advanced an ADT security system is from the commercials and news reports. Criminals tend to avoid homes marked with a sign indicating they are secured because of past incidents they have been involved in, or incidents their associates have been involved in. In addition, alarm system companies appreciate the free advertising and may issue you discounted rates or offers if they become aware you are promoting their brand.

Beware of Dog signs are also an effective deterrent against burglars. Not only are dogs living, breathing alarm systems with their loud bark, they present the possibility that an intruder may be attacked by an animal with sharp claws and teeth. Many criminals (and people in general) also have a deep-ceded fear of dogs, especially one that feels its home and family are in danger.

Signs indicating a surveillance system is present can prevent many criminals from targeting your house as well. There’s very few things that get a criminal caught and convicted quicker than having pictures or video of them broadcast on news stations and social media. Although they’re are modestly priced cameras that you can purchase, sometimes this just isn’t a feasible option. When you can’t get the real thing, a sign indicating that surveillance system is in place is the next best thing.
