Purpose: Detects Spy Cameras

For something that brings no widespread public glory, being part of the spy world sure takes a lot of guts. Once entering into the covert world of espionage, an agent is forever in harm’s way. The ability to keep their identities hidden, and their missions top-secret, is, usually, the only thing that keeps most spies alive.

Devices like the Spy Finder Pro help agents remain invisible to their foes. Using a ring of LEDs to bounce lightwaves off the lens of any camera within range the Spy Finder Pro unmasks the hidden locations of spy cameras, which in turn keeps the agent safe and invisible.

Purpose: Covert Operations

In spy movies, when attending an important party, the lead spy is given all sorts of gadgets to help them gain the extra information that they’re after. Occasionally, one of these devices is a pair of glasses with multiple amazing functions. Similar frames are now available to the public.

Purpose: Theft-Protection

Until recently, protecting one’s vehicle from theft has been limited to car alarms, steering wheel locks, and the honor system. Each one of these methods, however, can be easily bypassed. A Spot Trace GPS Tracking Device is a theft protection device that the thief doesn’t even know has been activated.

The device’s compact design makes it easy to hide and difficult to find. As soon as a vehicle makes a move that it shouldn’t, the handler receives an alert through text message or e-mail, and they can track the Spot Trace Tracker through Google maps.

Purpose: Surveillance

Covert observing devices have been the talk of the spy world for years, and for good reason. When working in an industry that is littered with untrustworthy people, it’s only natural to want to keep an eye on them – and what better way to do so than with a camera that they don’t even know is there.

Purpose: Video Security

Home security is important not just for spies, but for anyone who values the safety of their loved ones. While elaborate home security systems are certain to help you sleep easy at night, sometimes, all that’s needed is a few strategically placed security cameras. An excellent example of a camera that is simple, yet efficient, is the Wyze Cam V3.

The camera’s built-in motion sensors detect the slightest movement and record the possible intrusion directly to the cloud. If you’re home and notice someone snooping around outside, feel free to use the two-way audio feature to make your presence known and, hopefully, scare the bejesus out of them.

Purpose: Microphone Interference

In the spy world, keeping sensitive conversations under wraps is imperative for survival. Although delivering a message personally is the best way to ensure that the right message is being delivered, there is always the chance that someone might be trying to record what’s being said. For this reason, it’s a good idea to invest in a good pair of speakers…

Well, maybe not, but the Silent Ultrasonic Microphone Defeater does look like a set of speakers, and one of the pair works as one as well. The other emits an ultrasonic frequency that people are not capable of hearing, however, the sound does disrupt the microphone of most audio recorders.

Purpose: Thermal Imaging

An entire generation of people were introduced to the idea of thermal imaging through the first-person view of the creature from the Predator film franchise. Having the ability to scan a room and know if, or where, people are hiding would be a huge advantage, especially, for anyone hoping to have a long career in espionage.

Purpose: Surveillance

Birdwatching is a hobby that takes an enormous amount of patience, and a great eye for detail. As rewarding as discovering a bird species for the first time can be, there are some fowl that have eluded even the most avid of watchers – not because of their elusiveness, but because they, usually, only come out at night.

Through the use of infrared night vision, with a range of 984 feet and up to 4X digital zoom, GThunder Night Vision Binoculars can help birdwatchers of all ages catch their first glimpse of a night-heron, night-hawk, or, perhaps, a spotted owl. In case there are any doubters out there, the 32GB flashcard, that comes with the binoculars, should provide ample space for video evidence.

Purpose: Surveillance

There is a common misconception that those who spy on others are limited to human targets, however, Stealth Cam’s scouting trail cameras are also ideal for those who are looking for a discreet way to observe wildlife without frightening them away from the area. The days of not knowing who, or what, has been trespassing in the yard and destroying the garden are over.

The neighbor, or squirrel, that has been digging up the garden won’t be able to escape the watchful eye of the G42NG for very long. Without letting off any light, or sounds, the G42NG can capture clear still frames and videos up to 100 feet away, while the camera’s camouflage case helps it blend into most terrains.

Purpose: Disguise Identity

As important as it is, at times, to keep one’s image hidden, it’s, equally, as important to keep their voice unheard by those on the other side. Unfortunately, on occasion, phone calls do need to be made, but, thankfully, there are voice-changing apps to protect those who need to remain hidden.

Although there is a wide range of voice modulating apps that can be purchased for a small fee, for those who are not professionals in the spy industry, a free app like Voicemod should suffice. It changes your voice, in real-time, to one of a wide range of voices, and can also keep your location secret by adding sound effects and background noise to any call.

Purpose: Surveillance

In the off chance that you get yourself in the company of people whose business dealings are not on the up-and-up, it’s, probably, a good idea to install a couple of hidden cameras around the home, you know, just in case your new friends pop by for a visit while you’re away.
