Businesses Resorting to ?Spy? Gadgets
2008-05-27 23:01:00
Here is a very interesting article that suggests businesses of all sizes are resorting to using all sorts of surveillance technology to help with security of their busineses.

Stolen Computers Being Tracked to Thieves
2008-05-21 08:59:00
Here is a story about how stolen computers are being located using tarckers integrated into the bios of the computer motherboard. We know tracking systems have been used for cars to locate their wherabouts after being stolen with huge success, not a lot of people would know the same is being done with Laptops. The difference in the tracking here is probably more to do with the fact that, in this case, the tracker is not a physical product in the sense that its is attached to the computer.

Paper That Erases Its Content

Anti GPS Tracker Device
2008-04-17 13:43:00
With the recent decrease in cost of global position devices (GPS), both monitoring units and tracking devices have become rather popular, so having the ability to disable all GPS trackers within a 2 metre radius can definitely come in handy. This GPS Tracker Defence from TrackerShack was made to do exactly that. The device is plugged directly into the power socket of your car, and after one minute it will disable any GPS trackers within 2 metres. This device would be perfect for a smaller vehicle or a vehicle with its power socket in between the seats rather than in the front, as 2 metres isn’t always the full length of a vehicle.

Once you've decided on monitoring a room through video surveillance, it's always difficult to determine what you're going to use to accomplish the task. The biggest question that you have to ask yourself is ?Can I hide a camera in anything currently in the room??. While the answer to this question is sometimes yes, the risk of it not being hidden well enough may be to great a risk to take. With the surveillance industry offering plenty of common house hold items already equipped with video cameras, there is one item that fits in nearly any room, a wall clock.

CCTVMobile: Video Surveillance Directly to Your Mobile Phone
2008-04-14 01:02:00
Video surveillance systems such as Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) can be a powerful resource to have at your disposal. The ability to fully monitor and record a designated area through a series of cameras and a control system can provide you with a significant amount of flexibility. That is of course, if you are able to get in front of the monitoring unit to view what's happening live or have the time spend viewing the recordings that your CCTV has made. More advanced CCTV systems allow the user to either log in through their computer and view the live video or recordings. While this is definitely an improvement, accessing a WiFi point or using a mobile network to connect with your laptop is not exactly the most discrete option available. Plus, you'll still have to dedicate the same amount of time to monitoring it or reviewing the video. Copyright © 2008 Spy Review. This Feed is for personal non-commercial use only.

Surveillance: Local Authorities in UK Spying on Residents
2008-04-12 22:53:00
It seems having CCTV cameras popping up on every street corner is not enough, now councils are being granted permission to spy on people at the individual level. They are being given permission, upon approval, to spy on residents who they believe are causing them problems. The local authorities involved are taking advantage of legislation that allows, at least in some cases, for individuals and households to be monitored over what seems pretty trivial issues such as whether dog owners are picking up waste. They are using a variety of techniques such as spy cameras and binoculars, depending on the situation. Copyright © 2008 Spy Review. This Feed is for personal non-commercial use only.

Low Cost Mobile Phone Eavesdropping Device a Reality?
2008-04-10 00:54:00
Researchers in the US claim to be able to develop a device that is able to eavesdrop on mobile phone conversations by hacking into GSM networks, for a cost of mere $1,000. Previous attempts to develop such a device have cost upwards of $100,000. The 64-bit A5/1 Network Encryption used on GSM networks has been cracked for almost a decade now, but after the developments that occurred at this year’s 2008 Black Hat Conference in Washington D.C., the technology is that much closer to being developed.
