In July 2007, two burglars tried their luck on a daring theft.  They broke into a Texas store named Spy Supply that sells high-end spy gadgets and surveillance equipment.  Breaking the store’s front window, the thieving duo made off with $10,000 worth of spy gadget equipment.

Luckily, the entire incident was caught on tape by the 17 security cameras in the store.  Apparently, the thieves didn’t consider that a spy gadget supply store would have state-of-the-art surveillance equipment.  The store’s security cameras caught several clear images of the burglars and their getaway car, arming police with evidence of the robbery.

Spy gadgets are available for the safety and protection of the general public – fortify your business, home, and family against similar incidents with spy gadgets of your own:

Spy Cameras

These inconspicuous spy gadgets come in handy for subtle surveillance projects.  Keep an eye on your babysitter or nanny; monitor your employees; supervise your teens while you aren’t even home.  For less than $40, you can purchase a SVAT Mini Indoor Black & White Pinhole Camera that is as small as a penny.  Conceal this camera in nearly any object in your home or office for the perfect surveillance solution. 

Spy Phones

For extra defense against intruders, try a spy phone, which combines a telephone, a motion sensor, and a microphone, making it the ultimate security gadget.  When a spy phone detects motion, it calls you and lets you listen in on the activity it has sensed.  If you don’t like what you hear, you can alert the police or other emergency workers.  For around $60, you can get a spy phone like TeleSpy.  TeleSpy operates from any phone line, requires no installation, and is completely portable.

Recording Devices

Increase your personal security with a covert audio recording device.  Spy gadgets used to record audio can come in the form of wristwatches, smoke detectors, and even pens.  These recording devices look like everyday objects, but record whatever you want.  They typically operate on batteries and can record hours of conversation.  Spy audio recorders range considerably in price depending on the sophistication of your equipment.  Some of these devices come with built-in cameras for visual recording as well.  Kits like the Mini Portable Security Recorder are priced around $250 and include both video and audio recorders.

Spy Stun Gun

Personal security devices like tasers and pepper spray are effective if you have time to properly use them.  But one of the latest developments in spy gadget technology is the lipstick stun gun.  Disguised as a harmless cosmetic, the lipstick stun gun delivers a charge of 350,000 volts to unsuspecting attackers.  Your assailant will think you are emptying the contents of your purse to get to your wallet and other valuables, but in reality you’ll buy the time to extract your secret stun gun and use it on the mugger.

Peephole Reverser

If you have a peephole on the door of your house or apartment, you understand how useful they can be for keeping predators out of your home.  But with a peephole reverser, you can make your existing peephole work even harder for you.  Simply place this clever gadget over the peephole from outside your home and look into the rooms inside.  Use this to scope out any potential threats or activity before entering your home – especially at night.

These spy gadgets are practical tools to be used for personal security or home and business safety.  Carefully consider your security needs before purchasing any of these devices since they are easy to misuse and abuse.  While interesting and fun, spy gadgets aren’t toys – meant for security and surveillance purposes, these spy gadgets mean serious business.
