Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR

by Ally - on February 11, 2010

As a kid you always dream of those ultimate spy toys that allow for you to torture your siblings.  As an adult you might still want them, but it’s doubtful that you’ll feel reassured living with a  kid that owns one of those serious spy gadgets.  This TRAKR would be a whole lot of fun, just as long as you’re the one controlling it.  It’d be pure misery for anyone around you that doesn’t possess something like this.

Armatix pistol won’t fire without the watch nearby

by Mark R - on February 1, 2010

armatix-.22-pistol-1I have never heard of the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show, but I think it is just hysterical that it abbreviates to SHOT. It sounds like a fictional group in some anti-gun propaganda film.

Anyway, during SHOT, a German company known as Armatix had a smartgun like I have never seen before. This pistol is programmed not to fire unless you get a wireless arming signal from a special wristwatch.

As you can see from the photo, there is a green light. It means you can fire the gun. A red light means you can’t fire it. I’m not certain if the red warning light should mean that the gun will fire, so don’t mix up the light colors. The lights on the gun remind me of the phasers in the last Star Trek film.

iPod-like Mini Spy Camera Camcorder

by Ally - on January 26, 2010

spywebcam2

This may look like yet another dorky iPod knock off that will never look as good as the original, but it has an extra angle.  This fake iPod doesn’t play any music, instead it spies on everyone around you.  Sure, it’s less than subtle when there’s a hole right in the center of what looks like it should be a screen, but if the people you’re spying on are complete morons you’ll be just fine.

Playboy Belt Buck With Built-In Spy Camera

by Ally - on January 21, 2010

Spy-Camera-Belt-21-300x252

This is isn’t the first spy camera I’ve come across that’s placed inside a belt buckle, but this is definitely the most classy way to pull it off.  Nothing says elegant like a Playboy Bunny belt buckle.  Then to give it a whole new level of chic, you throw in a spy camera right at waist height.  With this belt you’ll be ready to go for your next night of expensive strippers and keep up your reputation as the local peeping tom.

Thunder Generator creates some wicked shockwaves

by Mark R - on January 20, 2010

sonic_noisemakerblaster-thumb-550x207-32284Do you know what you are looking at? It looks like a firehose, doesn’t it? You know how firehoses can disperse crowds? This device, known as the Thunder Generator, can also disperse crowds, and can do a better job.

The Thunder Generator uses ordinary sound with liquid petroleum, cooking gas, and air to create explosions that can create such a shockwave, that they can literally blow people away.

That is, if a person is standing close enough, say, 30 feet, it could kill that person. If a person is standing at the other end of a football field, than they will be stunned by the blast.

Watch out for ATM Skimmers

by Mark R - on January 19, 2010

skim1-2I never heard of an ATM Skimmer before today, but now that I have, I am scared. It reminds me of the time when I heard about the identity thieves that supposedly dig in your garbage to get your personal information. I’ve been shredding my bills ever since.

The ATM Skimmer is most certainly a cool gadget, unless you are a victim of it. As you can see by the illustration, it is a slot that is designed to fit over an ordinary ATM card reader of your typical ATM.

This particualr one was found on a Citibank ATM in Woodland Hills, California. When a customer went to withdraw some cash, little did he or she know that his or her card was scanned by a thief. The Skimmer also had a tiny camera to record the user as he or she entered his or her PIN number. I would imagine that the thief probably planned to have retrieved the Skimmer, and started printing phony ATM cards. Then the scoundrel would have gone and made some seriously illegal withdrawals.

You’ve probably seen all types of spy cameras by now.  Well now there’s a device for those of you that are paranoid that someone is keeping an electronic eye pointed directly at you.  Just pull out this not so subtle device and you’ll know for sure.  Of course with this big bulky thing, they’ll also know that you know.  At least you’ll finally know the dreaded truth though.  You’ll either find that you are being watched or that you’re just an incredibly paranoid human being.

For those of you that enjoy listening to conversations at a safe distance, now you can have a gadget to help you out with that.  You can also watch intently through the built-in monocular.  Of course this could be used for things besides spying.  For nature lovers you could sit in the woods and watch a far off deer or listen to the birds.
