SecureShot clock is nanny-cam with Atomic Clock

November 16th, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, Cool Clocks, Spy Stuff

nannycam-thumb-542x426-28461This next product must be for those who really want more control in their life. The SecureShot is a way for you to watch others, and it has an atomic clock.

I suppose you could call it a Nanny-cam, just like the one seen in Meet the Parents and The Nanny Diaries. Unlike the cameras put on stuffed animals, this one looks like an ordinary clock.

Assuming you think that an atomic clock is ordinary. Yes, this is one of those clocks that will always be accurate, and if the batteries run out, the clock will be back on time when they get replaced. Looks like it can also do the temperature as well.

Brando’s SPY Wireless Camera Pen comes with PMP

November 11th, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, Spy Stuff

WirelessSpyCamPen_11_640xThis would not be the first time we reported on a Spy Camera Pen, and it probably won’t be the last, either. Normally, spy stuff made for the consumer looks pretty shabby compared to the technology in James Bond or Mission Impossible movies, but this one from our old friends at Brando looks quite decent.

The SPY Wireless Camera Pen + PMP comes in two parts, a transmitter and a receiver. The Transmitter is the pen itself, that transmits with 2.4 GHz. It has a rechargeable battery powered by USB and shoots 640 x 480 video with a lens that no one would ever see unless they looked really close. The lens is positioned perfectly for secret shooting in one’s breast pocket.

The receiver is essentially a PMP with a 3.5 inch screen. Not only can it pick up what the camera is seeing, but it is good for playing all kinds of formats, such as MP3, WMA, MP4, FLV, not to mention JPEGs and e-books. It has 2GB worth of memory built in to it, and expandable with the TF/Micro SD Card slot. It also has a TV out so you can see what you want on a bigger screen.

The Next Room Eavesdropping Device

November 5th, 2009 by Ally in Spy Stuff

Next-Room-Eavesdropping-Device

Listening in on the neighbors is always way too tempting to resist.  If your walls are just a little too thick, you can pick up this handy gadget to help you out.  Instead of trying the usual trick of pressing a glass against the wall, you could have an actual gadget do the job.  Plus, this is far more portable than carrying around a glass.  Although keep in mind, the seller does warn that some countries do actually prohibit the ownership of spy devices.  Which makes it seem all the more awesome.

CanCam lets your soda do the watching

November 2nd, 2009 by Mark R in Digital Cameras, Spy Stuff

spycokecan-thumb-550x550-27623We at Coolest Gadgets are no stranger to seemingly ordinary items that conceal spy cameras. The most recent was the fake car key from Brando. This one is very unusual, as it is a can of Coke, something that I would never suspect would try to film me.

This CanCam has 4GB worth of memory to record VGA quality video that can support 15 hours of continuous recording. As you can see, the lens is located slightly below the logo.

The on and off switch is located underneath the can itself, as well as the record button. There is a USB port there to help charge the camera, and is presumably there to download the video footage as well. It even has a remote control for even more secrecy.

October 30th, 2009 by James in GPS gadgets, Spy Stuff
Drop this into your child's backpack and keep track of them where ever they go.

Drop this into your child's backpack and keep track of them where ever they go.

There’s a nifty little device being sold at Best Buy which keeps track of your kids everywhere they go. It’s called the Little Buddy GPS Tracker and it uses global satellite positioning and cellphone technnology to help parents keep track of kids. And the best part is, parents can place the Little Buddy just about anywhere from backpacks to lunch boxes to even stick it into their pockets when they aren’t looking.

Fake Car Key with hidden spy camera

October 25th, 2009 by Ally in Spy Stuff

Fake-Car-Key-Spy-Camera_1

Brando always seems to think they need about 20 different choices for miniature spy cameras.  Although I can appreciate the overabundance of selection, at some point it almost becomes overkill.  However, at least you’ll never find yourself wishing for more choices when you’re looking for a spy camera to catch someone in the act with.  Now here’s another fake car key with a tiny camera hidden within.

The Tiny Spy Camcorder Clock

October 8th, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks, Home Gadgets, Spy Stuff

DVRClock_01_640x

There are all types of spy gadgets out there, the trick is finding the one that blends in the most with your style.  After all, if you have top of the line electronics everywhere, a cheap alarm clock is going to stand out.  If you have very sparse college room type furniture then a tissue box holder with a camera in it is probably going to raise some eyebrows.  Well this tiny clock is just one of the many ways you can spy on people while you’re away.

Spy Keylogger

September 16th, 2009 by Edwin in Office Gadgets, PC Gadgets, Spy Stuff, USB Gadgets

spy-keyloggerWant to know what’s going on behind the scenes with your desktop at work whenever you leave the office? The Spy Keylogger ought to come in handy, featuring 2MB of internal memory to store all the keystrokes made whenever you’re not around. Of course, it works with most wired keyboards, so those who are using wireless keyboards will be able to get away scot free. With devices like these getting more and more commonplace, we would recommend you check out the back of your desktop the moment you clock in for work just in case someone is snooping around your office activity, trying to garner a password or two from you in the process.

These keyloggers act as the “man-in-the-middle,” monitoring each keystroke as it flies down your cable into your computer. You notice nothing, since every key you type gets dutifully reproduced on your screen. Somewhere, however, you’ve got a sneaky person quietly recording everything, just waiting for you to step away for a few minutes so they can retrieve the offending device and play back everything. The logger saves every keystroke into onboard memory. To read the contents, remove the logger and connect it to your own computer and keyboard. Typing in a password into any text-editor begins the memory-dump process.

Available in USB or PS/2 interface models, the Spy Keylogger will retail for $59.99 and $74.99, respectively.
