If you’re a real security nut or maybe you just need a little bit of help finding the change you lost in the cushions, the Personal Metal Detector could be for you. The Hand-Held Personal Metal Detector is similar to the hand-held wands security personel might carry at an airport or other secure buildings except not quite as high quality.

It’s small enough for you to fit in your pocket and works very easily so you can give suspicious characters a metal-swipe before they come into your house ;). When the device is passed over a metal object it detects it by emitting a high-pitched tone as well as flashing a red LED indicator light to make sure you notice.

I’ve written about a few solar powered gadgets, motion sensing gadgets and security/spy cameras in the past, however here’s an amazing gadget which combines all three technologies! This security camera not only powers itself from the sun, it also can be programmed to record or alert you when it detects something moving!

When motion is detected, the camera’s PIR motion sensor immediately begins transmitting video and audio to the receiver. When the receiver receives the transmission it beeps twice then begins flashing an LED light for one minute so you will know when to watch what’s happening.

Here’s a very simple gadget which could make the difference between you getting your house robbed or not! This tricky little gadget looks just like a regular dome-shaped surveillance camera however it’s completely fake. If you don’t have the money to fork out for a complex surveillance system but you want to at least scare away people from trying anything funny this might do it.

I would bet that if you put one of these up in a very obvious place you would be able to stop anyone from stealing anything. I’m sure if someone was really intent on robbing a house they wouldn’t bother taking their chance with a camera even if it might be fake.

This phony yet effective little gadget is available for $19.99 from Smart Home. That’s a little cheaper than getting a complete system running ;).

I would have thought getting decent home surveillance would have cost a lot more, however this cheap kit gives you just about all you’d need to start watching your home and finding out who keeps eating all the cookies! The Mini-Air Watch 4 Wireless Camera Kit comes with four wireless cameras, a receiving station and a remote.

The cameras are all wireless and are tiny so they can easily be hidden or disguised. They can function within 100 feet of the receiver (300 feet outside) and broadcast detailed, color video as well as high quality audio to the wireless receiver at 2.4GHz.

Each camera can be assigned its own channel to make scanning through the cameras as easy as pressing buttons on the remote. They can also be set to scan through the channels automatically if you don’t feel like pushing a button every few seconds.

When I first saw this gadget, I thought it was too good to be true! I find this gadget almost puts the Spy Sunglasses to shame. The Wireless Bullet Camera is, as assumed, a wireless camera, with a highly sensitive microphone as well for audio.

The tiny camera has a built in 2.4 GHz transmitter which almost makes you wonder where they fit all the video and audio hardware! The receiver can receive data from the transmitter up to 25m away, or 50m outdoors! The included receiver comes with all the equipment you need to hook it up to a television or monitor at a safe distance to avoid detection. There are provided adapters for both the camera and the receiver, however the camera can just as easily be powered by a 9V battery.

Here’s another neat spying gadget, the spy sunglasses. The spy sunglasses record everything you see in front of you within a 92-degree field-of-view, allowing you to capture a much broader spectrum than you may be actually looking at. Your regular, direct vision captures only 3-degrees.

Wow! This is one of the coolest gadgets I’ve seen lately. Yet another case of ‘Why was this not invented already?’ It’s a pair of digital binoculars with a built in digital camera!

Perfect for when you are watching wildlife, now you can take a picture of the close up image and show other people of what you have seen. Gone are the days when you have to take a picture though a telescope!
