Spy gadgets are cool and a great use for the latest minature technology. We report on all the latest spy stuff that we can find, including spy cameras, lock picks and other cool stuff. Found a new spy gadget that we haven’t, please let us know
Question: What do Batman, Spider-man, and Tarzan have in common?
Answer: They both travel via swinging, and so can you.
Digital Force Technologies actually invented something straight from the movies and my adventurous dreams with the T-PLS pneumatic “tactical line-throwing system”. I don’t know about you, but when I saw the photo here, my eyes practically bulged out. All I could think of was: “Wow, someone finally invented a grappling hook gun”.
This is a sneaky way to bug a room, a picture frame with a built in microphone that you can phone up and listen to what’s going on.
This larger sized picture frame (which you can add your own picture to) may be hung on a wall in a room of your choice. You can then dial the number of the GSM bug built into the rear of the frame - the call will connect silently after two rings and you will be able to hear whats going on in the room…from anywhere in the world!
The picture frame costs $129.99 (~$250) and comes with a SIM card but it doesn’t say if there are any ongoing subscription costs.
Secret agents are often at the forefront of technology, and the 3G Vest is no different. This unique apparel relies on a cell phone’s 3G network to transmit live video over the Internet, enabling the spy’s supervisor to monitor his movement while providing essential tactical instruction almost instantaneously. Kinda reminds me of a video game where you get a top down view on your team as the boss. A CF card is used to store both video and audio footage, while a panic alarm sends an instant distress signal to the team or supervisor for immediate assistance. Hopefully James Bond doesn’t use this to record illicit videos…

Is someone out to get you? Perhaps the government has reason to be looking in on your daily activities. More than likely no one is looking in on your every move, it’s just paranoia. However, if you’re convinced that someone is prying into your personal life, you might want to pick up this Hidden Camera Detector for some peace of mind.
Do you enjoy the thought of spying on your loved ones? I can’t really say that I’m a fan of it, but I suppose if you’re an overprotective parent, you’ll go to great lengths to keep track of your teen. If you happen to be both overprotective and a tech junkie, I really feel sorry for your kids, as I have little doubt that you would put this X1 GPS tracking system to use in their vehicle.
There are a couple of ways to spy on other people, and one of the best is to use a spy camera. Needless to say, the camera in questions must not bring a lot of attention to itself, otherwise the spying plan goes down the toilet, and you will need to get another way to work as an undercover agent.
With that being said, the Puppy Wireless Spy Camera, which is a recent addition at Brando, looks like the gadget that can get the job done.

FLIR systems make a range of night vision cameras that can be added to your boat (pictured), car or used in a security context.
FLIR (Forward Looking Infra Red) cameras let you see in total darkness. I can see this being handy in some situations, such as marine navigation - they don’t exactly put street lights on the ocean!
It’s also offered as an aftermarket addon for cars. FLIR systems can see further than conventional headlights so you get more warning of obstacles ahead. It could also offer you an advantage in foggy conditions too - visible and IR systems react differently to fog so you’d get a second view of the road.
You’re looking at around the $4000-$4500 mark fully installed into your car, unless you have a recent high end BMW in which case the factory option is "only" $2500. Pricey, but very neat!
Now, if only somebody would combine this with a head up display to superimpose the night vision picture on the windscreen. That would be pretty cool. BMW, are you listening…?
The RADAR system is designed to let parents keep an eye on their kids’ cellphone activity. You start by installing their software on the phone (it supports most of the major platforms and more are on the way) and signing up for an account on the website www.mymobilewatchdog.com. Once you’ve done that, the phone sends a copy of every text or photo sent and received to your (i.e. the parent’s) cell, plus you get a record of phone calls made and received.
The system as demonstrated seemed to work pretty well and the website gives you lots of options to whitelist/blacklist contacts so you don’t get bothered every time the child contacts a known/trusted friend.
To assuage privacy fears the software puts a screensaver up every 24 hours that has to be acknowledged, to let the user know that their phone is being monitored ("Protected by RADAR").
I’m in two minds about this one. The system seems reasonably priced at $9.95/month and does what it says on the tin, but I think it’s a sad world that considers it necessary.
