We know that coins can be used to play a prank on others by squirting water, but here is something much more serious. It allows you to store precious information within without giving the game away. Do you have a microSD memory card containing risqué images of your weekend that you do not want anyone else to see, ever? Well, store it within the Hollow Spy Coin, of course! You can use it as a form of currency without being detected or charged for fraud, although that wouldn’t make real financial sense since the nickel alone will cost $30.
Hollow Spy Coins for those on a mission
November 11th, 2008 by Edwin in Spy StuffRecon Scout is ready for dangerous undercover surveillance work
October 31st, 2008 by Mark R in Digital Cameras, Remote Control, Spy Stuff
The Recon Scout looks like it has borrowed its design from the Sony Rolly, but it is able to take video footage instead of playing music.
The Recon Scout, designed by a Minneapolis-based company called ReconRobotics, is a durable little mobile camera designed to roll along the floor. It is a discrete way of getting video footage in hostile territory, and has already been successfully tested in war zones like Iraq. It even has an infrared camera with night vision for shooting in the dark.
According to Popular Mechanics, the Recon Scout is planned to be tested in prisons. That way, you could send it into areas where no one would want to go, and it will scan some areas discreetly. Now this is way to see what prison life is like. So, the next time a prisoner drops his soap in the shower, he can bend over and…see the Recon Scout.
Sneakey allows you to duplicate a key from a mere photograph
October 31st, 2008 by Mark R in Conceptual Gadgets, Photography, Spy Stuff
The Sneakey sounds like some spy technology plucked out of a James Bond movie, but it is close to becoming real.
The Sneakey uses teleduplication, which is a way of extracting a normal key’s complete and precise “tooth pattern” at a distance using optical decoding and then cutting precise duplicates. In other words, a camera can take a picture of key from a distance, and from the high resolution photo, the photographer will have the information necessary to make a perfect copy of the photographed key.
Minox’s Agent M Digital Belt Camera
October 21st, 2008 by Ally in Spy Stuff
If you’re aspiring to be a super secret spy at some point in your life then you’ll need the equipment to go with the job. No one can be a true spy without the proper tools. Well Minox is selling a seemingly innocent belt that happens to have a hidden camera built into it. The belt can record videos, which will likely be every perv’s dream. I’m sure with this in hand many teen boys would love a chance to accidentally walk into the girl’s locker room and then have the recording to enjoy for years to come.
Air Freshener spies on others
September 17th, 2008 by Edwin in Audio/Video Gadgets, Spy Stuff
The next time a “buddy” of yours passes you a gift in the form of an air freshener, be wary. Who knows, it could actually contain the circuitry of a hidden spy camera inside? That’s what this Air Freshener from Spycatcher Online does anyway.
A covert 3G color camera and microphone are discretely built into this common domestic air freshener, allowing the user to receive both crisp picture, and excellent sound from anywhere in the world where there is 3G service. Gone are the days where range is important and you can only see images within a 100m radius, on a good day, now you can see and hear not only from another town or Country but also from another Continent. This is a very special piece of equipment, modified by our own engineers and is ideal for security-related situations where clear, and reliable images and sound are essential without the problems of being in range and maybe spotted by the target. Because of its clever disguise this item can easily be moved from room to room without attracting undue attention.
This unique spy Air Freshener has approximately 1.7 hours of monitoring or 300 hours of standby on a full battery charge. I suppose it functions as a bona fide air freshener as well – after all, I’d hate paying £895 for this without it being able to do so.
Robotic Spyplanes have Medical uses too
September 15th, 2008 by Mark R in Electronic Gadgets, GPS gadgets, Medical Gadgets, Remote Control, Remote Control Toys, Robot Gadgets, Spy Stuff
This isn’t the first time that we have reported on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and most of the time, these are used for spying in enemy territory. It appears that UAVs have medicinal uses as electronic flying couriers.
Think of them as that big G button on Speed Racer’s Mach 5 that fires an electronic homing pigeon. It was used on the cartoon all the time, but only mentioned in the movie. (By the way, the Speed Racer movie is coming out on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow, and you should invest your money in a film that was incredibly awesome and yet was somehow a box-office flop.)
Sorry for digression, but I thought the Speed Racer reference would give you a good idea what these electronic courier pigeons do. These things can be programmed to carry medical supplies to and fro to places that don’t have advanced hospitals, such as Third World countries.
Calculator Spycam can do the math on spywork
September 8th, 2008 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, Office Gadgets, Spy Stuff
From what I’ve seen of James Bond lately, he doesn’t seem to visit Q’s lab anymore. If this new Daniel Craig James Bond should ever drop by Q’s lab in the new film that comes out in November, he might be impressed by the Calculator Spycam.
Yes, the calculator Spycam is exactly what you think it is, a calculator with a miniature camera mounted on it. While I’m not certain whether the side is a good spot for the lens, it would be the last place most people would look for it.
In addition to the handy calculator, the Calculator Spycam comes with some other bonus features. It comes with a 2.4 inch LCD display for viewing, and it can store of up 2GB of memory via SD cards.
CSI Stick takes the info out of your cell phone
September 4th, 2008 by Mark R in Mobile Phones, Spy Stuff
I’m not certain whether this latest spy gadget should really be branded with the “CSI” initials, as it is more like something the NSA would use. However, I’ll humor Paraben, the company that makes the CSI Stick, with an episode of CSI where the CSI Stick comes into play.
Let’s say that Grissom has a suspect, and in order to find out more information about him, they attach the CSI Stick into the suspect’s cellular phone. They will soon have access to the incriminating data on that cell phone.
This is premise of the CSI Stick, and now Grissom will be able to see any calls placed or text messages sent or received. The CSI Stick can also make a logical copy of this data for further investigation, if needed.
