The Different Types of Covert Hidden Spy Camera Systems In the ten-plus years that we have been retail surveillance equipment, vehicle tracking gadgets and spy cameras, we have seen a dramatic evolution in engineering combined with a substantial decrease in price throughout the board. The most substantial evolution that we have witnessed is that in the area of concealed spy cameras. In less than a decade, the “nanny cam” has gone from being a clumsy piece of less-than-reliable instrumentation to a stealthy electronic work of art. Let’s talk about the evolution of spy cameras from where there were just a few short years ago to where they are now. Transmitter to Receiver to VCR The initial nanny cam that we fictitious and sold was our most usual spy camera scheme for the better half of the decade starting in 2000. The cube clock radio model outsold all other variations of this conception combined. Even altho we cloaked spy cams in plants, teddy bears, books, lamps, exit signs and innumerable other items, the clock radio accounted for more than ninety percent of our overall spy camera sales. State of the art at the time, this generation of spy camera was still a bit cumbersome. The “guts” of the clock radio contained two main components; one tiny pinhole spy video camera and one wireless transmitter. When a client purchased a nanny cam scheme from us, or any other online spy store, they received more than just a clock radio that was ready to record. Along with the clock radio itself that contained the camera and transmitter, they were also provided with a receiver, A/V cables and an adaptor to power the four-channel receiver. The tricky part came when it was time to actually set up the spy camera system. The provided receiver had to be plugged into either a monitor someplace nearby or, into a VCR if the client wanted to record the events that transpired as the nanny cam was engaged. This required the user to place a VCR someplace in the house within 100 feet of the camera’s emplacement in another room or on another floor altogether. The included receiver was then plugged into the VCR and the user hit the “record” button. Showtime…well, not exactly. A standard VCR cassette may only record up to regarding eight hours maximum, which brings about a problem. Let’s say that a couple wants to keep an eye on the nanny for the duration of the day when they are at work. Prior to leaving the house in the morning, they plug in the nanny cam spy camera and turn on the VCR to start out recording. Upon arriving home at the end of the day, if they want to review the actions of the day, they ought to fast-forward through eight hours of video tape, galore times looking at nothing. At the time, this was the only means available to check on the nanny, baby sitter or caregiver. This each day routine was tedious at best. Fortunately, technology soon evolved. Motion-Activation The conception of motion-activation was a major breakthrough in the spy camera industry. Although the technology has existed for decades, it wasn’t until the mid 2000′s that it became available (and affordable) for each day consumers. No longer did the client have to scroll through innumerable hours of blank VHS tape in order to find that not one thing eventful was captured that day. Now, with a motion-activated spy camera, you were only recording when there was action in the room. If there was not one thing happening, then there was no recording. As a result, the user might only have to review 30 or 60 minutes of tape, rather than eight hours of for the most part static recording. Another engineering that complimented the motion-activation feature of the spy camera was the increasing popularity of the DVR, which has now all but totally substituted the VCR. With a DVR, there was no tape involved since everything was now being recorded digitally, frame by frame. The advent of motion-activation combined with the comfortableness of the DVR made spy camera users very happy. When it seemed like things couldn’t improve much more, engineering bettered the spy camera once again. Built-in DVR’s and Micro SD Cards The need for a self-contained, all-in-one spy camera scheme was there, and by around 2006, the solution arrived. To everyone’s delight, the motion-activated spy camera with a built-in internal memory and micro SD card slot for further and added recording time was now available to the public. Wireless transmitters, receivers, VCR’s and VHS cassettes were now obsolete. This new generation of concealed spy cameras permitted the user to “arm” the device and leave for days or weeks at a time. When it was time to review what the spy camera had recorded, the user merely got rid of the SD card for the camera and plugged it directly into the USB card reader on his or her computer. Since the camera only records when there is action in the area, reviewing what has been captured has become a quick and easy process. Most people, including yours truly, thought “how could a spy camera get any better?” which brings us to the latest generation of spy cam technology. Remote Live Viewing Just when you thought that a better spy camera would be totally unlikely to create, out comes the latest technology featuring live, remote-viewing capabilities. With this new platform, your laptop computer now becomes both a server and a DVR. How it works: The user places the spy camera in his home, office or any other setting he wishes to record and stream live video from. For example, a guy owns a restaurant in Key West but many times travels to Los Angeles to meet with suppliers. He still wants to keep an eye on his business when he is on the road, so he installs assorted of our live, remote-view video camera schemes on the premises. Now, from anyplace on the planet that offers an internet connection, he may log on to his remote spy camera scheme and watch live what is happening at his establishment. He may likewise simultaneously record onto his computer what the camera captures 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These cameras may be hard-wired directly to the computer or function wirelessly. All that is required is for the software program to be loaded and a little receiver to be plugged directly on the US B port of the computer on the premises. This technology also comes in handy for parents of teenagers who are left at home unsupervised, husbands or wives who may suspect the other of cheating or infidelity and adult children of elderly residents in long-term care facilities. The apps for live remote-view spy cameras are almost unlimited. What’s Next? Every time we think that technology can not perchance improve, we are always amazed in the advances we see, exceptionally when it comes to concealed wireless spy camera systems. We are always excessively affected emotionally when new spy gimmicks are introduced to the marketplace. When that happens, you may be sure that Spy Gear Pros will be at the forefront to offer the latest and greatest covert surveillance instrumentation productions to our customers. |
