GSM Bugs have been around for a few years now. When they first hit the market they literally were adapted mainstream mobile phones, in a black box, with certain functionality disabled and certain software/hardware alterations to make them behave in the required manner. Obviously ‘back in the day’ this new type of bugging system was the answer to many prayers for those who needed the facility to listen into a given room or area from miles, hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles away. These days customers expect that much more from the technology that they are investing in and so demand for smaller and smarter GSM units is higher than ever.

In response to the demand Spy Equipment UK have been savvy enough to source some excellent new GSM units that are very compact in size, with excellent sound quality and functionality. The latest in our range of GSM units is the GSM Key Fob Bug. This device literally is designed like a smart metal/plastic modern looking key fob. It has GSM internals, a sensitive microphone and a sound activation control facility giving it excellent verstility. The unit is so innocuous that it can happily be attached to a bunch of keys and hung up, left on a desk or a pot for total discreet remote listening.

The GSM Key Fob Bug really has to be one of the smallest and smartest GSM listening devices on the market and with a very competitive price a device of this quality is easily within reach of the majority of potential customers. The race for ever more compact GSM listening technology is not over yet, so keep an eye on our website for future developments.

Spy Equipment UK are always looking to add new quality products to the range and certainly over the last six to twelve months there have been a number of bodyworn camera recording solutions that have come onto the market that provide simple and discreet recording solutions. Here at Spy Equipment UK we have been evaluating emerging product lines and as a result we have now launched a high quality simple and robust covert camera device called the USB Mini Recorder.

This device is made from high quality materials and manufactured to a superb standard. The unit can be clipped into a top pocket which is the ideal height to record a face to face meeting because it looks from the outside like the wearer is carrying a marker pen in the top pocket. The unit could also be clipped into the outside pocket of a bag and this means that the camera can face the recording subject, whilst the operator can be looking elsewhere. Of course placement of this device is not limited to these two scenarios because the device is small enough to be concealed in many everyday objects.

Built into the clip is a decent resolution CMOS camera system and an excellent microphone. There is a concealed Micro SD Card slot taking a maximum card size of 2GB. The USB Mini Recorder captures video/audio onto the inserted SD card, which can be played back and stored onto a computer. Of course not having to rely on a rewritable internal memory means that original evidence does not have to be deleted.

All in all, the USB Mini Recorder is very simple to use and will appeal to both the professional investigator or the amateur sleuth. Whatever your requirement, the USB Mini Recorder is competitively priced and is sure not to break the bank.

Spy Equipment UK have made a new addition to the security section. The Flash Drive Personal Pocket Safe solves a identity theft problem that until now has remained a hot issue. At home most of us now are a bit more careful about the way we deal with our personal data because of identity theft issues. The UK public should be fully aware from media reports that identity theft is on the increase and crooks are always on the lookout for that crucial data that will turn information into cash.

Most of us have issues with remembering PIN numbers and so many people just use one for everything. Many of us have numbers and personal data stored on our mobile. Things disguised as phone numbers. How many of us are carrying around crucial personal data in a diary or personal organiser? All of these methods are insecure and open to abuse. Imagine having your apartment or room broken into whilst holidaying abroad. All of your identification documents are stolen and you credit and debit cards are also gone. How can you convince anybody who you are, let alone get a passport to get home?

The USB Personal Pocket safe solves all of these issues. Combine the portability of a USB flash drive with the security of high level encryption and a PIN to keep your private documents and vital data secure in this personal electronic safe.

The Personal Pocket Safe consists of a removable USB device that requires a PIN for access, which holds organisational software that offers a range of options for saving important information.

Plug it into a PC and input the code directly onto the USB unit to access your data and documents, but when you’ve finished, simply unplug it and there’s nothing is left on the computer – everything’s saved securely. The Personal Pocket Safe is virtually hack-proof, with the latest in encryption software and leaves nothing behind on the computer it’s been used on. However, if you do worry that you’ll forget your PIN you can back everything up online, and there’s also an optional PIN replacement assistance service available too.

It’s a smart way to organising and protecting your personal records that’s small and convenient enough to take with you wherever you go.

Spy Equipment UK are proud to announce that due to popular demand, we have been able to vastly reduce the prices on our mobile phone spy software packages. Now these are all at incredibly low prices and with new features.

When Spy Phone Software was released onto the market some three and a half years ago, it was extremely expensive. To have software that could duplicate an incoming or outgoing SMS message and forward it to a pre-determined number (Spy Text) would have cost in the region of £2000.00 per file. At that stage because there literally was nothing on the market to monitor mobile phone activity in this way, customers were forced to swallow hard and pay the price.

Spy Phone Software has evolved since that time and now Spy Equipment UK have the only real stable version at prices that everybody can afford. We are now able to offer text forwarding, spy phone function and call interception in one package (SpyDeluxe Package) at a price of only £99.00 + VAT and our new call/room recording software (SpyUltimate Package) which has all the features of SpyDeluxe + call/room recording is only £250.00 + VAT!

Coming very soon to the line-up is the same software available for Windows Mobile phones and Phone Tracking software and you can see that Spy Equipment UK have the best line up of spy phone software available on the market.

In previous posts we have looked at the very latest products in the PC surveillance market and the benefits they have given to this sector of the marketplace. Now we have decided to explain how they can be used in the real world, because here at Spy Equipment UK, we don’t just sell spy equipment, we like to provide solutions to a customers circumstances. Arguably Spy Equipment UK more than any other Spy Shop, has the most diverse range of solutions on offer.

Probably the most established are the Keyloggers. These come in USB and PS/2 formats and essentially are an in-line memory device that is placed between the Keyboard wire and the PC Base Unit. These devices are not picked up by anti-spyware or anti-virus programmes. They are designed to record every keystroke made on the PC to which they are attached. Commonly used to record conversations of children with a view to their security on the Internet, for monitoring employees who maybe acting illegally or for checking on partners who maybe having an illicit affair which incorporates communication via the Computer. These cannot be used on Laptop Computers

Coming a close second is the pure software solution. Spy Sure is the choice on offer here and this software has a set of very comprehensive tools including keystroke logging, e-mail capture, Instant Messenger Capture, Screen Shot Capture, Website Tracking as well as other blocking and monitoring tools. This solution comes on a disc with 1 licence for installation and so can only be used on one PC. It does offer a very comprehensive package, but it does mean that discreet checking of what it has recorded needs to be performed on the computer on which it is installed. This solution is ideal for monitoring children’s activity on the Computer or the activity of a cheating partner where there is shared access to the same PC or Laptop.

Next in line is the Global PC Spy. This is the perfect solution for remote live monitoring of Internet-connected Computers. This USB Stick contains the software than can be installed on up to 3 PC’s that need to be monitored. Installation takes about 60 seconds, after which the USB Stick is removed. Real-time monitoring can then be established from another Internet connected PC by plugging the USB Stick in. What results is that you are pretty much viewing what the monitored computer has on the screen. In addition, the Global PC Spy can record IM chat and e-mails, but doesn’t record keystrokes. This is ideal for monitoring live what employees are up to and again perfect for keeping an eye on childrens Internet activity when you have to be elsewhere.

Finally we have the latest device which is the KeyStealth. This unit is a software-based keylogger, with the software being held on a USB Stick. When uploaded to the Computer to be monitored the software can be installed and configured in about a minute and then the USB Stick removed. This product records all keystrokes and screenshots at a rate that you determine. To retrieve the information, then it is simply a matter of returning to the ‘Target PC’ where the stored data can be downloaded onto the USB stick for viewing there and then on the same PC or later on another Computer. This is the perfect keylogging tool because there is no physical item left inserted, which in turn means that it is ideal for use on Laptop Computers.

All PC Monitoring solutions can be catered for, so it really is a matter of what scenario dictates your choice.

Over the past 24 months Spy Equipment UK has welcomed a new addition to the Spy Camera family. 3G GSM Covert Cameras have added a new dimension the way that cameras can be used to remotely monitor targeted areas for any potential illegal or criminal activity.

Previously, there have only really two possible options for such remote covert camera monitoring. Firstly there are hard-wired board covert cameras can be connected to a network just in the same way that CCTV cameras can be monitored on remote sites, but this usually requires connection through a hard-drive recorder or a PC with specific PCI Card and supporting software. These system prove to be a relatively expensive option because of the cost of the hardware involved and expert installation fees. Secondly, there are wireless transmitting cameras, which in recent times have become more sophisticated with power saving and movement activation options. However, these cameras have restricted transmission range due to UK OFCOM restrictions and a further downfall is the fact that the transmission is not secure.

The 3G GSM cameras were first introduced into mobile phone technology, but now have been built into everyday objects including PIR’s and Smoke Detectors. The latest and most sophisticated addition to date has been SPY Equipment UK’s 3G Recording Clock Radio. This is specially designed for streaming real time audio and video footage back to your mobile phone or PDA from anywhere in the world where 3G coverage is supported. This stylish Sony DAB Radio operates as a fully functional digital clock to compliment any office or home environment and can be handled and displayed with complete confidence. Once set up, simply make a video call to the 3G SIM installed inside the radio (not included) and the connected call will display full-colour real-time footage with stereo audio directly on your handset. Should you wish, you can use your handset to remotely activate the recording function and store the evidential proof to a SD T-Flash Card within the clock radio.

So, if you are looking for a truly modern solution for remote camera site monitoring and recording, then the search is now over!

Spy Equipment UK have just released their latest covert tracking solution for hire and what a success it has already been! The latest in vehicle tracking devices is now available to hire rather than buy. After many requests by prospective customers, we are now offering our GPS Evolution magnetic tacking device for hire for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks.

This special bespoke tracking solution is the latest and most powerful vehicle surveillance solution on the market today, but with a purchase price of just under £730.00 the unique unit was out of reach of some customers who only had a short-term need for such a powerful tracking solution, which is normally the preserve of specialised users including the Police and Private Investigators. Spy Equipment UK have therefore decided to make the device available for short-term hire to cater for the needs of the temporary user. At £150 + VAT for a weeks hire, the unit is now accessible to a wider range of customers, who would otherwise have had to manage without the benefits that the GPS Evolution brings.

Already in the first few days of release, numerous customers have taken up the offer. So, if you have a need for the best covert tracking solution available, then why not log on to Spy Equipment UK to secure yours now.

Spy Equipment UK is proud to announce the addition of a downloadable catalogue for those customers who wish to have a paper-based brochure of all of the products that we offer.

The addition of the catalogue was as a result of repeated requests from past and present customers. Some customers are unable to access the Internet very often and as a result it is often difficult for them to spend enough time to peruse our entire product range. Now this is made easy with the addition of the catalogue. The forty four page PDF document gives pictures, brief descriptions, prices and product codes in a simple format. All or part sections of the catalogue can be printed to suit an individuals needs. For more detailed information on a product a re-visit to the Spy Equipment site will reveal further detail. On some products a data sheet has been added, again in a PDF downloadable and printable format. Only a small amount of products have data sheets at present, but this is being increased on a regular basis.

The Spy Equipment UK Catalogue is easy to find. Simply click on the link located on the lower left of each page to obtain your copy.

The Spy Equipment UK website is under constant review to make the experience of our visitors a pleasant, but informative one. One of the reasons why some new web-surfers hold back from purchasing on the Internet is the fact that it is often difficult to see what they are buying because they have been unable to see at close hand and handle the products that interest them. Here at Spy Equipment UK we are gradually adding videos to each of our products, which we feel demonstrate to our customers in more depth what in fact they will be purchasing. The additional information included in each of the videos helps our customers make an informed decision before they buy online.
On many previous occasions we have been asked for a catalogue of our product range. Previously we have not been able to provide a brochure/catalogue due to the fact that by keeping at the forefront of technology as it evolves; we add/improve our product range on almost a weekly basis. Therefore the cost of producing a printed catalogue in volume was not a cost-effective option. To circumvent this problem, Spy Equipment UK is now In the process of producing a downloadable brochure that can then be easily altered as the product range evolves. In addition to this, we are now adding data sheets to each of our products so that our customers can save/print off a fully detailed information sheet in a very presentable and easy-to read format.
If you have any suggestions that you think would enhance visitor experience to the Spy Equipment UK site, then we would be happy to hear your views.

Spy Equipment UK has just launched their most sophisticated counter-surveillance device yet. Commonly known as a Bug Sweeper, the SweepHawk Plus, which is one of the most comprehensive RF detection tools available, offers additional facilities to the, previous benchmark countermeasures system, the SweepHawk.
The Plus version does not supersede the original SweepHawk, which is still available, but instead it provides additional probes that are required to detect certain eaves-dropping equipment that form part of the armoury of a real technical surveillance specialist. The frequency scan range of the SweepHawk Plus has been extended up to 8 GHz to enable detection of the much specialised transmitting devices that are not so commonly available. In addition to this, the new system offers an Infrared/Laser Probe to enable detection of listening devices that use this very uncommon system. In addition to this is a Mains-Carrier Probe, which can detect a transmitter located anywhere along a mains power wiring system.
This entire system has been reworked to give improved sensitivity and pick up and is now able to disseminate between Analogue and Digital signals, thereby enabling easier identification of spurious frequencies present during a ‘bug sweep’. Contained in a purpose-built stylish case, the SweepHawk Plus provides a fully portable system that meets the latest requirements of the most professional Counter-Surveillance Specialist.
