Spy Equipment UK are proud to announce the launch of a new voice recorder with a difference. We have all seen voice recorders built into a working pen. These pens are usually a little fatter than a standard pen and ahve a voice reording function built-in. Spy Equipment UK’s latest offering incorporates voice recording technology into a pen of a normal size. This has the obvoius advantage of not giving any indication that there is anything different about the pen. More importantly, the recording technology incorporated has a voice activation facility. This of course results in conserving recording memory space, prolonging battery life and of course only recording when there is sound to be recording in the area that the pen is placed.

switching the unit on and off is discreetly incorporated into the pen clip, so there are no extra obvious buttons for operation. There internal memory will hold up to 18 hours of recording with three options for recording quality. Recordings can be played back via USB connection on a Windows PC or discreetly through supplied headphones.

Whether you want to use this pen as a digital dictaphone or for recording that meeting in complete discetion as an evidence gathering tool, this pen is class leader in the art if discrete recording.

Spy Equipment UK are proud to announce the signing of a new contract with Redweb Security for distribution of Redweb’s range of curtting edge tracking devices. Although previously Spy Equipment UK offered some of Redwebs’ tracking devices as part of the range, now as official distributor, Redwebs’ entire range is now being marketed by Spy Equipment UK. With a bigger range of GPS trackers including asset and covert vehicle tracking devices than ever before. There is now a GPS tracking device for almost every application. Whether you want to protect expensive assets from Plant Equipment, Caravans, Trailers or maybe cars and motorcycles, there is now a device to cater for almost all needs.

Whatever your need. Todays technology has meant that looking after your precious assets has never been easier. With reductions in size, increase in battery life and the incorporation of intelligent microprocessor-driven technology, the latest devices perform in such a way that a few years ago would have seemed impossible.

Redweb security has already established a reputation for supplying class-leading security and surveillance products to Police Services and large corporate organisations throughout the UK and Ireland. Now the link-up with Spy Equipment UK will bring these products to a wider audience and with the benefit of closer customer back-up and support, there has never been a better time to buy the latest tracking technology.

The Pentagon has revealed plans for a surveillance aircraft that will fly more than 12 miles above the ground for 10 years without landing. The 450ft-long (137-metre) craft will be developed at a cost of $400m (£260m), with a prototype one-third of that length due to be ready by 2014.

The US military hopes the blimp, floating 12 miles above a surveillance area in near space, will give it a better understanding of events on the ground. It will be equipped with a radar system able to provide unprecedented detail over a wide area from hundreds of miles away. The craft - called Isis - will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells recharged by its own solar panels, and will be filled with helium, which will give the craft its shape.

Spy Equipment UK utilises up-to-date imagery taken by Satellite to give a clear and comprehensive visual representation of vehicle tracking systems. Spy Equipment UK have now added three new trackers to the line up. The GPS Matriax is a superb asset tracker with a battery life of up to 7 years giving excellent flexibility of use. The GPS Revolution is believed to be the smallest live GPS tracker available. This unit with give live tracking reports every 15 seconds and is the perfect short-term deployment asset tracking device. Why wait until 2014 when you could have your own eye-in-the-sky.

The ongoing worldwide financial crisis has affected the personal lives of the general public on many levels. Even when making decisions about resolving difficulties in their personal relationships, the average member of the public has had to become more savvy about how they spend their hard-earned cash. During the early weeks and months of the ‘credit crunch’ difficult decisions had to be taken by those whose marriage or relationship was affected by suspicions of infidelity. The result at this time for most was to remain in an unhappy situation because financial restrictions meant that an expensive separation or divorce did not seem viable.

More recently, aggrieved partners have turned Amateur Detective in a bid to gather evidence to resolve their personal circumstances. The result has been a shift from clients instructing Private Detectives to spy on their partners to clients taking matters into their own hands to solve their situation on a budget. Women in particular tend to be willing to turn amateur ‘Pivate-Eye’ prior to looking for spy gadgets to resolve the matter outright.

Spy Equipment UK has recognised the trend and as such continually strives to make the comprehensive range of spy equipment on offer more accessible to everyone. It is often difficult to make a decision on what product to buy. Fear of new technology is commonplace, so Spy Equipment UK has added videos to many products showing their ease of use. Add to this excellent advice over the telephone or by e-mail and then anybody has the chance to turn Private Detective at a fraction of the cost of employing a real one.

Business leaders are reporting an increase in theft from the workplace and of goods in transit. Statistics confirm that there was a marked increase just leading up to ‘The Credit Crunch’ and this has continued to increase throughout the period of economic downturn. As businesses start shedding staff and margins become tighter, the increase in losses due to theft and fraud have added insult to injury. 

Spy equipment UK has noted an increase in enquiries from business leaders who are aiming to reduce their losses to effectively ensure that matters do not spiral out of control. Within the work environment Employers have singled-out covert and hidden camera installations as an effective evidence gathering tool in the fight against theft within the workplace. Logistics companies are focusing on vehicle and asset tracking devices for trailers and expensive merchandise in transit. GSM Cameras that allow remote viewing into the Drivers Cab and Trailers are being chosen as the perfect remote monitoring device protecting Drivers and assets in transit.

Spy Equipment purchases to protect company assets and integrity have not just been limited to spy cameras and tracking equipment. Voice Recorders, Computer Monitoring Equipment and slick GSM Listening Devices have all been snapped up by Employers looking at clawing back the advantage. Other Employers seem at a loss as to what action to take, but whilst they procrastinate, the losses must surely be mounting…

Here at Spy Equipment UK we are continually evaluating our pricing structure. Customers sometimes consider that some items that we stock have a relatively high price compared to other similar products on the market and our products are invariably higher in price than everyday electronic products available at high street shops. So, why is this?

There are a number of things to consider here. The product range that is offered by Spy Equipment UK has been specifically chosen only after rigorous testing and evaluation to ensure that we can offer items of  quality with ease of use. This means that if you see a similar product to one on our site that is offered substantially cheaper elsewhere, then it will almost certainly be a lower quality item. You may find similar products for sale on auction sites, but it should be remembered that Spy Equipment UK offer a guarrantee, expertise and of course support over the telephone or via e-mail.

So why are Spy Shop products generally more highly-priced than other non-spy electronic products offered at high street stores? Well, you will not find products at the high street chains that can give the same facilities that specialised spy equipment items can. Generally available electronic goods are manufactured in the millions whereby the specialist-built spy equipment products are manufactured in the thousands so design and tooling costs over much smaller batch runs make the end product price much higher - so in summary what you are buying are a range of high quality specialist-built products that cannot be purchased at the high street electrical retailers.

Since starting life as a Private Investigator in April 2000, I was constantly asked for various types of tracking device. Requests from Clients ranged from a tracking device to place under a vehicle to a small enough piece of tracking equipment that could be concealed in a persons clothing. Since the 1970’s any major film release with Spy connotations would include the use of incredibly small tracking devices and as a result, the Publics’ belief has been that this type of equipment was available if you knew where to look or who to ask.

Up until the advent of GPS Tracking, any tracking devices relied upon the use of Radio Frequency transmitting devices in conjunction with a Receiver to give a location position based on signal strength and direction. GPS Trackers for the commercial fleet sector brought vehicle tracking into a new dimension of accuracy, but with advances in technology tracking units have now become more sensitive, versatile and at the same time, substantially smaller.

In 2005 the first proper ‘under-vehicle’ magnetic tracking device was commercially available at a price in the region of £5000.00 including mapping software. In the latter part of 2006 a much more affordable ‘under-vehicle’ tracking solution was released and although fairly crude, it brought covert trackers to a much wider audience. Since this time, further advances in GPS, GSM, Computer and Battery Technology have resulted in smaller, more powerful devices coupled to incredibly comprehensive Web-based tracking consoles.

Spy Equipment UK’s TracWolf Advance has just been upgraded with a new more powerful Battery Pack giving, on average, between five and six weeks of tracking between recharges, yet still maintaining live tracking updates every 15 seconds when on the move. And coupled to our cutting-edge tracking platform, there really is nothing else available to beat it on performance and value.

Spy Equipment UK are ready to unleash two new tracking devices onto the market that will almost revolutionise GPS Tracking. Consistently, the main questions asked by our customers are:

• What is the size of the device?
• How long will the battery last?
• Can I connect to the device live?

One of the new tracking devices, although extremely small, has a potential battery life of up to 7 years. This very slimline unit has a variety of intelligent features that makes it perfect for long-term installation in Caravans, Trailers, Plant/Construction equipment. The second tracking unit is, we believe, the smallest live GPS Tracking Device available on the market! Although this unit has limited battery life, it is ideal for tracking of assets, briefcases, bags, packages and many other applications, where concealment of a tracking unit is of the utmost importance.

Both of the new trackers have the ability to track live and give full history reports, operating on Spy Equipment UK’s own comprehensive web-based tracking platform.

Spy Equipment UK are just about to release a new range of Asset Trackers to compliment their existing range of Vehicle Tracking Devices and personal/VIP Trackers. . The new units will operate on the existing tracking platform used by the TracWolf tracking units. This will enable existing customers to add to their range of tracking devices without the need to get used to new software.

Both units will be Quad Band, so are fit for deployment and use worldwide. One of the units has the ability to enter a deep-sleep mode to save battery life. The result is a potential battery life of up to 3 years. This device is perfect for periodic tracking of assets on long-haul journeys where frequent reporting is not needed and is perfect for caravans, Trailers, etc.. The second unit is extremely small and designed for short term deployment of up to 3 days, where regular locations are required to ensure a prized asset is not lost, or can be recovered if stolen in transit.

Spy Equipment UK have just announced the release of their latest Computer Surveillance product. The ‘next generation’ in Keyloggers, the Spy Cobra is used in a completely different way to the traditional keyloggers that have been around for a number of years now.

The traditional units are inserted between the keyboard wire and the base unit of a PC. The traditional Keystroke Loggers would record every key that was typed on the keyboard on which it was installed. The information would be retained on the internal ‘flash drive’ memory. These units have restrictions - They cannot be used on wireless keyboards, they cannot be used on Laptop Computers, they are not configured for Windows Vista and the Keylogger had to be left in-line and therefore was open to discovery.

The Spy Cobra unit works in a different way. It is essentially a USB stick with a flash memory and integrated software program. The software takes less than a minute to install and configure and the unit does not have to be left in the PC. Keystrokes and screenshots are stored in a stealth file on the PC being monitored. When returning to the PC being monitored, the Spy Cobra is inserted again and the information from the stealth file is then transferred from the PC onto the Spy Cobra. The information can be reviewed at leisure on a separate PC. In short, the new Spy Cobra takes Keylogging to the next stage, without any of the pitfalls of traditional keyloggers.

This unit is the perfect, affordable, tool for Parents to ‘keep an eye on’ their childrens’ Internet activity and for Employers to monitor employees who are misusing company Computers.
