Some say “espionage,” others say “information collection,” and others say “security.” Today, technology allows you to look after a colleague, neighbor, lover or business partner. Just don't violate other people's constitutional rights.

PIR Camera and Receiver is a wireless digital camera that can receive and broadcast video or audio signals over a distance of up to 75 m. The device is equipped with a motion and sound sensor. But the main feature is that the camera does not require any external power source, since it is solar energy. Now you can look after your neighbor, your lover, or your own child who is hanging out in an unknown company, day and night. PIR Camera and Receiver is already on sale, and the price of the device is about $300.

LISTEN

The Hold Invader device is designed for listening through a telephone line: during a conversation, you can hear not only the interlocutor, but also everything that happens in the room from which he speaks. Externally, this device looks like a small box that is attached to a telephone. The developers recommend using the device during telephone conversations with business partners: first you need to connect the device to the telephone line, and then ask the other person to wait a minute. At this time, the telephone turns into an ultra-sensitive listening device. To make it even more convincing, Hold Invader simulates a telephone standby signal. The new item costs about $100 .

LIGHT

Angus Noble announces plans to release the Indium SMART USB flashlight . The secret is that the device can be programmed using the included special software. For example, change the power of an LED lamp: 3 W, 5 W or work at maximum (for this you need to set the “current strength” setting to 1200 mA). But the most interesting thing is that you can program the blinking frequency of the lamp. For example, using Morse code, the Indium SMART is capable of producing any series of sequential long and short flashes. The cost of the new product has not yet been announced.

SHOOT

Samsung Electronics has introduced its new powerful 8- megapixel camera phone SPH-V8200 , which is capable of taking corporate intelligence to a completely different level. Externally, the device resembles the SGH-i300 multimedia smartphone, which we already wrote about. The SPH-V8200 will have a high-quality color (16 million colors) LCD screen, and its capabilities will not be inferior to modern phones. Nothing is known yet about other technical characteristics, release time of the new product and its expected price. As for the younger brother of the SPH-V8200 - the 7- megapixel model SCH-V770, it will appear on the Korean market before the end of November.
