Multi-functional Flashlights
Personal safety experts universally recommend keeping a small flashlight with you at all times when walking at night or in poorly lit areas, such as parking garages and dark neighborhoods. In fact, the first principle of self-defense is to be alert to your surroundings, and nothing lets you see into the darkness while providing a source of protection than with one of our combination flashlights and stunning devices or personal alarms. Roadside Emergencies: No one likes to think about it, but roadside emergencies happen. Whether it’s a flat tire or a mid-winter blizzard, you never know when you’ll find yourself in need of help. But there are steps you can take to prepare yourself. Create your own emergency kit by storing a few simple items in your glove compartment or trunk. A flashlight would be one of those simple items. Even better would be The 4 in 1 Auto Emergency Tool. In addition to helping you examine your car for damage or signal other drivers on the road, the 4 in 1 also acts as a blinking emergency light, a window escape hammer, and a seat belt cutter. If you think you will be stranded for a while, you can also use it instead of the light in your car, which winds down your car battery.

Taser is now offering the X26P to the consumer buying public. The newly improved single-shot X26P uses the same standard TASER cartridge as the X26C and includes new enhancements and safety features that integrate core elements of the Smart TASER platform from the TASER X2.
"The new X26P will feel familiar to many law enforcement officers, combining the form factor and cartridge from the original X26C with improved ergonomics, weatherproofing, and updated Smart technology features," said CEO and founder Rick Smith. "Smart technology adds enhanced safety and performance, improved data and analytics together with superior quality, reliability and durability."
"The X26P is a result of 10 years of technological advancements and the 'TASER Experience,' incorporating the voice of our customers and their needs with our world class research and support teams. The voice of the customer is critical to our success and based on this feedback we know there is a continuing market need for a cost effective single-shot device similar to the X26C which does not require substantial new training or changing inventories of cartridges. We found in our testing that some of our customers wanted the feature-rich improvements from the X2, but delivered in the X26 form factor. The X26C was our most popular model but had not seen any major change in nearly a decade -- until now."
"The TASER X26P reaches back to the basics of what makes TASER great in the hands of officers. Details about every deployment can now be traced back to the unit, making the X26P easier to use and ultimately easier to trust," concluded Smith.
SMART TECHNOLOGY DETAILS:
•An all-digital, solid-state architecture using Charge Metering that measures and delivers the amount of electric charge to maximize both safety and effectiveness.
•Trilogy Logs that include Engineering and Event Logs that record every user action such as: safety activation; trigger duration with times, dates, battery life; and a pulse-by-pulse record of the charge output.
•Universal Smart Platform where the following are compatible with both the X26P and X2: TASER CAM HD recorder, high capacity Performance Power Magazine (PPM), Automatic Performance Power Magazine (APPM) with automatic 5-second cycle shutoff, and firmware updates over the internet.

As a parent, our primary role is to protect our children, but for many of us it's not possible to keep a watch on them 24 hours a day. When leaving for work in the morning it's natural to experience some anxiety when leaving our children with another person. This may be the nanny, a babysitter, or even a family friend. To help ease that anxiety of leaving children under the care of someone else, many parents are choosing to install a "Nanny Cam" to keep an eye on how the caregiver is behaving with their children.
Unless you're intimately familiar with the person who will be caring for your children while you're at work, finding someone you can entrust your children to and feel good about is your first concern. Remember, people have a tendency to present themselves one way in your presence, and then act differently when you're gone. Ask yourself these questions:
1. Is the babysitter or nanny the only one around your child when you leave? Do their friends or boyfriends enter your home after you've gone?
2. Have any of your personal items gone missing without explanation? Jewelry and cash are the usual targets.
3. Is your nanny or caregiver watching TV and talking on the phone all day? Is your child being neglected?
4. Does your nanny or babysitter have a drug or alcohol abuse problem?
5. Worse of all, are they abusing your child? Verbal and physical abuse of children happens every day in this country.
Why a Nanny Cam?
Recently, there have been a lot of cases of abuse from caregivers that have gained media attention. While it's not advised to believe that all nannies have the potential to mistreat children, it is still a problem that should cause some concern. While many potentially abusive nannies can be screened out during the proper interview process, it can still be difficult to know when you're choosing a nanny that is truly dedicated to keeping your children safe.
For a concerned parent, a Nanny Cam can help you gain insight in how your nanny is interacting with your children while you're away. It can either provide you with peace of mind, or allow you to identify a potentially dangerous situation for your children.
What kind of Nanny Camera should I get?
Basically, a “Nanny Cam” is a hidden camera that you install in a non-visible location inside your home. This camera may be hidden in a potted plant, a stuffed animal, a desk lamp, or other household object. The primary purpose of the camera is to allow you to see how a caregiver interacts with your children when you're not around. The two main types of cameras are wired and wireless. As the name implies, wired cameras are direct connected to a PC or some other kind of recording device, like a VCR. This is the most economical option, but concealing the cable can sometimes be a bit of a problem, especially if you're running it for several feet. A wireless camera solves that problem by eliminating the cable, and all come with a 2.4 GHz receiver which connects to the PC or recorder. Signal strength is around 300 feet. With either camera you would press “record” before leaving in the morning and “stop” when you return. You then open the video file you've created and fast forward until something catches your attention. Depending on how many hours you've recorded, this can be very time consuming.
Motion Activated Nanny Cam
Using a motion activated nanny cam is a bit better option. Whenever motion is detected within its sensing range, the camera comes on to trigger the recording device (PC, VCR, DVD) to start recording. When motion stops, it automatically resets itself to standby again to await the next movement. This makes the viewing of the captured video much easier.
The StealthCam Option
The StealthCam systems are the next step up in hidden cameras. They feature the camera and the digital video recorder in one self-contained unit. They also have an “adjustable” motion activated recording system built in, so basically all you need to do is plug it in, turn it on with the included IR remote control, and you're good to go.
The StealthCam system records onto an SD memory card, which can be found everywhere. All of today's digital cameras use SD cards. The StealthCam systems can support up to 32GB, which is inserted into a hidden slot somewhere on the camera.
The StealthCam systems can either record full motion video (30fps) or take snapshot pictures every 3 seconds while motion is detected. Video is best, although it consumes roughly 1GB for every 2.5 hours of video. StealthCam nanny cams can be found in everything, from clocks and radios to stuff bears and picture frames. To see what the camera has captured, either remove the SD card and pop into your PC or card reader, or connect the included USB cable right from the camera to your computer.
A StealthCam system with built-in DVR (SD card) is the most popular nanny cam on the market. Although they have typically cost more than wired or wireless cameras, the prices continue to fall. The technology has also improved, to where now you can get a simple working pen or wristwatch with the same built-in recording ability for just over $100. In fact, with a StealthCam system being disguised into so many common everyday household products, you could afford to place a motion activated nanny cam into two or three rooms of your house.

Over the past decade there has been a marked evolution in the technology of surveillance equipment, along with a significant reduction in price among security cameras, tracking devices, and GPS units. Perhaps the biggest evolution of these has been seen in the area of hidden spy cameras. In less than 10 years, the “nanny cam” has evolved from a complicated setup of electronic equipment to a simple to use electronic work of art. So, what steps has technology taken in the evolution of spy cameras?
Wired to Wireless Hidden Cameras
Like standard security cameras found today protecting homes, businesses, and found on nearly every street corner in the city, nanny cams were another wired camera needing video connections running from the camera unit back to a recording device, like a VCR or monitor. Along the way, micro chips got smaller and more powerful in creating miniature lenses, or what is today called pinhole cameras. These were easily placed into such everyday items, like teddy bears, clock radios, and nearly any household item. Although still available today and often seen in disguised hidden cameras, like smoke detectors, floodlights, and some wall clocks, they require two sets of wires to transmit power and signal to a TV or DVR.
Concealing the wires was a bit cumbersome, but then a new generation of wireless cameras hit the market starting around 2000. First manufactured in such inanimate objects as planters, teddy bears, books, exit signs, and countless other items, wireless cameras eventually found their way into practical working components, like alarm clocks, clock radios, wristwatches, cell phones, fountain pens, and CD players. Inside the component was a tiny pinhole video camera and a small wireless transmitter. When a customer purchased a wireless nanny cam, they got not only a working electronic device but a receiver, A/V cables and power adapter as well. The tricky part came when it was actually time to set up the hidden camera system. The receiver that was provided had to plug into either a monitor close by or a VCR if they wanted to record events throughout the day. This required the user to place the VCR somewhere in the house within 100 feet of the camera, either in another room or on another floor altogether. The receiver was then plugged into the VCR, and when the user was ready to start recording he just hit the “start” button. Voila!....well, not exactly. A standard VHS cassette can only record eight to ten hours max, which can create a problem. However, with the advent of PCs and DVR players this did greatly extend the recording time available.
Let's say a mother wants to keep an eye on the nanny or babysitter while she's at work during the day. Just before leaving the house in the morning she would plug in the nanny cam and turn on the VCR or DVR to start recording. On arriving home at the end of the day and wanting to review what was recorded, she would have to sit for several minutes while fast-forwarding through hours of video, often looking at nothing at all. At the time, this was the only means available to monitor her child's welfare during the day, and the process at best was tedious.
Motion Activated Spy Cams
The concept of motion activation in video recording was a big breakthrough in the spy camera industry. Although the technology had been around for years, it wasn't until the mid 2000's that it became available and affordable to every day consumers. No longer did people have to sit through countless hours of viewing blank tape only to find nothing eventful was captured that day. Now, with motion activated hidden cameras, recording only took place when the camera's sensors detected activity in the room. If nothing moved, then the camera sat idle. As a result, the user might only have to watch 30 minutes to an hour of tape rather than 8 hours or more of static recording.
Another technology feature that came along to compliment the motion activated features of hidden cameras was the increasing popularity of the DVR, which eventually all but replaced the VCR. With a DVR there was no longer a need for VHS tape, since everything that was recorded now was done digitally, frame by frame. The advent of motion activation together with the convenience of the DVR made spy camera and nanny cam users very happy. Then, when it didn't seem things could improve any further, technology came along once again to improve the spy camera one more time.
Built-in DVRs and Micro SD Cards
A growing need started to develop for a self-contained, all-in-one hidden camera system, which by 2006 saw a solution finally arrive. To the delight of everyone, the motion activated spy cam now came with a built-in DVR, which utilized a micro SD card for hours of additional recording time and expanded memory. Gone, were audio/video cables, wireless transmitters, receivers, VCRs and obsolete cassette tape. The new generation of nanny cams and spy cameras allowed the user to set the device and walk away; either for the day, or weeks at a time. When he returned and wanted to view what the camera had recorded, he simply removed the SD card and inserted it into a USB card reader or directly into an SD card slot on the computer. Since the camera only recorded when movement was detected, viewing what had been captured became quick and easy. These cameras, which can be built into any everyday item imaginable, and often include added features like variable recording speeds, low light apertures, still shots, and date and time stamps, remain as the most popular hidden spy camera dvr on the market today. It didn't seem that video surveillance could get any better or easier, but then technology advanced once again to bring us the latest generation of hidden spy cameras.
Real Time Remote Viewing
Just when you thought covert spy cameras couldn't get any better, the newest technology that's come out now allows live, remote viewing capabilities. With this new platform of video surveillance, your desktop PC or laptop now becomes a server and a DVR.
The way it works is, the user places the spy camera in any room of his home, office, or other location he wishes to monitor, and the video is streamed live to his computer. As an example, say a guy owns a manufacturing firm in city “A” but has to travel to city “B” frequently to meet with suppliers. He wants to keep an eye on his business and workers while he's away, so he installs a few live, wireless remote-view cameras around the premises. Now, from wherever he is, here and abroad where he can establish an Internet connection, he can log into his laptop and remotely watch live what is taking place at his business in real time. He can also record directly onto his hard drive what the camera is capturing simultaneously 24-hours a day. All that is required is to load the included software program and to connect the receiver directly into the USB port of the computer located on the premises.
This technology is also great for mothers who work and want to monitor their child and babysitter during the day while at the office, or for parents of teenagers who are left at home unsupervised, or perhaps for a husband or wife who may suspect the other of cheating and infidelity, or for family members who are responsible for the care and well-being of elderly parents or relatives who are residing in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The uses and applications for remote live viewing spy cameras are virtually unlimited.
Next on the Horizon?
It seems that every time we think technology can't improve over what we have today, we are continually surprised in the next technological advance. This is especially true when it comes to wireless hidden spy cameras. We are always excited and eager when the next new spy device or camera is introduced to the market. When that happens, you can be sure The Covert Eye will be there to offer the latest and newest covert surveillance product to our customers.
