Spy equipment
Equipment is defined as something which is instrumentally needed for an undertaking or to perform a service. And the instruments used by Sherlock Homes and James Bond are Spy equipment, though the equipments of Mr. James are a little too fictious. The Spy equipment includes Camera, Microphone etc. The spy cameras are of different types and shapes. Smaller the spy camera costlier is the price. The Spy cameras are available in different types like button camera, which can be fixed a button to our shirt to suit and then we can record a video without the knowledge of others.
These types of cameras are generally used by the journalist to carry out Sting operations and also by detectives. These cameras have been very useful in unearthing some of the unbelievable truths such as higher officials belonging to the government getting caught while taking bribes. This is very useful spy equipment which the whole setup can be made inside our clothing, the camera, the recorder and the mike so that it can record the conversation for a specified time for that camera. Again here the cost of the equipment will be high when the recording time has to be high. Other types of spy camera is something which can be fixed anywhere inside a small box or any instrument. The very famous and revolutionary tehelka.com used spy cameras to unearth the truth about the politicians who are like god to the common people.
With the help of the spy equipment they recorded the conversation in which the politicians were discussing about the money to be taken to finish a task, which was illegal and against the laws. In other case the spy equipment was fixed inside a table clock recording all the conversation where a government official was discussing with a normal person where the government official was demanding money from the person to complete his task from the government, later the government official was suspended and arrested by the police. May other scandals were unearthed with the help of this spy equipment.
The other types of Spy equipment are like Phone tap detectors, telephone recorders, voice changers and lie detectors. The police department uses all these equipment and especially the lie detector. The police test the accused by connecting the lie detection equipment to the accused and check whether he is telling the truth or a lie. This is nothing but the pulse of the accused is checked when he is asked questions. When the accused tells the truth his pulse and the brain functions in a normal way else the malfunction will be reported by the lie detector by showing a vast difference in the graph output given by it, in this may mostly the lie detector helps in identifying the criminals.
Sometimes it may fail because if the accused is mentally prepared to lie without any fear and if the accused was behaving in an abnormal way due to split personality or multiple personality disorder, it is difficult for the police to identify the truth. Some more spy equipments are like Night Vision Camera ?s and Binoculars. The detectives and spies use this equipment a lot to observe their target. The night vision cameras are used to take the photograph of anything in the dark even when there is no light at all. By doing so no one can identify or get a doubt that they are been monitored. The night vision Binoculars are used by them to observe in the night time and also by the army when they are moving in the forest and in border of a country. Spy sunglasses also come under this category. These glasses are manufactured in such a way that they have a special coating inside them which allows to see through in the front an also we can see what is going on at our back ; it's like a rear view mirror. Invisible ink pens are also mostly used for spying ; this pen uses invisible ultra violet ink which can be written on anything.
The other end of the pen has an LED which displays ultraviolet rays. By displaying the ultraviolet rays on the written part, we can see what was written before. This is a method of security the spies follow for a secret codes which they will pass on to their spy mates, so that it will be confidential among themselves. Telephone voice changers are one of the oldest spy equipment used by us. Here the person attaches this to the phone and speaks like a person to create an illusion. In this way the criminals can be caught as thinking that there mates are calling them to help, but the police will be calling them with the telephone voice changer to trap them. GPS is spy equipment used by spies to know what is moving around them and also used as a direction finder by common people. GPS is nothing but Global Positioning System, which works with the help pf satellite where the surrounding area, map is displayed on a screen where we can find where we are exactly moving and who are moving around us. These are the general spy equipment used.
