Different Methods and Gadgets For Surveillance

As technology advances newer methods and gadgets for surveillance are manufactured using the latest state of the art know-how and the equipment gets virtually invisible as well.

Whether it is the good guys or the bad guys, newer gadgets for surveillance have come into play, displacing the older ones. The devices are more sophisticated, their range is greater and their visibility and detect-ability is also less. While old fashioned physical surveillance will always be around, these new gadgets make surveillance activities easier.

Audio Gadgets

Audio devices can be totally covert, without the person who is being spied upon even having an inkling that they are being used, to devices which work when the spy is in close range. For example, it is easy to bug phones and track vehicles as everybody who has ever watched any spy movies knows.

But did you know that even your mouse could be a transmitter? That innocuous looking wooden pen, that mains adaptor, that socket even that LCD clock could be transmitting your conversations or any audio to the person who is spying on you.

Visual Surveillance

For visual surveillance purposes, apart from the naked eye, the most commonly used piece of equipment is the camera. These small covert cameras can be practically invisible because they are in everyday objects. They may be in a smoke detector, an airfreshner, in eyeglasses, in a ladies' brooch, a handbag, a book, a pen, a tie or even a baseball cap. Many of these covert cameras may also be doing audio recording. These cameras offer high resolution color pictures and usually video recording as well.

Some of these can even be used at home to spy on nannies and baby sitters or housekeepers if there is any suspicion of any wrong-doing or even just to monitor that baby's being well taken care of. There are special nanny cams in the shape of toys so that fit in a baby's room décor without arousing any suspicion.

Night Vision

There are many different types of night vision gadgets available ranging from binoculars to goggles to rifles with night-scopes. These allow you clear sight, sometimes with magnification. Most of them use infra-red technology to enable you to see in the dark.

The more sophisticated versions are water and dust proof as well and have higher viewing ranges. Some of them come with separate lenses for different purposes.

Special Equipment For The Special Forces

For the special forces or for specialized situations there are other gadgets available. All phones can be jammed with phone jammers. Even bombs can be jammed.

The police or other forces can use testers for various drugs like lsd, marijuana, cocaine, rohypnol and various opiates.

For hostage or other sensitive situations there are various types of body armor, which can be worn. There are gas masks and detectors in case of dangerous chemical or biological agents being used. And, of course, there are bullet proof vehicles for additional security.

Many of the new gadgets and devices may be illegal to use except without proper authority by law-enforcement agencies or private detectives. But many of them are sold via the internet, making them more accessible to an ordinary person who is willing to shell out the big bucks these items cost.

Nsa Warrantless Surveillance Controversy $129.05 The NSA warrantless surveillance controversy concerns surveillance of persons within the United States incident to the collection of foreign intelligence by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) as part of the war on terror. Under this program, referred to by the Bush administration as the terrorist surveillance program, part of the broader Presidents Surveillance Program, the NSA is authorized by executive order to monitor phone calls, emails, Internet activity, text messaging, and other communication involving any party believed by the NSA to be outside the U.S., even if the other end of the communication lies within the U.S., without warrants. The exact scope of the program is not known, but the NSA is or was provided total, unsupervised access to all fiberoptic communications going between some of the nations major telecommunication companies major interconnect locations, including phone conversations, email, web browsing, and corporate private network traffic.

Automated Incident Detection in Surveillance Systems $113.11 The importance of public security cannot be overemphasized in todays world. Surveillance systems consisting of extensive camera networks now have many applications. The London Underground has 9000 cameras, with each staff required to monitor as many as 60 at a time. This presents a significant scope for automation. Processing a sequence of images from a network presents challenges in terms of deciding upon the feature set to be extracted, and the appropriate choice of algorithm. We investigate methods based upon principal component analysis and nearestneighbor distances to propose a system of automated intruder detection in surveillance systems and suggest new applications in Bangladesh of such systems.

The Watchers: The Rise of America's Surveillance State $3.99 In 1983, John Poindexter, President Regan's national security advisor, realized that the United States might have prevented the massacre of 241 Marines in Beirut if intelligence agencies could have analyzed in real time the data they had on the attackers. What ensued over the next quarter-century were ambitious government efforts to create an intelligence-gathering system of unprecedented scope and sophistication. But despite the billions of dollars spent, the result is a supreme irony: While catching the terrorists hasn't become any easier, spying on the rest of us is now routine. Based on exclusive access to key government sources, this is the chilling history of our nation's evolution into a surveillance state.

Handbook on Soft Computing for Video Surveillance (Hardcover) $252.81 "Preface Video surveillance is the area of computer science devoted to real-time acquisition, processing, and management of videos coming from cameras installed in public and private areas, in order to automatically understand events happening at the monitored sites, eventually setting up an alarm. Because of the rapidly increasing number of surveillance cameras, it has become a key technology for security and safety, with applications ranging from fight against terrorism and crime, to private and publicsafety (e.g., in private buildings, transport networks, town centres, schools, and hospitals), and to the efficient management of transport networks and public facilities (e.g., traffic lights and railroad crossings). Video surveillance is an extremely interdisciplinary area, embracing the study of methods and algorithms for computer vision and pattern recognition, but also hardware for sensors and acquisition tools, computer architectures, wired and wireless communication infrastructures, and middleware. From an algorithmical standpoint, the general problem can be broken down into several steps, including motion detection, object classification, tracking, activity understanding, and semantic description, each of which poses its own challenges and hurdles for the system designers. Moreover, the scope of video surveillance is being extended to off-line multimedia analysis systems related to security and safety, thus entailing disciplines such as content-based video retrieval for visual data similarity retrieval and video mining for knowledge extraction; typical applications are in forensic video analysis and human behaviour analysis"--
