Video camera

I can imagine plenty of kids rubbing their hands with glee and the thought of getting one of these – as well as some older kids as well. Yes: I’m looking at you!

The Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR can be remotely controlled and be used to sneak into rooms, underneath changing room doors, into locker-rooms, errrrrrrrrm…..

Anyhow; the TRAKR is equipped with a video camera so that the user can capture covert moving pictures as well as being to eaves-drop on conversations thanks to the inbuilt mic.

Should the controller wish to announce their presence there’s even a built-in speaker on the car and a microphone on the remote control.

The spy-bot can also be tweaked thanks to its own app site.

“With the Spy Video TRAKR, we’re teaching kids how to write their own applications and program their toys to do exactly what they want them to do.”

“Play should not be confined by the concepts and programs toy companies create,” says Daniel Grossman, CEO of Wild Planet Entertainment, Inc. “With the Spy Video TRAKR, we’re teaching kids how to write their own applications and program their toys to do exactly what they want them to do.”

The potential voyeurism starts in October at a price of $120

3 in 1 Ghostbusting Paranormal Tracking Instrument

by Jay Garrett on November 17, 2009

Paranormal ResearchIf you’ve seen the film ‘Paranormal Activity’ you will have noticed that having a video camera isn’t the only thing you really need.

Any budding ghost-hunters will need an array of scientific instruments in order to prove and find the gad-about ghosts.

Thankfully, the folk over at Scientifics Online have just the very thing.

This spectre-finder has the 3 most useful tools wrapped up in one handy device.

You get an EMF Meter, Ambient Temperature Gauge and a……. errrrrrrr…….. flashlight.

“Designed exclusively for paranormal investigators, this incredible tool has everything you need to track and detect the presence of ghosts.”

The aptly spooky green-lit screen will help would-be ghostbusters decide whether or not they’re soon to be slimed.

The EMF burst mode detects EMF movement rapidly, and the record feature allows you to capture minimum and maximum values from your adventures and investigations.

You could always team this up with your Vampire hunting kit :)

For those on a budget this undead-uncovering unit is available with or without a built-in red nightvision flashlight – $149 or $129 respectively.

I wonder if it could detect the ghost in a bottle?
