Private Investigators – Wireless Phone GSM Monitoring System

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

With the integration of new technologies nowadays phone call or phone conversation privacy is increased. Increased privacy is ideal in a society that is founded on trust, trust that no unscrupulous business are going on behind another person’s back. However, that is a set-up in an ideal society but not in the real world. Many unscrupulous transactions may be conducted by people through mobile phone or wireless phones and it is expected that these people are going to conduct these either in the comfort of their company office or their home. Investigating unscrupulous transactions are obviously done by people in private places where listening is limited or prevented. This is the reason why private investigators and private detectives require the use of devices that could enable them to listen to phone conversations as well as mobile phone conversations through the GSM network.

This need gave rise to the development and invention of the GSM Monitoring device that is integrated in a Wireless Home Phone design. In order to make the GSM Monitoring device to be undetectable it is incorporated or disguised as a wireless home phone system. The GSM monitoring system requires a SIM card in order to function which you can use to dial into and then hear not only the ongoing phone conversation but also conversations that are currently happening within an eight meters radius. This device is highly sought after by private investigators and private detectives as it would send an SMS to the private investigator and private detective if the device detects a sound or if the phone is moved from its original location, further it informs the private investigators if a number is being dialled or if there is an incoming call allowing the private investigators and private detectives to listen to the conversation at the most appropriate and precise time.

Private Investigator – Pen Sized Colour Document Scanner.

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The job of a private investigator and private detective is considered to be one of the most difficult and risky jobs. This is because private investigators and private detectives should gather data about a person or a company discreetly without raising any suspicion. Gathering data can also be tantamount to gathering evidence against the company or the person who is the subject of the investigation. This could put the life of the private investigator and private detectives in danger. Most of the time private investigators and private detectives are hired by lawyers in order to find some incriminating evidence against a person on trial, and most of the time evidence that is required is documents that can substantiate the guilt of a person or even a company. However, for a private detective or a private investigator gathering such evidence will be very difficult not only because of the fact that taking documents without permission puts his or her life and career at risk but also it would be difficult for him or her to sneak out bulky paper works.

Since taking documents as a data or evidence gathering method is important private investigators and private detectives have developed a device that can help them gather data without the need to carry or steal hard copies of the document. This device is a pen sized document scanner that is capable of colour scanning. Recognising the fact that monochrome scanning may not be enough to capture images, the pen-sized colour scanner was developed. It is developed to be pen-sized in order for the private investigator and private detectives to easily conceal the device. It has the capacity to store up to 200 pages at a rate of one page per second. It has a lithium battery for its power supply and it is compatible with a myriad of program applications such as Outlook, Excel, Powerpoint, Notepad, Photoshop among others. It easily connects to the computer through a USB cable and it can scan using various image formats such as BMP, JPG, PCX, DCX and TIFF. With this device private investigators and private detectives can now easily acquire needed data or documents that will help them in their investigation without raising any suspicions.

Private Investigators – Telephone Voice Transformer

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Private investigators and private detectives are always on the lookout for any technology that will aide them in efficiently conducting their investigation. Nowadays the telephone, although an old technology, is still one of the most common forms of communication. Telephones are usually used in both private and government offices, thus communicating and taking information through the phone is still possible. However, voice recognition is innate or is human nature and sometimes private investigators and private detectives are deterred by the fact that the person on the other line might be able to recognise his or her voice which would compromise the whole investigation.

It is a known fact that private investigators and private detectives would sometimes favour utilising the telephone to gather information than to physically ask another person for information because the latter could compromise the whole investigation process and with the ability to recognise voices it is also an avenue where the private investigators’ investigation and identity are compromised. In order to prevent this theTelephone Voice Transformer was developed or invented. First generation telephone voice transformers proved to be ineffective because the devices would transform a persons’ voice into a different type of sound and not an actual human voice which would also raise suspicions. This again would compromise the investigation and even the identity of the private investigator or private detective. The new generation of telephone voice transformers allows the users, like private investigators and private detectives to change their voice into another human voice, a male caller may change his voice into a female voice, masking his true identity that would be beneficial to the private investigators’ or private detectives’ identity and investigation.

The Truth about Private Investigators

Monday, March 15th, 2010

More often than not people who do not have any background on what private investigator and private detectives do always ask of them astronomical results, this means clients ask too much of the private detective agency in terms of results and deadlines. The reason for asking such impossible results would be because of the client basing his or her concept of a private investigator or a private detective according to what they see in the movies. In the movies a private investigator is portrayed as an individualistic person, working alone on cases, not afraid of anything and confronting criminals straight-up with no hesitations. In order to give you an understanding of a private investigator or a private detective it is important to know the truth in the life of private investigators or private detectives.

First truth is that unlike those being portrayed in the movies a private investigator or private detective does not work alone, we have to understand that a person has his or her limitations and that he or she may not know every aspect in the field of investigation. This is the reason why private investigators works hand-in-hand with other people that have their specific field of specialisation such as the field of law, medicine and forensics. Further, in the field, private detectives and private investigators does not work alone, this is especially true when private detectives conduct surveillance, for the simple explanation that one person cannot be in two places at the same time.

Second truth about private investigators and private detectives is that investigations would last for several days, months and worst-case years. Unlike what is portrayed in the movies or TV shows investigations can conclude as easily and quickly as one day, the investigations may last for several days because of several factors such as careful surveillance and the time consumed before getting the actual result in the different lab tests done.

These two reasons among other reasons are the most common cause why private investigators have to be given realistic and not impossible expectations or output.
