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.

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.

It has been said that private investigators and private detectives are always putting their life on the line, similar to police authorities. This may be attributed to the fact that sometimes if not most of the time private investigators and private detectives are conducting investigations on unscrupulous people who may at times be dangerous. This is the reason why being a private investigator or a private detective is not an easy task, an aspiring private investigator or a private detective must go through rigorous trainings and must be able to learn some strategies and techniques in the field. However, even with an extensive training some private investigators or private detectives still are placing themselves in danger, this is also why equipping private investigators and private detectives is an integral part of every investigation. Proper equipment could help a private investigator or a private detective accomplish his or her assignment or mission without taking any damage. It is a common fact that most of the unscrupulous transactions happen during the night wherein such unscrupulous people uses the cover of darkness in order to consummate the crime, this thus makes it hard for a private investigator or private detective to conduct surveillance or investigation.

With proper equipment however, a private investigator or a private detective can eliminate the darkness as a factor, this is why the Gen 2 Tornado Night Vision Goggles was developed. The Gen 2 Night Vision Goggles removes darkness as a limiting factor in conducting an investigation, with it’s powerful bi-ocular eyepiece makes it convenient for the user to wear the goggles. A 26mm F1 lens is fitted to the standard model of the Gen 2 Tornado Night Vision Goggles, however private investigators and private detectives may request for additional lenses either the 7O13 100mm F1.5 lens or the 7015 165mm F2.0 lens. The Gen 2 Tornado Night Vision Goggles is powered by two AA batteries and it is built with an infra-red sensor that allows private investigators and private detectives to view in low or zero light condition.

The field of private investigation is a very tricky process; this is because data gathering requires that everything should be in its normal state. An example of this is when interviewing a subject person, to avoid detection, the private investigator or private detective would be “natural”. Only if the subject person is unaware that he or she is under investigation will there be any positive results. Many private investigators resort to casual conversations with the subject person, however, when having a casual conversation it is obvious that there should be no need for any note taking. Bringing out a pen and a notebook would only spark suspicions. Data gathering requires the gathering of solid evidence thus it would be useless to conduct data gathering through casual conversation if there are no notes taken.

Private investigators and private detectives are always faced with this dilemma and through their creativity and integration of new technology the mini Digital voice recorder was developed. Intended for the recording of voice messages into flash memory this device is one of the most essential tools that a private investigator or a private detective should have. Since it is miniaturized to the size of only 39 x 16 x 9 mm this device is easily concealed. It has the capability of recording voice messages for up to two hundred and ninety-eight hours. It comes equipped with a highly sensitive built-in microphone and it consumes very low power. Alkaline batteries or LR44 can power the device for 10 hours while a zinc air battery can power the device for up to 60 hours. Downloading the recorded data is very easy as it is easily compatible with any PC and connected through any USB port.

Further, the device comes with a voice activation system which has the ability to compress pauses in recordings thus allowing you to record more relevant data.

Private detectives and private investigators literally risk their life in order to get the most accurate data from the field. However, there are instances when the subject of their investigation may lead the private investigators or private detectives to some areas where there are greater risks or threats to the investigators’ life. For instance, the subject of the investigation may be going in a high-risk area like areas of high radiation which can cause serious damage to the body of the private investigator and private detective in the long run. The target person may also be leading the private investigator or private detective to areas where there are high risks or life-threatening factors such as an explosives storage room and the like.

In a private investigators’ or private detectives’ actual field it is possible, though farfetched, to experience scenarios mentioned above. The question is can the private investigator or private detective prevent damaging themselves or their health during the course of their investigation, especially when entering a highly radioactive area where the danger of radioactivity is not actually seen by the naked eye. Repeated exposure to radioactive elements or areas could contribute to the development of disease or ailments. Therefore a private investigator or a private detective must be aware of the presence of radioactivity when he or she is conducting an investigation.  

Holding a large piece of equipment that detects radioactivity would only hamper the investigation process and it may even be the cause of compromising the private detective’s concealed position to the target. Thus, the wrist watch with radiation detector was developed. The wrist watch is equipped with Geiger-Muller Tube that acts as a sensor detecting gamma radiation and further converts it to dose equivalent rate and dose equivalent, thus allowing the user to detect and even estimate the potential absorption of gamma radiation. With the wrist watch radiation detector private investigators and private detectives can now put their mind at ease knowing that they will be warned once they enter a potentially radioactive area during the course of their investigation.
