Bobby Jo is a big fan of her dogs, four of them to be exact. She has rescued all four of them from certain death. In fact, in addition to the dogs she has adopted herself, she has saved another forty by getting other folks to adopt them. Some had as little as half an hour left before they would have met the Big Sleep.

Bobby Jo wanted a way to look in on her dogs when she was at work. Though she had solved most of their issues, occassionally she still came home to big mess. She felt if she looked in from time to time, she could see who the troublemaker was, and what started the fracas.

Since the dogs were only allowed in certain areas of the house, she opted for a four channel system wireless surveillance system. It took only a couple of hours to install, and everything went fine.

On Monday Bobby Jo opened up her laptop and dialed in for her first look at what was going at Doggywood. They were all powernapping, and not a tail stirred. After lunch she dialed in again, and they were in the kitchen. The biggest, Bork was in the process of tipping over the trash can, and the three others were waiting anxiously for it to happen.

When Bork got the can tipped over, Brad, the smallest dog, went straight into the can. All you could see of him was his tail, which was wagging heartily. The other dogs didn’t like this, and started nipping at him, trying to get him out, but he wasn’t budging. Bork jumped on the can, and this did move Brad out. Then there was a big hullabaloo involving all of them.

That night Bobby Jo childproofed the lock on that cabinet door, so they couldn’t get in.

They next day she looked in, and Bork was in the kitchen, and try as he might, he couldn’t get that door open. Since there was no prospect of getting food, the other three weren’t interested, and had retired to their
quarters.

Another check found them all snoring in the afternoon.

It’s what dogs do best.

Bobby Jo checks in every few hours with her hounds, even though they have no idea that she can see them. She has managed to control them very well
by observing them, and then making changes that thwart some of their most unruly aspects.

But most of all, she just likes watching her babies.

If this is something you’d like to do, give us a call at Safety Technology, and we’ll have you set up in no time.

For years that has been the tagline of New York and Washington sporstcaster Warner Wolf. He started that schtick back in the early 1980’s and is still doing it today. The thing is, back in the old days, videotape is actually what was used in the surveillance game. We have plenty of old movies and television shows that you see the old tape machines running, usually in the back of an old van that is too cramped, and full of old food cartons.

Today the cops and many others still do surveillance, but the technology is light years beyond what was being done in those days. In fact, today, just about anybody can have a great surveillance operation. We have the capability to watch things today that nobody was even thinking about in 1980.

Hidden cameras are put in around seventy or more items here, ranging from clocks, mirrors, and boomboxes, to teddy bears. You can even put a hidden camera in a cannister of Clorox wipes. I remember trying to locate the camera in that one, and finally somebody had to show me where it was. (You’ll have to find out for yourself.)

There isn’t anymore videotape these days. Oh, you may still see some old systems around, but they are dinosaurs, and they don’t work very well unless conditions are perfect, if they work at all.

Todays surveillance systems work in any kind of weather, and can virtually see in the dark. And you can sit in a crummy old van if you want to, but the reality is that with an internet connection you can watch your home or business from the pool or beach in the south of France. (Your can go there now that the French got rid of that idiot Jackie Chirac, and put a real man at the helm.) Or if you’re still upset with the French, you can go to Spain, or Portugal, and do the same thing.

Installation of hidden cameras takes place in minutes, and a full blown surveillance system would only take a competent electrician a few hours. Then its up to you, but if you have any problems, we have people standing by to help you get everything running smoothly.

Hidden cameras and surveillance systems are new frontline warriors against theft, abuse, and many other problem situations. They are high powered insurance at a relatively low cost. The feedback we receive here is that the systems easily pay for themselves in the first year, and then go on to actually be a profit center. You can’t ask for more than that.

If you’re prepared, you’ll never be surprised,

There is nothing quite as bland and boring as a tissue box. There are as inherently drab and ho hum as just about any household item that you can think of, but every house I have ever been in has several of them around. Now I have to say that I haven’t seen too many tissue boxes in bachelor pads, maybe none at all, but wherever women are present, there are tissue boxes.

Women must derive some sort of comfort from them, and all that other junk they bring with them when you get married that no one ever tells you anything about. One day you have a perfectly uncluttered bathroom, and then…poof…it’s gone.

But the mere inocuousness of your standard tissue box makes it the perfect place to put a hidden camera. I don’t think I have ever touched one of the many tissue boxes in this house, and don’t have any plans to start. I mean, I have pulled a tissue from time to time, maybe to clean my glasses, something like that, but I have never checked to see what the tissue level was, or refilled one, ever. That’s the wife’s turf, and she’s welcome to it.

I guess I kinda view a tissue box the same way I would view diaper changing, and it’s not high on my “want to do before I die” list.

I think most guys feel the same way. We don’t have opinions on things like tissue boxes, soap dispensers, towel colors, and whether the sheets and pillowcases should match or contrast. It’s just not a guy thing, which makes The Tissue Box Hidden Camera the perfect setup for keeping an eye on your imprtant stuff, like your liquor cabinet, or shotguns.

The chance that a mook would look for a hidden camera in a tissue box are slim to almost non-existent. It just wouldn’t happen. He’d be so comfortable you would probably get footage of him sitting in your chair with his feet on the desk and his eyes closed.

And you wouldn’t even begrudge him his temporary creature comfort, because it won’t be nearly so plush at his next home.

Think about it, it’s a pretty slick move.

The numero uno stuffed animal is Theodore Bear, affectionately known as Teddy. I know there are many stuffed animals, but the one most likely to have a long life, and even possibly live for a generation or two, is Teddy Bear.

Now there is a bear that can really see, and not only that, you can watch what he sees. Theodore (HC) Bear is a Teddy Bear with a hidden camera, capable of giving you a bear’s eye view of what is going on with your child, even if you’re not around. You have four choices of bear, ranging in size from 14 to 22 inches tall.

This is an incredibly easy way for you to keep an eye on the nanny, or babysitter, and nobody will know that you now have eyes in the back of your head. It can also be used to make sure that the babysitter isn’t having her boyfriend over, or having friends show up when she is supposed to be looking after your child.

There are no wires to be run, you don’t need an electrician or have to go through any installation expense, you just set it up and go. Theodore (HC) Bear will work a 12 hour shift on his rechargeable battery, and that should cover just about anything you have to do.

And believe me, no one you hire is going to believe that there is a hidden camera in a Teddy Bear that is watching them, and keeping track of what happens when you are away. There’s even an option for Xray vision that allows the camera to see even in darkness.

That sure is better than the average bear, hey hey Booboo!

Order your favorite bear today, and get yourself some peace of mind.

One of the first surveillance systems I installed was for a friend of mine down here in sunny Florida. He has several restaurants and he was going to start his test of the equipment on this unit located near the beach.

The installation went smoothly, and we had him up and running in short order. He was now able to watch the restaurant from home on his laptop. He was so pleased with the system that he had it installed in all his restaurants. He has called me several times to tell how much he appreciated me taking the time to convince him this was a good move.

On one of the calls he just casually mentioned that four months after installing the systems, he has not had a workmans compensation claim in two months, something that was very common before the cameras were installed. This alone is paying for the systems. Not only is it saving him money, it is saving him time.

He isn’t filling out forms, or going to hearings.

The cameras have foiled the old accident game. No more paying for back injuries that never happened. The employees now know that if they fell, the camera would see it, and the result is no more phony claims.

This was something that never occurred to me when I was selling the system, but it sure is a big benefit that I won’t leave out in the future.

Insurance money is a big part of any business with employees, and if you have a good record of being “accident free” your premiums go down, and many times substantially. Over the span of a few years that could mean a much bigger slice of the pie going in your pocket, or to funding another business, or to making repairs or capital improvements.

My Florida friend tunes in to his different operations at different times every day, and takes a few notes on what he sees. Then he gets together with his managers and implements procedures to fix what is wrong. His estimate is that the surveillance systems paid for themselves in the first month, and that since then he has put thousands and thousands of dollars on his bottom line.

“Sometimes,” he says, “it is the little things that I see. But when you have multiple properties, and they are all doing a little thing wrong, it’s a big thing. If all your bartenders are over pouring, that’s a tremendous amount of money in a month. If we are over cooking four or five steaks a night in six locations, that’s a lot of money in a month in waste. I fix one or two things at a time, and the bottom line results are outstanding.”

I’m sure there are going to be even more benefits that I haven’t thought of as surveillance systems become more and more commonplace. One thing I know for sure though, is that the benefits already far outweigh the cost.

Nowhere in the world are there more hidden cameras than in the British Isles. Our friends and allies started using cameras in the early 1990’s as the threat of the radical Islamic nutbags increased.

The British police were able to quickly find the perpetrators of the subway bombings months back by the use of cameras, and hidden cameras are playing a substantial role role in finding the mentally short changed bombers who were hard at work trying to kill large numbers of innocent people this past week in London, and at other airports in the isles.

The British police are also very smart in refusing to let the press have any of the photos for publication. According to reports last night, one of the men arrested this weekend has ties to the subway bombing. It gives credence to the old “Scotland Yard always get their man,” or men, in this case.

Hidden cameras, or surveillance systems, can be your best friend too, and unequivocally solve the problems of burglary and theft of what is near and dear to you.

Your typical B and E jokester is certainly not going to be aware that there is a camera hidden in a tissue box which can be placed just about anywhere in your house.

He can even use the tissue to wipe his fingerprints down while he is on camera. That will certainly help convict him when the time comes to face the judge and jury.

Another advantage is that the defense attorney will have an extremely hard time questioning the camera, because the camera doesn’t lie. It just takes pictures, and doesn’t have to process that information like a human brain. It just does what is supposed to do.

Conviction rates where surveillance cameras are used are much higher than in cases where eye witness testimony is used. Jurors don’t have much reasonable doubt when they can watch someone stealing over and over.

The cameras really make a shambles of the “evil twin” defense, because it is very clear who committed the crime. You can even burn an extra copy for the crook, just so he’ll have a record of his own stupidity.

Remember, if you’re prepared, you won’t be surprised,

Back when I was in high school I was a clock watcher, and it seemed like the minutes were rolling in slow motion, especially if it was a math class, which I did not like very much. Sometimes it seemed that the class was going to go on forever.

In those days I would never have dreamed that you could actually put a camera in a clock, and watch what happened somewhere else. In those ancient times there were no cell phones, VCR’s, DVD’s, remote controls, or laptops.

There were just three television networks, and nobody had dreamed up cable TV. Gasoline was about 19 cents a gallon, and car engines were big. The muscle car was king, and nobody talked about how many miles per gallon your car got.

Where I lived, the flat top haircut was still boss, and straight legged jeans with T shirts were the height of fashion.

That is now the good old daze.

The Mantle Clock Hidden Camera is definitely one of the favorites in our plant down here in Jacksonville, Florida, and we move a good number of them every month. The camera opening is so small that you would have to look for a good long time just to find it, and a lot of the time I have to point out to people just exactly where it is.

It’s a good looking piece, and it can go on top of a fireplace, in a bookshelf, on a coffee table, on top of a dresser, or anywhere else you might like to put it. Wherever it goes, it can be wireless, or wired, the choice is up to you.

You can get a black and white model, or color. These days, most folks are opting for color, and high power. The high power option means that you can put the receiver just about anywhere in your home, because you’ll have a range of up to 2500 feet. That makes it a perfect fit, even in a very large house.

40 plus years ago I never thought that as I watched the clock in that old high school, that someday it could be watching me, or watching my house, or office.

But if you want to protect what you’ve worked hard to acquire, it’s the way to go.
