Eco-Button
A Gadget that helps to save the planet is not normally the first choice hear on GFM… But one that can also save you money and give your PC some protection peaked our interest. I give you, the Ecobutton.
This clever little thing is essentially a large LED back lit button that connects to your computer via a USB port. You give the large green button a push and hey presto, the magic happens, or in other words, you PC quickly goes into “Eco Mode”. Eco Mode is essentially standby mode that keeps you hard drive running, but does it while only using 1.8 watts of power (apparently that is loads less then most normal standby modes). I know what you are thinking; “Yawn” “Seen it before” “Who cares” and we thought the same when we first saw it. But read on as the best is yet to come.
Voice Recording Watch
I love multi-purpose gadgets, especially ones with practical and covert uses. This little gem of a voice recording watch is just such a gadget. Concealed within this fine piece of craftsmanship is 1GB of flash memory attached to a microphone. You may be asking how this is practical or covert. Or you might have already seen the nearest uses this gadget could be used for.
The microphone is cleverly placed so that you can clearly record while the watch is still on your wrist. This makes it very easy to covertly record conversations without raising suspicion. Perfect for people who need that extra bit of evidence or to catch that embarrassing info on tape that will allow you to extort pints from friends in exchange for your silence.
USB Key Logger
Some ideas are so simple they are brilliant. This USB Key Logger is one of those simple yet brilliant gadgets. It is essentially an external USB dock that goes between the keyboard and the computer. The advantages of this means that the computer/user will never know it is there so happily go about their business, unaware they are being monitored. It has a hefty 2MB memory built in.
You might be thinking that 2MB is rubbish compared to your new 16GB pen drive, but that 2MB memory converts to whopping 2 million key strokes. If you don’t have the info you need in 2 million key strokes you’re never going to get it. It’s Windows, Linux and Mac compatible and even works with keyboards with built in hubs. Once you have your “data” you simply switch the USB Key Log into pen drive mode and download the contents in an advanced flash file format.
PS/2 Key Logger
Some ideas are so simple they are brilliant. PS/2 Key Logger is one of those simple yet brilliant gadgets. It is essentially an external PS/2 dock that goes between the keyboard and the computer.
The advantages of this means that the computer/user will never know it is there so happily go about their business, unaware they are being monitored. It has a hefty 2MB memory built in. You might be thinking that 2MB is rubbish compared to your new 16GB pen drive, but that 2MB memory converts to whopping 2 Million key strokes!
Covert PIR CCD CCTV Camera
Having started a family I now find myself looking into ways I can secure my home and family. This is why I have started to look into different ways I can “monitor” my house. While browsing the internet for an external CCTV camera I also came across this little spy gadget and could not resist.
When we moved into the house it had an old school inactive alarm with the hard lines cut so as all the wiring for my old alarm sensors was still in, I only needed to hook up an AV pickup. The Covert PIR CCD Camera looks great and the picture/sound quality it supplies is not half bad neither. As it has a motion activated sensor built in you can set your receiver to record whenever active so you don’t miss a trick.
