Rovio – Online Remote Controlled Home Security Robot
September 2, 2010
The Rovio is the perfect remote-controlled robot, featuring some pretty useful technology to make it a gadget you’ll get hours of fun from. Essentially, you control the robot by using a standard web browser, which can be on your PC, your laptop, your mobile phone or your games console.
The Rovio also includes a VGA camera and a microphone, allowing you to use it for a little spying around the home or office. And the best bit, when the Rovio’s batteries start to run low, it will automatically return to its docking station to charge itself up!
The Rovio robot connects to a standard Wifi router, allowing it to work without any wires whatsoever. When you first get the robot, you’ll need to configure it to talk to your wireless network by connecting it to your PC or Mac via a USB cable. However, setting up the robot only takes a few minutes. Once you’ve configured the Rovio, you’re up and running using the very simple software. The software works on all major web including Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer.

July 18, 2010
“The weather in Russia is good this time of year, comrade…” “Indeed, and the fish is good at café de crem…” Right then, now the normal spy formalities are over and we have the obligatory confirmation code out the way, let’s get down to some proper spying.
The motion and sound activated Spy Clock Secret Camera is by far one of the most covert spy gadgets that we have featured. Admittedly, you are not going to miss this pretty cool looking clock on a shelf, but it is styled in such a way that it won’t look out of place in any office or home.
This is a must for any piece of covert security recording equipment and the fact it is a desk clock not a wall one means you can point it in the direction that you want to record.
Spy Pen Video Camera – Covert Audio & Video Recorder
June 29, 2010
If you had not noticed, we love spy gadgets hear at GFM like the great Spy Camera Sunglasses we covered. This Spy Pen Video Camera carries on the covert filming theme as it is pretty much what the title says. A pen with a built in video camera. It still amazes us how they manage to squeeze a camera into something so small. What really amazed us was what else this covert spy gadget had to offer as well.
For starters the camera shoots in VGA quality and stores them as JPG files that are time and date stamped. So that’s a “pen” that can shoot movies in exactly the same quality that an old school video player could show. How technology has moved on never ceases to amaze us.
Spy Camera Sunglasses

If you know GFM you will know that we love spy gadgets that have practical uses. Yep we actually love them and these funky looking spy camera sun glasses are no exception. Hold up! A practical use for spy camera sunglasses? Honestly? Bear with us and all will be explained.
So lets start with the basics. They are essentially a pair of smart looking shades with 1GB of memory and a 1.3 mega-pixel covert camera built in. Our first thoughts were along the lines of; “How the hell are you going to be able to hide a 1.3 mega-pixel camera and all the rest of the electronics involved ‘covertly?
The glasses will be much bigger than usual and any numpty will easily be able to tell something is up!” – Yes, the arms of the shades are slightly oversized but not to the extent we were expecting.
Voice Recording Spy Watch
August 3, 2008
I love multi-purpose gadgets, especially ones with practical and covert uses. This little gem of a Voice Recording Spy 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.

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.

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.

Covert PIR CCD CCTV Camera
July 9, 2008
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.
