Valentine’s Day – A Busy Day for Private Eyes

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

 

Yesterday, I let our readers know that Chicago CBS local news would be covering a story about Valentine’s Day and cheating spouses/partners. CBS 2′s Mai Martinez spent the day with the staff at MSI Detective Services to talk about why Valentine’s Day is such a busy day for private detectives. Martinez also visited the U-Spy Store (owned and operated by MSI Detective Services) for those wishing to purchase their own spy equipment.

If you missed the segment, you can watch the video by clicking on the link to this story at the end.

We expect florists to be busy on Valentine’s Day and candy to fly off the shelves, but did you know it’s also a busy holiday for private investigators?

Forget flowers and chocolates, all some people want for Valentine’s Day is to know if their significant other is cheating.

This is where Perry Myers and his team of private investigators at MSI Detective Services come in.

Theresa Cheriachangel keeps busy with her case load at MSI Detective Services. She said, “A case that I have going on today, she’ll be meeting her … boyfriend for a Valentine’s lunch, and her husband around the same vicinity, actually, for Valentine’s dinner.”

Wow, that is one busy woman. I couldn’t juggle two men let alone keep a straight face. I am a horrible liar.

Private investigators say the above scenario is often the case, making Valentine’s Day one of the best days to catch cheaters.

“As soon as they leave their house, until they come back, we’ll keep an eye on them,” Cheriachangel said.

For those who would rather do the detective work themselves, you can buy some of the same gadgets the pros use such as GPS trackers. “You can actually see where the car is in real time,” said Perry Myers, private detective and owner of MSI Detective Services and the U-Spy Store. (more…)

10 Ways Satellites Have Been Used to Spy on YOU

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, I posted two stories on our MSI Detective Services blog and this U-Spy blog.

1. GPS Inventor Joins EFF in Asking Supreme Court to Ban Warrantless GPS Tracking

2. How to Disable Your OnStar GPS Tracking System – GM Continues to Track After Your Subscription is Cancelled

One of our readers wrote to tell us that his company had coincidentally published a similar article and asked that we share it with our readers. Here it is:

In these post-9/11 days of the Patriot Act, there has come a sharp transformation of America’s collective psyche with regard to the interrelationship between public security and personal liberty. Whereas in times past we had been a people who placed freedom above all else, today we seem more willing to compromise that freedom in the name of national defense. So then it comes as no surprise that Uncle Sam has been keeping a watchful eye on more than just his usual suspects: terrorists, communists, and militant environmentalists. Given the fact that satellites provide a global link between other technologies, their use in intelligence gathering is extensive indeed. Here’s a list of ten ways that satellites have been used to spy on you too: (more…)

NY Police Eyed U.S. Citizens in Secret Intelligence Effort

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

The New York Police Department put American citizens under surveillance and scrutinized where they ate, prayed and worked, not because of charges of wrongdoing but because of their ethnicity, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The documents describe in extraordinary detail a secret program intended to catalog life inside Muslim neighborhoods as people immigrated, got jobs, became citizens and started businesses. The documents undercut the NYPD’s claim that its officers only follow leads when investigating terrorism.

It started with one group, Moroccans, but the documents show police intended to build intelligence files on other ethnicities.

Undercover officers snapped photographs of restaurants frequented by Moroccans, including one that was noted for serving “religious Muslims.” Police documented where Moroccans bought groceries, which hotels they visited and where they prayed. While visiting an apartment used by new Moroccan immigrants, an officer noted in his reports that he saw two Qurans and a calendar from a nearby mosque.

It was called the Moroccan Initiative.

Setting Up a Remote Surveillance Camera Without a Power Source

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Ever wanted to set up a remote surveillance setup in the woods or the rural area where you cannot plug a camera into a wall socket?  Here is a list of things you will need to make it work.

·  Waterproof Box to keep all the goodies.  The bigger the better for air circulation as well as making sure things don’t get cramped inside.  I have even used Rubbermaid tubs.  You can punch a couple holes for air as long as they are not too exposed to sideways rain.  Or just punch the holes and watch the weather.  If it rains, you may want to check on your equipment.

·  Wireless Cellular Internet such as Clear.  They are very good.  Be sure to make sure they are not blocking ports.  You may need to upgrade the service to make sure they are not blocking.  Someone mentioned they are starting to block ports (you need some open ports to allow the video to be seen remotely) so be sure to check.  Verizon is also good but pricier.  Check the coverage map before you buy to make sure that the area you are setting up has coverage.  4G is better than 3G but either works.

·  IP Camera or Analog Camera using a Video Server aka Video Encoder.  Or use an analog camera with DVR that allows remote access.  The DVR will drain more battery but the upside is that it will record too.  The Video Encoder does allow remote recording on a PC with the included software.

·  Battery to supply power to all units.  You may need to calculate – best are Marine Batteries for the longest lasting.

·  Power inverter to change the DC battery current to AC for the encoder and power supplies to work.  Unless you can make things work with the DC from the battery direct.  This will depend on your equipment.

·  Wires and connectors.

·  Configuration of all the items including port forwarding on the router to allow viewing and or recording remotely.

You can get an idea of pricing for most of these items on our website for surveillance equipment at www.uspystore.com. Use our Product Finder to search for specific items.

Good luck!

More About Hidden Cameras

A hidden camera is a covert camera device used to maintain surveillance in a specific area. It records images in its field of vision that can then be retrieved and seen on a TV or computer monitor. Many people use them for security purposes. Several cameras can also be connected to one monitor, thus forming a CCTV network. These cameras are usually so small – making them very easy to conceal. Present day cameras use micro PIR technology that extends recording time to 20 hours and standby time to one year from one battery charge.

Don’t Get Snowed When Buying Security Cameras

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

We just finished with a bad winter and saw plenty of snow. Hopefully it will be the last of until the end of the year. In the mean time, I was hoping to prevent a different type of snow job from occurring to our customers and followers.

Life Under the Lens

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Businesses that lost product and were victim to robbery started utilizing security cameras to cut down on theft. Now prevalent in banks, shopping malls, and corner gas stations, followed by police and then even criminals.

Homeowners then began utilizing alarm systems, and as technology progressed, cameras were were built into those as well. Today, it’s difficult to find much of larger cities that aren’t equipped with some sort of video surveillance, and in many cameras record street activities in high crime areas and busy street corners.

Most any town–no matter the size–have red light cameras, webcams, traffic cams, and other similar equipment. Costs have dropped for cameras, as with most tech items, and are installed in cars, delivery vans, buses, and taxi cabs. Life on video is now simply life, just captured.

Used for both preventing crime and capturing it for use in court, cameras provide the proof to convict, condemn, and exonerate. They capture clues once hidden and give investigators vital evidence for solving violent crimes. There are TV shows that highlight the surveillance camera’s use, some depicting heinous acts of violence, and others highlighting the stupidity of most criminals.

So, get used to life under the lens

So the cameras did their job by catching the vandal but they also give the Siref’s a feeling of security they didn’t have before.
