need2shave 0 Posted November 14, 2011 Hello, I'm looking for a training provider who puts together a high quality course on building covert video concealments. Would need to be open to private security firms...any recommendations??? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunited2 0 Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) I don't know of a company that would specialize in 'only' covert camera installation training (there may be). But, there are so many different applications where a need for a covert install could be applied. I have done work for the DOD, to Cities, Counties and regular Industrial/commercial companies. I would think that a search of PI's and or/Bodyguard Security would provide a training better served than here. I have put cameras in plants, pinhole lenses looking through ceilings, etc. I think my most memorable was using an RCA Newvicon (starlite) camera (which back in the 'old days' looking through something, could actually see IR Illumination), we installed the IR under a desk and bounced it off the walls in this office (the IR light itself, couldn't be seen)...this was how we caught the infamous (to this one company anyway) 'company gym' smelly panty thief....turned out to be a security guard. Most recent, a working PIR w/built in camera...tell the employees you're installing an alarm motion detector, so you don't have to do that middle of the night BS....after setting it up, checking it over the network..caught the person live...and that was just checking how the camera was working. Eh, enough gibberish...good luck. Bunited2 Edited November 16, 2011 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeLansing 0 Posted November 16, 2011 I have/had? a friend that is electronics guru from the military. 20 years ago I remember him wanting to watch the kids (10 & 16 years old) better, and the wife (that he didn't trust). He re-did their living room with new track lights and refinished a wall. And he put a new light in the bedroom. He worked nights and started calling the kids up telling them "get to bed and turn off the porn channel", on and on. He had done something to the wall where it was loaded with little wires that vibrated and somehow transmitted sound a couple miles to where he worked. I don't even know if it needed a battery. He explained it to me once, but it was way over my head. He had cameras in the track lighting that nobody ever saw. The kids thought he read minds. The wife was really mad when he sent porn photos of her and her boyfriend to all of her friends and family's email. They aren't married anymore. As far as I know he didn't really specialize in covert stuff. He was just a Rainman of anything electronic. _ Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunited2 0 Posted November 16, 2011 OK....Now that's some funny stuff! (about sending off the pics). Too bad it was before the internet got traction. Most of all good for him...one thing I totally despise is a cheater and I can take to my grave the fact that I never cheated on anyone in my life (even my ex wife, which by the way can be seen every halloween....usually between 10pm and 11pm flying past the moon on her broomstick) and (as far as I know) never been cheated on myself. That guy has a warm spot in my heart....as a true geek a 'rainman' as you put it. In certain circumstances a wire can be used to pick up resonance (vibrations) from sound for instance. I have used fence security protection systems (not a product or company, so mods don't take away my B-day.. hah..hah..hah?) that not only will detect climbing, cutting, etc. but actually can use (cyclone fencing) as a virtual speaker and sounds, voices can be heard back at the head end.
