 The
TeleSpy's telephone is the same popular "Slimline" telephone found in
millions of home. Operation is no different than the regularly produced
version and the user would notice no difference. The TeleSpy plugs into
any standard telephone jack for normal phone operation.
By adding our patent-pending
circuitry, the "Slimline" manufacturer modifies the interior
electronics while leaving the exterior virtually unchanged. The TeleSpy
circuitry requires an AC adapter (provided) to be plugged into any
standard 110V wall outlet. The absence of this power adapter would
render the TeleSpy circuitry useless, but would not affect the
telephone's normal operation. Because of the ordinary appearance the
TeleSpy is not obtrusive and more effective. The connection of the
TeleSpy to your existing phone line has no adverse effect. It is no
different than adding another ordinary phone.
 The
Motion Sensor
The TeleSpy's motion sensor is PIR or Passive Infrared Technology. The
passive infrared sensor detects changes in the room's heat signature
due to occupant motion. The range is in excess of 30 feet at which
point the width is about 20 feet, creating about a 45 degree wedge
beyond the sensor origin.
The Microphone
The hidden condenser microphone is strategically placed for maximum
efficiency. It is amplified to insure that the slightest of sounds are
heard, producing a high quality listening experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Self
Test function help me?
The test switch on the TeleSpy powers the green
LED light near it. It tells the operator instantly when the motion
sensor detects something (light comes on). The light stays during a
timed period (the listening period) then the phone would disconnect
(light off), now, light is off and TeleSpy is instantly re-armed for
the next detection. Knowing how to use this function allows the
operator to discover the exact perameter and sensitivity of the motion
sensor within their personal environment. Operational tip: Unplug the
phone line. Now the TeleSpy will show LED light "on" for detection and
light "off" for disconnect and reset without calling. Always remember
that the first time you turn the TeleSpy power "on" it takes 60 seconds
to arm but the LED will turn off at 30 seconds. You must wait 30
seconds after the light has gone off before the TeleSpy is armed (only
the first time.) Thereafter, when the light goes off, the TeleSpy is
instantly armed.
Can the
TeleSpy™ be used in smaller homes and apartments and homes
with existing security systems?
The TeleSpy™ is an ideal solution for the smaller homes and
apartments. It will be desirable to lower and middle income dwellings,
including rented apartments, because they will be seeking affordable
security and higher income users find it a valuable supplement to their
existing systems. About 30% of TeleSpys™ sold will be going
into small businesses, garages or shops.
What if I hear a
burglar?
First, be grateful you're not there but are listening from a remote
location. Never attempt to apprehend criminals. This could be very
dangerous! If professional assistance is required, call 911 or your
local law enforcement emergency phone number.
How do I know my best
use of my TeleSpy?
Simple, think like an intruder. If an intruder entered, where would he
come from (34% come through the front door), where would he go? What's
he want? Predicting this movement should dictate the TeleSpy's position
in the room. First place TeleSpy in the best place, lastly run the
cords. Use extension cords if necessary.
What about my pets?
Pets and motion sensors can live together. If
you use the motion sensor with the pet in close proximity it probably
will set off the sensor. Use the test light on TeleSpy to discover for
yourself the sensitivity of your pet(s), then devise a strategy which
allows the TeleSpy™ to function without pet interference; you
may find that pointing it in a specific direction or slightly raising
the unit solves the problem. Sensitivity is factory set to trigger on
about a 40 pound (5 years old) child or animal.
Burglars Get A
Steal When They Break In
Thieves steal
anything negotiable! Burglars are opportunists. They take whatever they
think they can exchange for something they want, including cash. In
fact, cash tops the list of things that burglars take from homes. The
reasons are obvious.
It is readily negotiable. Its surprising how many people still keep
large amounts of it in their home. They often provide no extra security
for the cash.
Most often, cash is stuffed in a drawer where it is easily accessible
to the burglar. Burglars know exactly where to look to find the things
of value. Hiding cash under the drawer does little good. Most seasoned
burglars will discover it within a few seconds.
Thieves know their chances of getting caught increases the longer they
remain in the residence. Burglars take things that are of value and
allow ease of escape.
Tools have long been a favorite of burglars. They are easily sold or
traded for something else. There is a never ending demand for specialty
tools on the illegal market.
Some tools are cumbersome which may require a vehicle, or more than one
thief to move. Tools are easily sold too unethical mechanics or other
unsuspecting people.
Most people do not mark their tools, which makes recovery near
impossible. Thieves count on trusting individuals. Valuable tools
should be kept out of sight and secured as other valuables. Burglars
take some items for their own personal use and others for resell.
Firearms are a favorite target of most burglars. They can be sold on
the illegal market or used to commit other crimes. Most people do not
properly secure their firearms.
Unsecured fired arms are a burglars dream. Residents place them in
closets, drawers or under beds. The seasoned burglar has seen all this
before. They know where the uninformed will hide firearms.
Unsecured firearms are easy targets for thieves and they are also
dangerous. If children gain access to a gun it can have a tragic
ending. Firearms should be stored in properly locked containers.
They should not be shown at gatherings. The ammunition should be stored
separate from firearms when not in use. Thieves are skilled in looking
for evidence that indicate you may own firearms.
Pictures of you posing with your guns are a dead giveaway. Literature
about guns may offer another clue. Burglars do not want to spend too
much time looking for your valuables.
You can lessen the chance of theft by putting them in the right place.
Some items fit the criteria for theft better than others.
Jewelry is a favorite of all burglars. Its surprising how many people
still do not secure jewelry in their residence. The average person will
not take security measures beyond a jewelry case.
If you leave jewelry unsecured, during a burglary it will be stolen. If
you have expensive jewelry, only show it to trusted friends when it is
not being worn.
Expensive jewelry signifies to the thief that there is other stuff of
value in the residence. If the jewelry is unsecured, its a sure bet
that other things are out for the taking. Poor security is contagious.
It provides the thief with a variety of items to choose from
throughtout the home.
Electronics are also favorite targets for criminals. They are often
unsecured. The can be easily sold or used for personal use. Electronics
are not hard to find in the home. Residents often use them on a daily
basis. Televisions, radios, digital video recorders, computers all make
viable targets for burglars.
There is only one way to keep burglars away from your valuables. You
must try to keep them out of your home! If you fail at keeping them
out, then you must have evidence to catch and prosecute them.
