Customer Rating: 

the book itself provides almost no specifics about where to find parts, no model numbers or even brands. Just black & white photos with captions like "A collection of small spy camera, each with different lux ratings." I gather there was once good support on [...] - it's gone without a trace. The projects are great, and (I'm just starting) they sure sound like they should work, if I can find appropriate parts...
[...]!

Although this is a cool book, a lot of the stuff in it is really a fun surprise, but it won't make you an evil genius. First, if you want to be said E.G., you must be a genius, then you have to be EVIL, which is hard, unless you are a jerk, since people tend to decalre wars on you and what not, and somehow nature has figured out how to make sure that (a) if you're a jerk then (b) you're probably not a genius. And for the rest of us? I mean, really, who has time to think up ways to take over the world that won't bring Homeland Security knocking at your door in the wee hours with a black canvas body-bag and an iron collar? But it's really a fun read and some of the ideas are things I'd actually do on a rainy Saturday when football is over.

Not quite what I was expecting. Pretty awesome projects but for practical use, meh, some of it.

Great book! I give it five stars! Fun projects you can build cheaply using stuff you find in thrift stores or for free if you are willing to look inside Salvation Army dumpsters! Projects are great if you are a private eye, company internal security guy, or a kid who wants to really bother your family, friends and neighbors! On the more serious side,if you are into nature, you could probably use alot of the night scope and amplified ear stuff for bird/ animal monitoring. Be rational using this stuff! You could get in trouble if you follow your evil genius side! But...that's why you are looking at this book isn't it...MAH!, HA!, HA!, and HA!

In this world where unexpected suprises are not always welcome - and if your thoughts lean toward keeping an eye on things, this publication will certainly help. There are chapters the younger set would appreciate as well the seasoned info gatherer will not hesitate to start putting something together.
Not electronic savvy? Not a concern. Just a few of the ideas presented here will get you headed in the right direction with property protection, keeping tabs, and real time viewing scenarios.

Before reading this I thought; "Get a camera, put it up, check it once in awhile." Wrong. This easy reading material will get you thinking in important directions about surveilance you probably haven't thought of previously, unless you were a professional.
