Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall? The newest spy tools can turn the average person into a private eye.
Spy gadget retailer Brickhouse Security says their biggest sellers appeal to families. Nanny cams and GPS tracking are very popular. It's gotten simpler than a digital camera. High-resolution hidden cameras sell for as little as a couple of hundred dollars and they come in all shapes and sizes.
The rapid spread of spy technology has caught the eye of privacy advocates. Technology develops so quickly that it takes a long time for the law to catch up.
A quick YouTube search for spy cameras turns up what appear to be dozens of illegally shot hidden camera videos in fitting rooms, locker rooms at gyms, tanning salons and people's homes. Of course, for every gadget, there's usually a counter gadget.
Are people worried that someone else might be pointing a camera at them that shouldn't be?
Especially celebrities. Kid Rock's security team recently found a hidden camera in his dressing room in Minneapolis. Brickhouse sells equipment that can detect similar cameras, as well as audio jammers, bug detectors and even voice scramblers.
