The TeleSpy™ is a clever and reliable combination of a telephone, a motion
sensor, and a microphone. The TeleSpy is an ordinary telephone that doubles as a
monitoring system. Simply enter any phone number you want the unit to call and
turn the motion sensor switch to on. Should motion be detected the phone will
dial the number entered and upon answering you will be able to listen in via the
amplified microphone on the unit. The TeleSpy allows you to decide from a safe
location if it is a friend or foe before you call the police. The listening
period is about 30 seconds, then the TeleSpy disconnects and instantly re-arms
to detect again and again. TeleSpy operates from any phone line, requires no
installation, and is completely portable. No monitoring fees, No false alarms.
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.
