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.
