		SONY DCR HARD DRIVE CAMCORDER This is a great camera with an internal hard drive enabling you to transfer information straight to the computer without the need of tapes. I find it light and easy to use.

		SONY Camcorder IR Light This infrared light is easily connected to the tripod mount underneath the Camcorder. It has an adjustable light beam and a choice of either a Sony Longlife battery or two x AA batteries. I have found that this makes a huge difference to the night vision. Infrared emission, for shooting in total darkness Adjustable light output Recommended for shooting ranges of 3 to 20 metres Includes a VCT-S30L accessory shoe adapter Powered by either an InfoLithium® M Series battery and charger, or two x AA batteries

		LASER GUIDED TEMPERATURE READER There are many variations of these on the market. This is a great piece of equipment to have, just point and press. I have found the readings to be extremely accurate. Measures temperatures between -20 & +200 degrees centigrade Instant measurement & display of temperature Mini size - easy to use Lazer point to aim the thermometer Requires 1 x 12V battery

		K2 EMF READER This EMF detector uses a row of bright LED lamps instead of a needle to indicate relative strength of EMF fields. Lately this little meter has gained wide acceptance among Paranormal Researchers and plain old Ghost Hunters, for its ease of use and apparent effectiveness in detecting paranormal activity. Almost Ouija Board Like, the KII meter can often be used to answer "Yes" and "No" questions of the Spirit world. Simply instruct the entity to cause the lights to flash twice for Yes and once for No or a variation thereof.

		STEALTHCAM This item is usually used for photographing animals in the wild. I have adapted it for motion detection in suspected haunted locations. Sharp .3mp pixel resolution.

		WIRELESS IR CAMERAS There are a multitude of cameras on the market. I use wireless cctv cameras as they are so much easier to manage without lengthy wiring to rig up.
