Nightowl
Nightvision Monocular
Nightvision Monocular + IR
Illuminator
|
A
simple nightvision system, the Nightowl is useful for
seeing in total darkness without access to a camcorder.
The built-in IR illuminator is surprisingly effective
for its size. We use it to scout out dark rooms,
as it may detect apparitions better than the naked-eye. |
Surefire Flashlights
LED Flashlights
|
These
flashlights are brighter than most bulb lights of the
same size and have a much longer battery life.
They are very effective as normal flashlights and
produce a very clean light. This makes them
excellent for navigation, but perhaps too bright for
equipment use. |
Smith & Wesson
Flashlights
LED Flashlights |
These
flashlights are good for equipment use due to the fact
that they are not as bright as the Surefire flashlights.
There are three green lights and three white lights.
The colors can be toggled individually or used together
for brighter illumination. |
LED Flashlight
IR Illuminator Flashlight |
A
small flashlight with a surprising 28 infrared LEDs to
augment nightshot camcorders or nightvision systems.
The power seems similar to that of the illuminator
mounted on our HCR-96
Mini-DV camcorder.

Pelican Mini-Lights
Tiny LED Flashlights |
These
flashlights are very small and usually worn around the
neck. They are good for using with equipment like
the Sperry due to
their size and accessibility.
They are made of plastic and are durable enough to hold
by the teeth, which can be useful at times but is not
recommended for conducting EVPs or attempting to look
sane.

UEI Scout 3
Infrared Thermometer + Air
Probe |
Another
common investigative tool, the Scout measures the
surface temperature of the object the laser is on.
It operates on the infrared spectrum, similar to the way
a thermal camera
does. Like a thermal camera, it cannot be used to
judge a cold spot in the middle of the room as it will
simply pass right through and measure the object the
laser is on. Not even steam is dense enough to be
picked up by it.
The air probe, however, can be used to detect cold
spots. It plugs into the side of the Scout and
provides a constant measurement of the air around the
probe itself. It is the smaller number in the
picture to the left. Keep in mind that the laser
thermometer will only update while the laser is active,
while the air probe will constantly update. This
allows us to put the probe into a cold spot itself while
pointing the laser at a solid object in the room.
The result is the true difference between that object
and the cold spot. A difference of 10 degrees or
more in a still room may indicate some form of
paranormal activity. |
