A Cellular Surveillance System Can Spy on You And Employees.

The cellular surveillance system industry is exploding. In the next few years it is expected to be a 20 billion dollar a year industry.

Boyfriends are using cellular surveillance to stalk their girlfriends, employers are using it to track their employees, and parents are using it to control their kids, but, is it legal?

Employers can use state of the art cellular surveillance to monitor their offices using a wireless video surveillance system.

They can monitor all vital systems with an operational check, make sure auto programs have started running, and all maintenance tasks are going as scheduled… and check on employees in the office to see if they are doing work and not spending half the day on social networking sites.

Homes can be monitored concerning security, safety…how is the nanny doing?

If the cellular phone surveillance is a recent model it usually offers an alarm notification to any cell phone, which means when your alarm sounds at your house, glass breaks, motion detectors are activated, etc, you will receive a text message alarming you.

Of course you will be frantic because you will have no idea what in the heck is going on, but at least you know something is going on.

Secondly, if you want to see and get the first hand experience of being there in the moment from your cell phone video surveillance system, you can do that as well.

Cell phones (Motorola MPX200, Microsoft, HP, and Dell) paired with a cell phone capable surveillance system, which recognizes you are browsing from the mobile cell phone or handheld device, as opposed to from your computer, when you are checking in online, will also work.

Turn Cell Phone into Surveillance Device

Some video surveillance manufacturers also make systems where they provide you with a ‘special’ cell phone packaged with the cellular surveillance equipment that allows you to check in at your leisure.

For a relatively small fee you can contact a cell phone provider and turn a portable phone into a surveillance and tracking device. In most countries surveillance of an individual without their explicit consent is against the law.

Whether you are monitoring whom you call, the contents of the conversation, or their location, it is a violation of privacy laws in just about all civilized countries around the world.

You either need a law court’s permission or that person’s documented consent to use a cell phone GPS surveillance device to monitor them. Unfortunately the new technology is being used illegally far to often.

Divorced Husband Tracks Wife with Cell Phone

A terrifying example of abuse of a cell phone surveillance system and GPS occurred in Oregon. A wife divorced her husband because he was trying to control everything she did. Often the ex-husband would continue to stalk and try to control his ex-wife long after the divorce.

In this case everywhere she went, he would follow and there was nothing she could do to shake him off night or day. She was obviously and justifiably afraid he would kill her.

If you look through the history of murders, this situation often ends up being the motive where an excessively controlling man feels that he is losing his wife or ex-wife and in a fit of rage murders her as the ultimate act of control.

She complained to the police but there was not much they could do. After several months of this going on, the police checked her vehicle and found a cell phone behind the dashboard.

The ex-husband was using a cellular surveillance system with GPS, which was hooked up so that its battery was charged by the car’s battery. He then set the cell phone to silent answer.

At any time the ex-husband could call the cellular surveillance system and unless she was out for a long walk he would know exactly where she was and could even listen in on conversations going on in the car.

Your Phone can be Used Against You

Unfortunately your own cell phone can be used against you in a similar fashion if you are not careful. All it takes is for someone else to get a hold of your portable phone for about five minutes without you knowing about it.

Infiltrators can go on the internet, register your phone with a cellular surveillance system with GPS, and pay for it with their own credit card. All of this can happen without you knowing about it.

The cellular surveillance system will send several messages to your phone right away notifying you that you are being tracked. However if the person erases those messages you will never know they set up GPS surveillance on you.

Currently the software for these GPS surveillance devices does not contain significant safeguards against legal and privacy abuses but hopefully that will change before things get out of control.
