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 motion sensor telephone intruder alert 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 parameter
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
TeleSpy's 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.
