Note: The Equal Justice Foundation does not endorse, warrant, or support any of the surveillance hardware or software listed here. Nor are we affiliated in any way with any of the companies or suppliers. The information is provided solely for the purpose of defense against false allegations.

 

Surveillance technology is both improving and becoming more affordable. While we are well aware of the potential for abuse of surveillance, the level of threat many men, women, and their children face justifies virtually any defense they can mount.

Note that most of the hardware and software listed works only on a PC. Surveillance hardware and software is a fast-growing field so it may also be advisable to use a search engine to obtain a broader view of what is available. Whenever possible, digital recording devices are preferable to analog, or tape recording.

Remote computer access

There is a very high probability that the first sign you'll have that Cupcake is unhappy with you is an ex parte restraining order. If you have surveillance hardware and software running, or even if you don't, you will probably want access to your computer even if forced out of your home. Fortunately there are a variety of methods to do that. But such methods probably won't do you much good if you don't have them installed and tested in advance of Cupcake's little surprise.

You should also take every reasonable precaution to prevent unauthorized access to your computer(s) and keep offsite backups at least once a month of critical files.

Here are but a few of the many ways you can remotely access your computer as well as protect it from intrusion:

Adeona — Open source system for tracking location of your lost or stolen laptop. Does not rely on a proprietary, central service.
Domestic Emergency Monitoring Intelligence (DEMi) — Monitors and records domestic disputes. Personal emergency response systems with protocols specifically designed for domestic violence situations.
Google Directory — Computers > Software > Networking > Remote Access
GoToMyPC — Access your PC from any web browser or wireless device.
Macintosh Airport Extreme — Up to 500 foot wireless connection to late-model Macs or connect to the Internet through the base station.
SANS — The most trusted source for computer security training, certification and research.
