4 Camera DVR Surveillance System with Night Vision
We use this type of DVR system because it is very affordable, and gives a crisp picture not only in light, but in night vision. We use this in hopes of catching paranormal activity, and as a tool for teaching. We use the DVR system to record the most active areas in a location. Sometimes we have someone monitor it, and sometimes we just let it run, and then take the time to go over the video. The one we use comes with a 500 GB hard-drive, mouse, remote control, 4 IR cameras, and 4 cords (each is 60' long), and all the cables. The monitor is not included, and we got one at a pawn shop for $50. Zmodo makes the DVR system, and we got a basic one for around $230. We have upgraded to 100' and 150' cables over time.
Digital Cameras
In paranormal investigating, we use digital cameras to try to catch different types of paranormal activity in still modes.
Mel-Meter (Model 8704)
The Mel Meter Model 8704 was specifically designed for Paranormal Investigators. Many important features have been incorporated into this durable, precision hand held instrument.
Measures EMF & Temperature “Cold Spots” Simultaneously
The Mel Meter is the only Instrument that can do this. If you’re a Sci Fi Ghost Hunter fan, you’ll notice that during their Investigations, they will often encounter an EMF change which is usually followed by a significant Temperature drop. Now, imagine being able to validate both changes simultaneously, and be able to track the source in real time with one hand in total darkness! No more fumbling for a flashlight to see the display in the dark.

Digital Audio Recorder (with USB)
We use Digital Recorders to catch EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), which are disembodied voices or sounds that are not audible at the time, but can later be heard once the investigators are in evidence review. We use the RCA recorders because they come with a built in USB, and can attach to any computer. Not only does it have that feature, but it has it's own software installed on it.
The Ghost Box P-SB7 (Spirit Box)
The SB7 utilizes a milli-second adjustable Forward or Reverse frequency "sweep" technique coupled with a proprietary high frequency synthetic noise or "white noise" distributed between frequency steps. The New 2011 model now offers an enhanced FM frequency sweep which includes an additional 119 new frequencies from 76MHz to 87.9MHz.
A seven step adjustable sweep rate provides user flexibility based on individual technique and session circumstances.

Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer
We use these type of thermometers when we are taking temperature readings from across the room when an investigator feels a sudden temperature change in their area. Very useful tool. It's just a point and shoot tool, and it shoots a red light out at where you are training it at.
Mini-Mag-lite Flashlight
We use this particular flashlight to not only help us see our way in the dark, but we use it to try to communicate with spirits. We turn the tip to the almost on position, and let it sit there for about 5 minutes, and then we ask for a spirit to try to turn it on. IF it turns on, we ask for it to turn the light off. If it does, we will then start asking questions (mostly "yes" and "no") to communicate with them.
We do NOT use this as a way to prove a place is haunted. We use it as a last effort to communicate with them. we ONLY take it seriously if we are getting EVPs or other phenomena going on at the same time.
