Tools we use

 

We have been building up a nice collection of investigating equipment and continue to add more. But we are always open to test out new equipment, so if you think you have any tools that would be perfect for our investigations and you would like to share with us, please feel free to send us an email.

 

 

We will always try to keep you updated if we are trying out some new equipment, if we find a great new paranormal website or just to keep you posted on some of our upcoming investigations. If you ever have any questions or if you think you have something that needs investigating and were either afraid to ask or didn't know where to turn, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Video equipment





DVR System
The Digital Video Recording system is a setup that allows us to set up various IR cameras in different sections of a location and all the cameras send information back to the DVR as it records every second of information into one mainframe system. think of it was setting up multiple camcorders in a place without having to check up on each one to replace tapes.

Wireless motion sensors

Motion Detectors
Passive motion detectors are used by SSGH. The main purpose of these is to detect movement (400 foot range). SSGH will use these for example on stairs or perhaps in a distant location. An audible alarm will warn the team members of movement in a particular area. By setting these up in an organized manner, one can track movement by audible alarms.

EMF meters



EMF METER
The EMF meter stands for Electro Magnetic Field. Electro magnetic fields are given off by electronics and devices, TVs, computers, radios, all sorts of devices give off magnetic readings and the same with ghosts. If you get a normal reading  and there is a sudden fluctuation, you need to determine the source. Bye moving around with the meter, one can determine if the source leads back to an electrical socket or if it is free floating and moving.
