FLIR Thermal Imagining Camera |
|
![]() ![]() |
Thermography
is a technique for detecting and measuring variations in the heat emitted
and transforming them into visible signals that can be recorded
photographically using infrared technology by measuring thermal radiation.
Our Fluke Insight FLIR Infrared Thermal Camera is a long wave, handheld, focal plane array camera that is capable of sensing temperature differences as small as 0.1 degrees C (0.18 to 0.26 Fahrenheit). With this sensitivity and the array format, image quality is excellent. It can be used at anytime during the day or night. This device senses thermal infrared heat even when using the device in no or low light operations as this device is immune to light deprivation. This camera is best suited for heat loss assessments that are common with paranormal activity. The camera has a video output jack allowing the storage of digital video to DVR as well as still images to its internal memory.

|
This VCR has resolution, 3x color bandwidth (vs.
VHS) and significantly higher S/N ratio, to provide stunning video
performance. 16-bit PCM allows for CD-quality stereo sound. The GV-D900
utilizes the 12bit PCM record mode to add, in post production, an
additional high quality, stereo soundtrack. You can add music or
narration to your videos without affecting your original soundtrack.
i.LINK (IEEE 1394) DV Input/Output lets you edit between two digital
camcorders or a camcorder and a deck with virtually no generation loss.
The i.LINK interface allows for direct communication between your DV
Handycam camcorder and your PC, with optional DV capture card.

Motion Detectors (4) |
|
![]() |
Passive
Infrared Motion Detectors are a useful tool for ghost hunters. Keystone
Paranormal uses several of these. They work great when left in a room
during the time when no investigator is present. The motion detectors used
by paranormal investigators project an infrared beam. When the beam is
disrupted the unit will light up giving the investigator a clue that
spirits may be present in that area.

Electromagnetic Field Detectors |
|
![]()
|
Keystone Paranormal uses EMF detectors on every investigation. It is believed spirits gather whatever sources of energy available to them in order to manifest themselves. In doing this they may give off an electromagnetic field that can be detected by an EMF detector. We do an initial sweep of the place to be investigated and record what we call a base line reading. This is done to establish a recorded normal reading of the environment we are investigating so any increased readings can be noted during the investigation that may indicate possible activity. EMF readings of 2 to 7 MG are indicative of possible spirit activity. |
| Flashlights | |
![]() |
The flashlight is a mandatory item for
Keystone Paranormal when conducting
any investigation. It is always a good idea to check out the place to be
investigated during daylight hours for safety reasons. It is always good
safety practice to always travel in pairs and have a simple first aid kit available. |

Digital Voice Recorders (6) |
|
|
Most
researchers now use digital voice recorders to record EVPs with much
success. This is one of the models we personally use on every
case for EVP recordings as well as taking notes during an investigation.

A laptop or notebook computer is essential to all investigations as it is a means to monitor and store data. |

CCTV Cameras with DVR Recording System |
|
|
|
The heart of any paranormal investigation investigation is A/V recording equipment and video tends to speak a lot louder than photographs. Keystone Paranormal utilizes 2 DVR recording systems that can record any of our 16 night vision CCTV cameras and store the recorded images on the DVR systems massive hard drives.

Wireless Microphone |
|
|
|
Wireless microphones are an amazing and often overlooked tool for paranormal research. A wireless microphone, transmitter, receiver, allow you to record audio straight on to the hard drive of your laptop computer, virtually eliminating background noise. It is coded green or red (with different frequencies), so it is possible to use two microphones at the same location. The wireless transmitter has an effective Distance: 90 to 100 feet, with a Frequency Response of 100 to 10,000 Hz. feet,
with a Frequency Response of 100 to 10,000 Hz. |
