Never? Well, take note of the company now as they have just annonuced a new advanced hand-held cellphone detector, where it is aptly known as the Bloodhound, paying homage to our four-legged friends who fall under that category, boasting a keen sense of smell. The Bloodhound is able to empower security officers to scan real-time for unauthorized cellphone activity in correctional facilities, helping detect the precise location of the caller courtesy of a Direction Finding Antenna.  Interestingly enough, it seems that security officers are losing the battle since contraband cellphones get more commonplace, being smuggled into correctional facilities so that criminal activity can continue behind the bars. Locating and confiscating contraband cellphones which are being smuggled can be a tricky task, even with the help of monitoring sensors, X-ray scanners, metal detectors, drug and bomb dogs. Even cellphone jamming isn\u2019t sufficient to address the growing problem of handset smuggling, which is why the Bloodhound cellphone detector was invented. It is definitely a boon since it is capable of detecting a cellphone within a correctional facility without interfering with citizens\u2019 or public safety communications.  Just like its flesh-and-blood counterpart, the Bloodhound was designed to track down and pinpoint contraband cell phones without interfering with authorized communication channels. It uses a high speed scanning multi-band receiver harnessed to a DF-Direction Finding Antenna, enabling security officers to \u2019sniff out\u2019 the RF energy \u2013 similar in method as to how an actual Bloodhound dog is able to detect a scent which a human could never discern. The Bloodhound\u2019s special algorithm can trigger on to a cellphone while it is still active, and a headphone jack with a progressive audible alert tone and an accompanying vibrator is able to alert security officers of cellphone activity whenever they get closer to the source. Don\u2019t you think that teachers in schools and lecturers at colleges would love to get their hands on the Bloodhound as well?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2007 <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freakitude.com\" title=\"Technology News &#038; Blogging Tips\">Freakitude dot Com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"akst_link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freakitude.com\/?p=957&amp;akst_action=share-this\"  title=\"E-mail this, post to del.icio.us, etc.\" id=\"akst_link_957\" class=\"akst_share_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Share This<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/freakitude?a=AgdfEHNqFBQ:eQ2bLiVjwS4:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/freakitude?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/freakitude?a=AgdfEHNqFBQ:eQ2bLiVjwS4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/freakitude?i=AgdfEHNqFBQ:eQ2bLiVjwS4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heard of Berkeley Varitronics Systems before?
