Our Story: Demystifying the World of Spy Gear Since 2014
You're here because you need answers. You're facing a situation that requires clarity, and you need a tool to help you find it. The problem? The surveillance industry can be a confusing, and frankly, a shady place. It’s filled with outdated gadgets, questionable sellers, and very little guidance.
That’s why SpyGuy exists.
I’m Allen Walton, the founder of SpyGuy.com. Back in 2014, I decided to build a different kind of security shop—one founded on transparency, expertise, and a genuine desire to help.
From a Sketchy Shop to a Trusted Online Resource
My journey started years ago in a classic brick-and-mortar spy shop. You know the type—the kind of place everyone’s a little hesitant to walk into. While working there, I saw two things very clearly:
-
The products were fascinating. Hidden cameras and GPS trackers were powerful tools that helped people solve real, often painful, problems.
-
The customer experience was broken. People needed privacy. I watched customers get embarrassed when they recognized each other, or leave if another shopper walked in. The experience was intimidating when it should have been empowering.
I knew there had to be a better way. By creating an online-only store, we could offer total privacy, eliminate the costs of an expensive retail storefront, and pass those savings directly on to you. More importantly, we could build a company focused entirely on the customer.
The SpyGuy Difference: Why We're Not Like the Other Guys
We’ve helped over 100,000 customers—from everyday people and private investigators to police departments and Fortune 500 companies. They choose us because they know we do things differently.
-
Expertly Curated, Hassle-Free Products: Our competitors try to sell everything, including poorly made and outdated junk. That leads to frustration and returns. We take a different approach. We rigorously test our equipment and only sell products we know work and are easy to use. If we wouldn’t use it, we won’t sell it.
-
Real Experts, Not Call Centers: When you contact us, you’re not talking to a part-time employee reading from a script. You’re connecting with a seasoned expert who knows our products inside and out. We’ve been doing this for a long time, and we're here to guide you to the right solution.
-
The Small Team Advantage: Being a small, focused company is our superpower. It allows us to be faster, more attentive, and offer better prices than the big, faceless corporations. Our customers often tell us they wish they’d found us sooner, and that’s the highest compliment we can receive.
-
Policies That Put You First: We believe in treating our customers fairly. That’s why you get fast, free shipping on every order and a straightforward 60-day return policy that lets your return a product for any reason. All products have a 1 year warranty.
Need a custom solution?
Our expertise goes beyond our catalog. We frequently partner with businesses on custom projects, from creating hundreds of covert cameras for a major department store's loss prevention to helping an insurance company catch workers' compensation fraud. If you have a unique challenge, we can build the perfect solution.
Thank you for trusting us. We know the situations our customers face are often stressful. Our mission is to make finding a solution the easiest part of your journey.
