I'm not comfortable scanning my card details and photo id to a company on the net. Is it safe?
We know it's a lot to ask, but on international orders, we take a lot of chances. The scans are used to verify the name on the credit card making sure the customer actually the owner of the card. However it is safe since you can mask off sensitive information on the scan (except for your name)for example... example credit card

We can ship the same day of the order as long as the order is placed before 3:30 PM ET. The delivery time then depends on the shipping method you would choose?

Hi, how can you find out if any cameras were installed in my home with out my knowledge?
Hi, you will need counter surveillance items, but we do not sell them. Search for "spy camera detector" in Google.
What is the cost of shipping for an international orders? How long will it take to receive the order?
When you go through the shopping cart process, it will fully inform you of the S/H charge & ETA before committing to the order. Also, it is solely customer's responsibility to pay any import duty, brokerage fee or any other taxes that may be involved. UPS GND is cheaper to Canada but there is $50.00 flat brokerage fee (plus tax & duty on top of the S/H). Best shipping method is by EMS or FedEx where there is no brokerage fee..
What is the shipping charge?
If you go through the shopping cart process, you will be informed of exact S/H charge before you commit to the order.
What is your return policy?
Please see: http://www.spycameras.com/customer-service/?id=terms-and-conditions
I would like to place an international order. What will be the tax and duties? Can you reduce the value so I would pay less import tax?
Hi, we can ship to any countries listed on our shopping cart. We do not know the import tax rate for your country and the receiver is 100% liable for it. Please check with your local import agent. We can also lower the value if you wish (you can indicate the value at our "other request" section on our cart") but if there would be any problem with the package, we can only give you back the claimed amount since insurance value cannot be higher than the claimed value.
Why don't you post samples videos for all other cameras?
Video quality of a camera really depends on the recorder that is connected to. Also, since cameras are analog, it need to be converted to digital format to post on the web, loosing resolution in the process. That is why we only have sample videos for "all in one system" that has a built-in digital recorder.
