 Port City Paranormal  continues to expand and modify equipment  to  obtain the best data for our research.
Not every vigil is the same and a wide variety of equipment allows us to use the best tools to cover each site
completely.
 Here are examples of our gear, old and new for reference. We suggest you try before you buy, or ask for
suggestions to what will suit your needs. Sometimes the simplest is the best, but your best tool is always You !
Photography and Sound Recording:
Nighthawk Day/Night Infrared Video Cameras
(sound capable) Nighthawk 4 channel wireless
video receiver. Toshiba DVD recorder,and portable
DVD player to monitor for camera placement  
Sony Coolpix 14.1 megapixel digital camera.

video camera recording station. Each case contains
Toshiba DVD recorder, extra discs, extension cords,
remote,and powerstrip.  Additional connections for

No "central command" needed.
Each camera/audio set up
records independently,
preventing loss of all data
caused by equipment failure.
Portable IR camera , recorder and power source.
Mini DVR also used to adjust other camera shots,
Sound Recording:
A good suggestion is to turn all recorders on as investigators enter the site to
be sure no EVP/ITC are missed. The theory is that spirits  may have more
energy to use at the begining of vigil.

Micro DVD used with Head Cam
Port City Paranormal uses  Sony
digital recorders for the clarity of
recording and ease of use. Jane
hates pink but they were on
special!  We all carry one in small
holders to keep hands free.  Extra
recorders are positioned  to
trianglate source and direction of
possible anomalies.
*%#@)^*%#@!#$^~":>) Camera!
This is a Radio Shack magnetic
microphone wth speaker.
Originally used to record phone
conversations, this device was
recommended by Michael
Esposito. When placed against
solid objects, it can pick up
embedded vibrations i.e. EVP.
They have been used by other
researchers to picking up
localized magnetic anomalies in
the atmosphere!
There are times that we
need external microphones,
especially when using
cassette tape recorders to
elimiate motor sounds or to
fit in tight spaces.
