Claiming to be more than just a game, SpyToy offers a security system for paranoid gamers. If you are convinced your mum is always snooping around your room when you are out, then SpyToy is for you. With its surveillance functionality you can catch unwanted visitors in the act and surprise them with a pre recorded personal message. SpyToy features face recognition technology to keep your system secure from unauthorised users. It’s not all about home security though, as SpyToy also has a game mode where you enrol at the SIA and undertake a series of missions to track down criminals
