New Equipment

8 Camera CCTV System

The team have just purchased a BTR-3104/25 OCD 8 channel CCTV system. This includes a Prestigio 17'' TFT monitor, and IR cameras to enable us to film every area within the location we are investigating. This will be monitored along with other stats at the group's base station, ensuring we capture any events, paranormal or other as they happen. The system also has a built in DVD burner, which will save time in that it will allow us to make an instant copy of any footage we feel needs to be focussed on and more in depth analysis can then be carried out at another location. The system can be set up to record on all cameras continuously for 3 or 4 days.

Condenser Microphone System

Another essential piece of kit NIPS has recently purchased is a set of highly sensitive condenser microphones with mixing desk. This will complement the CCTV system, allowing us to enjoy full audio/visual monitoring capabilities throughout the location being investigated. The live feeds are input to a PC running Adobe Audition, enabling our Audio/Visual team to closely monitor each area. Any EVP samples can then be analysed from the produced recordings.

NIPS in BBC TV Series - Latest

Haunted Ireland

We are delighted to announce that NIPS have been selected to take part in a new six part TV series for BBC Northern Ireland. The series is called 'Haunted Ireland' and will be presented by well known paranormal investigator Andy Matthews and will feature guest clairvoyant medium Marion Goodfellow.

Haunted Ireland is not another Most Haunted. This series promises to deliver new scientific research and experimentation never before seen on TV to gather evidence for and against the existence of spirits. The series is honest, true to life and very fly-on-the-wall in its approach. The series is in the late stages of pre-production with filming to commence late summer. It will be shown on BBC1 in January 2009. The team have been preparing for the series for some time now, and thus we have been unable to commit as much time to Public Investigations, although a number of private home investigations are still ongoing.
