Good day folks. I'm looking to get or build myself a little listening bug device and I'm not sure where to start. Before we delve into WHY I need this (and it will be installed in my own home, just so you know ), let's look over how I imagine this device: I imagine something that can record from a microphone to an SD card and can then be accessed wirelessly to listen to what it recorded....sounds simple, but I could not find anything that fits the bill. I got fairly close with some projects which describe listening to a microphone wirelessly with an arduino or ESP, but none had a record feature, I'm guessing because the limited power of such devices makes it impossible to listen AND record to a card at the same time. I also don't suppose you can get any "hi-fi" quality out of something like this for the same reason. If there's someone like "Q" from James Bond in here who has any good ideas, I'd be happy to try them out The hardest bit I believe is going to be recording the sounds for later access, since live listening could be achieved relatively easy from what I learned.
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: Wireless recording device
Hey good idea. Why didn't I think of that ?! It's so simple it's positively brilliant ! Cheers dude !....I mean it can record, that's for sure (in very reasonable quality actually), but can I then download sh!t off of it and "manage" it remotely without having physical access to it ? That's going to be an issue, because it's going to be couched somewhere I won't have access to...I'll plant inside a TV. That's right, INSIDE the friggin TV, in the cabinet !Wattevah...

Re: Wireless recording device
I believe it will require rooting for some of this "off-label" uses. I'm actually talking more about controlling the thing, rather than downloading stuff from it, since once it's locked up, I can't go in there and hit record. I'd have to do that remotely somehow or via an app or stuff...Wattevah...

Re: Wireless recording device
When the touchscreen is busted, we usually go OTG....provided there isn't a part where you need to select something and it only works via the touchscreen, which I believe is what you're referring to, since the actual UI - no problem, OTG works like a charm and I have done it countless times. I looked up some "spy apps" for this purpose and found a few, but haven't actually tried anything - the offer is quite substantial...Wattevah...

Re: Wireless recording device
I'll probably do that after I've set up the hard part which is going to be the app or whatever does the job that I want. I have one of those little mics designed for CCTV cameras which has a little preamp module and sounds very good over large distances, so I reckon I can use that for even better results.Wattevah...

Re: Wireless recording device
Found a random app which sort-of does the job: it listens on the Viper and broadcasts the sound to the PC. Trouble is the "receiver" app works only on PC, no mobile version. It also doesn't record "locally" on the device that does the bugging - the computer does the recording, which is not practical. I'm also not sure how you'd access this setup remotely, at least not without a lot of hassle, so the overall idea works, but it's not there yet....
EDIT: found THIS one which comes even closer than the last one, offering WAN support and local storage (just like a DVR) but haven't tried it yet due to the poor reviews and...well I'm sleepy at the moment, so I'll take a nap first but I wanted you guys to see what it SHOULD do, since the description is very promising...functionality probably not so much, according to what the reviews say...Wattevah...

Now the question is what about the device side ? How do you enable remote access and stuff ? Would this allow live listening as well somehow?Wattevah...
