Listening devices

Eavesdropping equipment is used in both private and business situations. You need more information and with the help of the listening equipment you can obtain this information. For example, the recording of a conversation or making a video recording. Because this equipment immediately receives the information, action can be taken quickly.

Eavesdropping equipment is available in various models and types. Most devices use a SIM card module in which a SIM card must be placed. When you then call the number, you will hear what is being said in the vicinity of the listening equipment.

• Battery eavesdropping devices
  These are the most common types where the SIM card or shipping module, together with a battery, is placed in a small box or shrink wrap.
• Eavesdropping equipment built into an object
  There are also models where the SIM card or transmitting module is concealed in an object. A popular model of this listening device is the power strip.
• Eavesdropping equipment to connect to power
  These products have a connection to be connected to 220 or 12 volts.

You place eavesdropping equipment in a room or carry it with you unnoticed. Microphone sensitivity plays an important role here. For example, you can opt for listening devices that are suitable for making sound recordings at a distance of 5 to 10 meters. This makes these recorders suitable for almost all situations. You will also find a flush-mounted transmitter in our range. It has a microphone sensitivity of up to 15 meters and has light and sound detection.

If you want to be able to listen in on conversations remotely, we offer you the listening device with SIM card. This listening device works on mains power or batteries. You place a SIM card in the device, when you call the corresponding number, the monitoring transmitter is switched on. It is even possible to use sound detection. In this case, the GSM transmitter calls a pre-programmed telephone number when it detects sound. This way you will always be informed when noises occur in the room.

Although initially most listening devices were made in the USA, UK, Japan, Russia and Israel, in recent years a lot of listening devices have also been produced in China. As a result of this development, the price of eavesdropping devices has dropped significantly and is available to a much greater extent than was previously the case. There is of course always a difference in quality and although this does not always coincide with the price, there is of course a difference between a listening device of €50 and a model of €1000.00.

Besides GSM transmitters and spy voice recorders for the private market, there are also listening devices which are intended for professional users. For example, there is listening equipment that looks like a normal SD card, but has a hidden voice recorder with listening function. With this product you can remotely switch the listening device on and off via a web page and actively listen in directly, but you can also download the recorded sound files. That is really listening devices 2.0. With us, of course, simply directly in stock and a demonstration is possible on request.

Eavesdropping and eavesdropping mean the same at first glance. But there is an important distinction. Because when you listen in, those who are conducting the conversation are aware that you are hearing them. That is not the case with eavesdropping.

Eavesdropping equipment can clarify situations. When making agreements, a verbal agreement or to check employees: listening devices do not lie. In a dispute or lawsuit, sound recordings are sometimes accepted as legal evidence. However, the use of listening devices is not permitted in all cases. In this article you will find out when it is legal to use listening devices.

• Eavesdropping on employees
  Employers like to monitor employees. Eavesdropping on employees is primarily intended to monitor productivity and the way they work. It can also help to prevent corporate fraud. If there is a valid reason for recording a conversation, this is allowed, often permission is requested in advance.
• Eavesdropping equipment in home situations
  In home situations, listening equipment is used in all kinds of ways and it often proves difficult to check when this happens. However, you should realize that secretly eavesdropping is in principle punishable. This changes when eavesdropping equipment is used for legitimate purposes, in which case the police and the judiciary have powers for this.
• Recording a telephone conversation
  Do you have a telephone conversation yourself? Then you can record this. You do not have to request permission for this and you do not have to report this. However, you may not eavesdrop on telephone conversations in which you are not participating. However, it may sometimes be necessary to eavesdrop on such conversations, for example if fraud or crime is suspected. In this case, a judge may decide that recording is admissible.
• When is it really punishable?
  Eavesdropping on conversations is a gray area. When is it allowed and when is it really punishable? This depends on your situation, the judge ultimately decides whether a recording has been obtained illegally or legally. Distribution of recordings is not allowed, unless participants of a conversation have given permission for this. This permission does not always have to be specifically obtained. Are sound recordings made during a meeting, speech or festival? Please indicate this at the entrance gate or entrance. When entering a room, the spectator or participant agrees to make sound recordings. As you can see, different rules apply in all kinds of situations!
