How detect if MP3 player is recording in your room? [OT]
"Joey" wrote in message ... "Joey" wrote in message Suppose someone visited your office or home and tried to make a voice recording using a hidden recorder. If they used a older-style dictation machine based on tape then you could detect the electromagnetic transmissions from the dictation machine when it was recording. But how would you detect if someone was secretly recording with an MP3 player that recorded to flash memory? Is there some transmission which could be detected? Perhaps some low power ultra high frequency from chip refresh cycles?

(It will cover more frequencies that humans can hear.) The pattern is on at a particular time then off, it varies in certain ways that will enable further analysis of any: IF and RF? Intermediate Frequencies (IF) or Radio Frequencies (RF) given off by a device reacting to the pattern of sound. If there is any IF or RF detected that corresponds/matches the on off times of the pattern of sound, you know there is a device responding to the sound in the room. A more sophisticated analysis of the detected response to the pattern, can provide a great deal of information about the device detected. That would be beyond the scope of your question, and your security clearance, as well. Luck; Ken |
