WiFi Listen and Record Extension Lead

Following the successful launch of our other mains powered WiFi listen and record products it was an obvious choice to also incorporate the same great technology into an extension plug. Available as a four or six gang option the WiFi Listen & Record Extension Lead makes for the perfect addition to our long-term WiFi listening device range of products

For many years, when setting up for audio surveillance, there was always a choice to be made between either deploying a device to simply listen in or leave on in position to automatically record, although it was a long-term held ambition to create a product to fulfil both requirements in one. In creating the WiFi Listening Device range, especially in the form mains powered objects we have effectively created a solution that completes our aim.

What To Expect From The WiFi Listen & Record Extension Lead

Mains Powered Cleverly Disguised Technology

Many of our products are by original design powered from a mains supply, which generally ensures that they can be left plugged in and draw no unwanted attention. Incorporating surveillance technology inside shouldn’t mean there are any obvious signs of non-standard circuitry contained within and no interference with original function and on both of these points, that is the case here. All power outlets on the WiFi Listen & Record Extension Lead still work and therefore other mains powered devices can be plugged in and there are no external switches of ports to give rise to any suspicion.

Remote Listening Made Simple Via Smartphone App

Are you wondering how to eavesdrop on a conversation? Monitoring through a Smartphone App, you can eavesdrop ‘live’, whilst the device simultaneously records audio footage, triggered by sounds from the surrounding environment. The WiFi Listen & Record Extension Lead is very easy to operate – simply connect to a power outlet (ensure it’s turned on). The audio surveillance electronics will immediately power up and enter setup mode, so you can link with the smartphone app, which you can download for free from the App Store or Google Play.

Setup & Control From An Android Device or iPhone

Over the years live listening technology has made numerous advances. Earlier devices relied on FM and UHF analogue transmitters, providing limited distance and then with the introduction of the cell phone, GSM was adopted taking transmission distances from local to worldwide. The use of a globally established communication system attracts fees for use, which may involve contract, meaning ongoing costs to ensure that the SIM associated with the GSM device stays active. In addition the ability for a GSM device to record as well has and still is been very limited.

The WiFi Listen and Record Extension Lead cleverly integrates voice activated recording and for the ‘live’ listening element utilises the most widely used 2.4GHz WiFi frequency for remote connection for listening in, setup, control and streaming back recordings. Modern Routers use both 2.4 and 5GHz frequencies that can be set to run side by side. The Android and iPhone app secures communication with the Extension Lead using 2.4GHz, providing worldwide remote access. Here are some main advantages to using existing WiFi networks:

• Easily controlled using Android or iPhone app-based system
• Harmonious with twenty-first century Internet-ready smartphones that use WiFi or mobile data connection
• Unique control app universally available for both Android and iPhone, relevant for almost 100% of handheld mobile handsets
• No ongoing communication costs or hidden extras associated with standard usage
• Designed for existing WiFi network infrastructure, offering worldwide connectivity

Is there anything visible on the outside of the WiFi Extension Lead, such as a switch of some kind that would alert unwanted attention?

Other than a very small microphone hole discreetly located on one of the side flat faces of the the extension lead body, there is nothing at all that would create any suspicion.

Are there any LED status lights or confirmation sounds during operation?

Because the functionality of this product is purely controlled via a smartphone app (iPhone or Android) and the act of plugging in initiates setup there was no need for any external lights or status sounds .

Because this product isn’t controlled using a computer, is it still fairly simple enough to keep track on the recorded audio files?

As each file is recorded it is automatically given the time and date reference which ensures that it is easy to catalogue them in order. To retain the recorded files they can be downloaded via the free smartphone app that is provided for control and settings.

Does the WiFi Listen and Record Extension Lead only take power from the mains supply or is there a backup battery in case it gets unplugged from the mains supply?

Power is only drawn from the mains power when plugged in as there is insufficient room within to accommodate a battery of any significant size.

What happens to the settings if the WiFi Listen and Record Extension Lead is unplugged from the mains power supply?

When plugged back in the device’s previous settings will be retained, however there is a 5 minutes phase whereby the setup procedure activates. As long as this is ignored the previous settings will continue.
