Mains Socket Voice Recorder

Wall socket power outlets can be found in virtually every room in every house or office and this makes them the perfect everyday item in which to build in an audio recorder without attracting any unwanted attention. The Mains Socket Voice Recorder has been designed with this in mind.

Standard Look Double Wall Power Outlet

Although this product looks like any common double mains wall socket, in fact it conceals a very high quality sound recording system that is very simple to use once the socket has been installed. The mains socket voice recorder flash memory system works independently of the mains socket system, ensuring both mains power outlets can be used to power electrical appliances in the normal manner.

Designed to be Discreet

Once installed in a wall-mounted flush position, there are no external signs on the face, sides, or top lip that this double socket is anything unusual. This is because the charging port and pin-operated switch for the mains socket voice recorder are located on the bottom lip of the recording device, facing the floor/carpet, and therefore completely out of view under normal circumstances. After installation, the battery and recording circuitry remain hidden within the wall cavity behind the socket face.

Large Memory Capacity – Sensitive Microphone

The recording capacity of this system is in excess of 288 hours, and the internal battery fitted to the mains socket voice recorder gives up to 75 days standby time and 76 hours of actual continuous recording time. The system is sound activated, ensuring recording only takes place when audio is detected in the surrounding environment. Charging the battery is achieved using the supplied USB lead and mains adapter, while the sensitive microphone on this mains socket voice recorder picks up clear sound up to 10 metres away.

Time and Date Referencing

Each recorded file has a time and date reference, making it easier to identify circumstances when listening back to recordings. Files from the mains socket voice recorder can be downloaded onto a laptop when connected using the supplied USB lead. Recordings can then be stored and played back on the laptop in the normal manner without requiring specialist software (the computer simply needs a standard media player).

For When Adding to an Environment is Not Possible

Quite often it is possible to introduce an item into a room environment without causing suspicion, but where this is not an option, an existing feature with recording functionality can be the only solution to achieve covert recording. This is where this mains power outlet recorder comes into its own, blending into any room with complete ease. This product is fully compatible with all Windows and Mac computer systems.

Will the normal power outlet sockets still work on the mains socket voice recorder?

Yes, the mains power functionality has been completely preserved and the recording system within this voice recorder is separately powered from an internal lithium battery.

How long will the system record for?

The device can remain in voice-activated standby for up to 75 days. When actively recording, it provides up to 76 hours of actual audio capture before needing a recharge.

Is the mains socket voice recorder silent in operation?

Yes, the device is completely digital with no moving parts, audible clicks, or indicator lights that could draw attention while the mains socket voice recorder is active.

Do the recordings from the recorder have a time and date stamp?

Yes, the time and date reference is embedded onto each separate audio file generated by the mains socket voice recorder.

How is the system switched on and off?

There is a small pin-sized hole on the bottom edge of the socket faceplate. By using the supplied pin tool, the mains socket voice recorder can easily be toggled on and off.

If the battery runs out, will the files on the audio recorder still remain stored?

Yes, all recordings are safely auto-saved to the internal flash memory and will remain on the mains socket voice recorder until manually deleted via a computer connection.

How do I retrieve the files from the internal memory of the recorder?

Simply attach the magnetic charging lead to the bottom port of the mains socket voice recorder and connect it to a PC or laptop. The onboard memory opens like a standard USB flash drive for easy file offloading.

• To retrieve recordings, connect a laptop or tablet on-site via the magnetic USB lead directly to the bottom port of the wall socket.
• A Windows PC or Mac with working speakers is required for playback. Files save in MP3 format and play on standard media software (such as VLC Media Player, recommended by Spy Equipment UK).
