WiFi Listen and Record Extension Lead

We wouldn’t have a complete lineup of mains-powered WiFi listening and recording products without an extension lead. We’ve chosen a classic-style power strip to house our extremely popular listen and record module. Available in both 4 and 6 gang models with fully functional outlets, this device is perfect for long-term deployment.

For years, deploying a device for audio surveillance meant a tough choice between either listening in live or to leave the device to automatically record for later review. The long-standing goal was always to combine both capabilities into a single product. With the creation of our WiFi Listening Device range, particularly the mains-powered objects, we have finally achieved this 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

What Are The Fundamental Features?

There are numerousadvantages of listening in with this WiFi audio gadget and similar devices, for example:

Perfect All Purpose Listening Product

Secret audio surveillance has always been one of the most important intelligence and evidence gathering requirements. The WiFi Listen and Record Extension Lead, with it’s covert design and multi-faceted functionality adds an essential surveillance tool for so many scenarios, averting the need for separate devices to undertake each of the elements of listening and recording.
To use this product in your home, your office, warehouse or store all that you need is a WiFi connection with 2.4GHz frequency availability and of course a suitable mains power outlet where a multi-plug extension lead wouldn’t look out of place for extended time periods. As long as you are deploying the device for legal purposes, the scenarios for utilising such a voice recording device are only limited by the imagination.

If someone plugs different devices into the power strip, will there be any indication that it’s anything but a standard mains extension lead?

The multi-plug extension works as a regular mains power lead, allowing you to power other devices while simultaneously monitoring. The charging output is completely normal. There will be no visible warnings or giveaways.

Can the internal SD storage card be changed or increased in size after purchase?

This is possible, but we do not recommend a higher capacity card. In any event, this would have to be done when disconnected from the mains supply as this would require accessing the internal electronics. The included 32 GB memory is generally more than sufficient for the vast majority of uses.

Are there any built-in LED indicator lights that would be obvious?

Although there are LED lights on the internal electronics, these are masked and not visible externally. There is however a very small discreet microphone hole on one of the side faces of the device.

If the device is unplugged from the mains power supply or gets switched off at the wall, will it still work for a while?

This product has not been designed with any backup battery. As soon as the mains power is disconnected or switched off, all functionality and connectivity will cease.

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.
