There’s nothing better than wearable spy equipment when performing a secret surveillance operation. It’s undetectable to the naked eye and it’s just as powerful as some larger spy devices. One type of such wearable spy equipment is spy listening devices.



Spy audio surveillance devices, like phone bugs, distant audio recorders or cell phone-like audio spy gadgets are simply ideal for secret spying missions. While video is very useful, in some situations, you simply can’t getaway with it alone. You need audio surveillance equipment to do the job. So these devices help private investigators and police forces to capture critical conversations over the phone, or face to face.

Types of Wearable Audio Surveillance Devices

It can be anything. For example a show button of a ladies blouse or an ordinary looking hat. Or even a pair of sunglasses that have a spy camera inside; or a lighter. The advantage of these spy audio tools is that they can still record audio, even if you’re not wearing them. For example, one can “accidentally" forget a cigarette-lighter in the room and walk away. No one will even consider that such lighter is recording every sound it hears in the room.

In such cases, an audio pen or spy glasses with microphones installed could be extremely valuable. Moreover, there are so tiny spy microphones that you could barely see them from a distance even if they aren’t hidden from you. Such mini audio spying devices measure only 1/8 inch in diameter. You could easily take a gum from your mouth, and stick the bug under the table (or any other less obvious place) and let it record anything you want 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You could even take a mini spy device and incorporate it into your clothes or other accessories, like purse, earrings or hairgrip. The possibilities of secret surveillance are endless.

Phone Bugs for Audio Surveillance

Phone bugs are probably the most common audio surveillance device. We’ve all heard the phrase in the movies - bug. Phone bug is simply a small audio spying device that is attached to the phone (usually inside the phone) and which performs an audio surveillance. It sends signals to other location to stream the voice of the suspect.

Sometimes, phone bugs are not necessarily put into the regular phone directly. In some cases, a phone bug may be put near the phone and still be able to capture the conversation and send the signal to another location. Such bugs may look like everyday objects – clocks, radios, cell phones, watches and so on.

A very neat feature that phone bugs have is that they do not need to record the audio all the time, non-stop. They can turn on and record the conversation only when someone is talking. Why would you need to keep listening to the silence just to find the part when the suspect starts talking? Such more advanced phone bugs sort of guard until the phone is picked up and someone starts talking. You can hear only recorded voices, which makes it very convenient to perform an audio surveillance.

Cell Phone Audio Surveillance

As technology progresses all the time, we now have the ability to spy on almost anybody using devices that look like regular everyday objects we use. For instance – a cell phone. Who would’ve thought that a cell phone could be a great surveillance tool? But it is. And it’s actually another very useful device from audio surveillance equipment series.

While these spy cell phones with audio equipment function just like any other cell phone you know (the ability to make and receive calls, store contact records and even to have an integrated camera), they also allow you to spy on the suspect.

But let’s clarify a little bit.

We’re not talking here about cell phones that spy on others (like another wearable spy equipment device). We’re talking about cell phones that allow you to connect to them and track someone’s conversation over that cell phone.

Such spy audio devices are very useful to parents if they want to spy on their teenager. If you give such a cell phone (even with a brand name on it) to a teen, they’ll be flattered. Who wouldn’t want to get a cell phone for free? But in reality, you could listen to their conversations and even know where they are at the moment with the help of GPS system installed. Not only parents can spy on their kids, they can always find out where their kids are at the moment.

While such a cell phone is a nightmare to a teenager, it’s a boon for caring parents.
