I'm in thr process of planning a prank on my best friend. In order to do what I have in mind I need some sort of recording device/listening bug.


It needs to be left at the location for at least 24 hours

What's the cheapest and easiest way to do this?

Would something like this be ok?

Indeed, I cannot think of any jape that will require you to bug your mates house and listen to his private conversations.

Hmm, regardless of the intent I have to say I'd be pissed off at any mate playing a prank on me that involved recording me for a day without my knowledge.

What you do is you take up the floor boards of the room you want to spy on and then put some drinks and some snacks down there and a torch and a pen and paper then hide under the floor boards and wait.

When you hear something take notes and soon the mystery will be solved.

Or, when you hear something, spring forth from under the boards and shout 'gotcha'.

Trying to work out how big the battery is. Is it built in? I've got a pair of bugging devices and they require a 9V battery each (the smaller rectangular one) - not that subtle. You can tune in via a normal FM radio, though, so you can record what you hear. I would get a pic for you but they're at my neighbours'. evil

Hehehehehehe..

How is easy is it to tune via FM radio? How close do you have to be to listen?

TBH I have yet to use them in anger (or pleasure). Someone was throwing them out so I said I'd have them. I have no idea if they work.
