Maybe all of you who somehow have been looking into surveillance operations know that usually investigators like voice recorders rather than bug transmitters. I suppose that most of them believe a micro recorder may fit investigational needs in a better way. Anyway Let’s see here the difference between the two kind of devices.
When it is better using a bug transmitter
Certainly one of the biggest problems found in bug using concerns power supply, I mean giving the device a continuous power especially if it must be used for many days straight. Think for example to those situations in which you have to go back and retrieve the transmitter in order to change batteries. Thus in such case it would be best to connect the bug to the mains so that you will not have to worry anymore about it. Are you agree? Another benefit is to provide real time monitoring without time limits by using a GSM bug as well as to easily hide the transmitter thanks to the circuit miniaturization.
The advantages of using a micro recorder
What are indeed the main benefits of a a voice recorder? Firstly the ability of collecting evidence to be used for defence. Secondly, the ease of concealment, combined with the fact that you can automatically recording by means of VAS system when a sound is heard. Thirdly, the capacity to be connected to batteries which can provide even up to 45 days of recordings!
So, which one is better?
Actually the question is likely to remain unanswered, because all depend on what kind of operations you are going to start. For e.g., if your goal is to investigate from a distance a GSM bug is your fitting device. If instead you want to take advantage of long duration of data, your choice can only affect a micro recorder. Finally, if you are looking for a system that can provide both live monitoring and recording, you can even find on surveillance market some special devices allowing to do that.
