An analog radio audio bug, or spy bug, consists of a small spy microphone, connected to a radio micro transmitter that collects audio signals around it and transmits them to a radio receiver positioned at a certain distance. Unlike GSM bugs, which can transmit over unlimited distances, the transmission range of an analog radio bug varies from a few dozen meters to several kilometers, depending on the power of the micro transmitter installed inside. Although this may seem like a limitation, spy bugs become particularly useful in environments without network coverage where a GSM bug would be unusable. However, a specific device is needed to decode the audio signals.
At Endoacustica, we provide analog radio bugs equipped with a VOX circuit, a special device that only transmits data when voices or sounds are present in the environment where the bug is installed. This system helps extend battery life and reduces the risk of interception through a bug detector.
Additionally, radio bugs can be equipped with a remote controller that allows them to be activated and deactivated as needed, making them undetectable if the monitored area undergoes a bug sweep.
When to use an analog radio audio bug
With analog radio bugs, it's possible to capture private conversations in the environment where it’s installed without being detected, such as in a home, office, or car. That’s why these devices are often referred to as "spy bugs".
Similar to audio bugs and GSM bugs, the primary reasons for using spy bugs are to prevent or document a crime or to gather evidence of marital infidelity.
Analog radio bugs are used when the area to be monitored has no GSM signal, and they offer excellent audio quality.
Audio radio bugs, how to detect and recognize spy bugs
The most effective way to detect the presence of bugs in an area is through a bug detector, a special tool capable of capturing different ranges of radio frequencies emitted by any type of bug, including GSM bugs, audio bugs, analog radio bugs, and encrypted digital bugs.
While bug detectors are widely accessible to detect bugs in an area, they aren’t the only method. A thermal camera is often used—a special device capable of detecting the heat emitted by bugs, even if they are hidden behind walls or inside objects.
Lastly, radio bugs can be detected using a spectrum analyzer, a tool that scans the airwaves and detects the frequency intensity emitted by radio audio bugs allowing you to determine the transmission range of the bug.
But what happens if the device is turned off or not transmitting at the time of the cleanup?
In this case the only solution is to use a non-linear junction detector, the only tool capable of detecting any electrical component, wherever it is.
