In this project we will combine an Arduino Pro Mini with a couple of complementary components in order to create a voice recorder which could be abused as a spy bug. It has a run time of around 9 hours, is small and super easy to use. The recording quality might not be the best, but it should be suitable for many purposes.

    Quick tip for improving the code: instead of useing those rather compilcated switches just replace the filename with String(audiofile)+".wav" and you can record an unlimited number of files.

    The cool spy-bugs on TV send the audio through a radio. This gives me an idea for a "DIY or Buy": a walkie-talkie. There are a few very basic walkie-talkie tutorials based on arduino, but nothing really nice. You could try the analog version too, but a digital one would be more fun: sample the audio with the ADC, then send it over the air somehow (LoRA module maybe, or a cheapo 433mhz ook module pair), then receive and play it back with a DAC from resistors (or use a DAC chip, or a micro that has a DAC built-in like the SAMD21 found in the Adafruit Feather M0).

    @@ninovitaliano7943 I'm honored someone noticed, thanks. It's true though, isn't it? The onboard LED is rather bright and it takes around 10-20 mA, and if you're running off a battery you want to cut down on the current draw as much as you can so this is something you would disable first. The other option is to use PWM to modulate the LED, but AFAIK pin 13 doesn't have hardware PWM, so you have to spend processor cycles on this, and I bet that there's not much free processor time left over from "recording audio on something so very much not designed to do so".

    16khz is a very odd sampling rate. So make sure you always have subtraction of 44.1kHz or 48khz. (32khz, 22khz or 11khz) Also it's good to use some input filtering to prevent extra distortion (Shannon theorem).

    You can probably keep the power consumption even lower by downclocking the arduino and pushing it into deep-sleep when not recording. In deep sleep, one can get the power consumption in the micro amp region.

    Could you please show us how to get a tiny camera (1080p) that we could secretly put into a porch light and connect for power and video through cat5 back to a POE switch? Mostly need the tiny camera and connections to the end of a CAT5, please?
