Use your bluetooth cell phone for covert ops
If you have a need to monitor a room remotely from anywhere in the world, here's do it with nothing more than your cell phone and optionally, a bluetooth headset.
Instructions
1. I'm assuming that you would be an intermediate to experienced cell phone user for purposes of the "informational - only" how to.
First things first, pair your headset to the phone.
If you need to buy a head set, try ebay.com, amazon.com or google search. I would not recommend an expensive headset or phone in case you lose them.
I would also recommend buying a prepaid cellular phone for the same reasons.
2. Go to the settings menu, then call settings, and finally, headset settings. Your menu might be different, but you essentially want to enable "auto answer" on your handset.
** Also, turn your phone on "Silent" mode and kill the vibration alert.
When you call the phone, no sound and no vibration should be on. **
When you call your phone when auto answer is on, then the cell phone picks up the line automatically without ringing or vibing, presumably, so that you wouldn't have to fumble around for the cell phone while it's ringing.
3. Place your cell phone in a discreet place somewhere in the room, or in the next room over. Place the headset discreetly near the source that you wish to hear, but less than 30 feet from the cell phone as that is the limitation of the range in bluetooth devices.
4. Now call your cell phone from anywhere in the world to listen in to the bluetooth headset!
No one will know you are listening.
