I’ve talked of infinity bugs before, and so I won’t repeat it here. However, this great little gadget adds a new edge to the ever popular GSM bugs. The Motion and Voice Activated GSM Bug has external microphones and IR sensors that allows the can detect voices and movements up to a distance of 7 metres.
When triggered, the bug will automatically call you and can also send you text messages too. This is a fantastic feature, as you save a fortune on phone bills compared to conventional units where you call the device up yourself. Since the device is triggered by sounds and voices, it means you also conserve battery power for when there’s actually something to listen to.
The bug is a dual band device (900MHz and 1800MHz), and therefore can be used it most countries, except the USA which uses the 1900MHz band. I imagine that tri-band variation of this GSM bug will be developed in the near future.
The device is very small, at 80mm x 50mm x 20mm weighing only 52g! That’s a size comparable to most cell phones these days. The built-in rechargeable battery can last for up to 3 days, which is no surprise given the units dimensions.
The feature that I really like about this bug is that you can set it up remotely using SMS, i.e a text message command that configures the unit. Perfect for permanent operations, particularly if you can hardwire the device to a mains-based power supply for really long term surveillance.
This motion and voice activated GSM bug has been a long time coming. Nice to see it in the public domain!

I would also like to purchase an extra battery, do you have information?

Hi Terri,
I do not sell this product. Have you contacted the person you bought the item from? I only write about the products, so you need to speak to the company directly.
Regards,
Dan

The price is horribly expensive at 500 Euros. Maybe it is worth it to some people but is the technology inside all that costly to produce?

Actually, its surprisingly expensive to produce. The cheapest GSM products (regardless of capability) are shockingly awful products. That said, if you really object, you could make your own if you wanted to make the time to learn how.
