Digital Bugs, the new frontier of surveillance

Digital bugs are one of the latest products of the audio surveillance technology, one that brings together the miniature size of "traditional" bugs and hidden microphones or microtransmitters, and the digital technology which ensures both clarity of sound and secrecy.

It is just natural that, in a world where smaller and faster is better, the increasing miniaturization of devices would allow different technologies to be teamed up, to bring even more powerful devices with a high degree of flexibility and ease of use.

Basically, the normal miniaturized bugs as we know them from any spy movies, consist of a miniaturized microphone connected to an equally small radio transmitting device, which picks up the sounds around it and relays them to a radio receiving station placed within a certain range (which, depending on the transmitter's output power, can be up to 2 kms).

By adding a digital module to it, one is able to add two key features: absolute clarity of sound and, most important when we are talking about surveillance, possibility of encryption.
This means that not only the signal sent to the digital receiver will be crystal clear, but that, thanks to different levels of encryption, a digital bug can transmit signal that is impossible to intercept for any malicious third party.

In fact, miniaturized digital bugs use a so called "spectrum inversion" encryption module, which, in a few words, means that the sound is fragmented into small packets, then encrypted and transmitted. The receiver at the other end would put the pieces together and decrypt them.

This process makes the transmission completely safe from interception, and perfect to be used as evidence before a court of law in complicated cases. Also, the digital format makes it suitable for being safely stored on a computer.

And it's not over: speaking of miniaturization of surveillance technology, and of the possibility of combining different features, we should not forget GSM bugs which, as the name goes, are equipped with a GSM mobile phone SIM card. The GSM bug is a particular kind of eavesdropping device which, thanks to its embedded SIM, can reach you in any part of the world, simply by phone! And not only, it can also be controlled remotely via SMS, so that you do not have to be near it to set up its features and functions.
