The ability to listen through windows from a distance.
What is it
Laser listening devices performs a form of surveillance we call
"passive".
That is, when access to the surveillance target is impossible,
this type of spy equipment allows the operator to carry out undetectable, long range surveillance from the outside of the building.
No installation is required and
you dont even need to enter a building or a room.
The system consist of a laser transmitter, a receiver, and an amplifier.
How it works
Normal conversations within a room create minute vibrations
on exterior windows which act much like the diaphragm
of a microphone oscillating with sound waves,
A laser listening device take advantage of this
by bouncing an infrared beam from the outside
of a window, back to the laser optical receiver ,converting it to electrical signals,
and then reproducing the interior audio.
Such laser microphone types of devices have been used by the CIA since the early 60's,
and are commercially available from a number of companies.
For effective use of a laser microphone...
It is essential to have perfect transmitter/receiver alignment so...
Use a tripod
Use an optional IR viewer to help align the whole system
Also, make sure there's not too much exterior noise.
