Hotel Hallway Setup (Lets Get Technical)
Posted: 05 Dec 2021 01:14
Hey Everyone,
I was curious about setting up a perfect setup for catching sounds in hotel hallways.
Here's what I was thinking.
(I spent majority of my night looking out the window at the elevators hoping to catch couples getting out. So, here's what I was thinking. )
1) Cheap Wireless Camera in Hallway / Elevators. This would depend on how far you are from elevators. This would have to be disposable and would only be used to figure out where the couples are. I specify cheap because if someone finds it, well, fuck it, lost a camera. Who cares. Probably a velcro back and something to stick it to the wall so when you get it back, it's not a problem. I would only put it up where I would be able to monitor. This isn't for recording, it's just to figure out where they are. I'd watch the video feed on an ipad in the room and just watch for drunk couples or something. Definitely after dark maybe 10pm. Monitor most of the night. But, absolutely, get it back once I'm done monitoring. It's not like a whole day or night thing.
(Hotel employees and random guests always fuck up my recording, cause once I hear people down the hall, I gotta pick up my phone and walk away)
2) Pen Recording Device (cheap): Once I monitor a potential couple, I get my pen ready to record and walk by, see if they're up to something. If they are toss the pen down. If not, come back later. Cheap just because if it's gone, it's gone. Hoping there's no way to hook it back to me.
3) USB stick recording device (cheap): This could also be easily camouflaged, maybe if I put it in gray box that looks like a power box or chord? Cheap just because if it's gone, it's gone. Hoping there's no way to hook it back to me.
4) Camouflaging the recording device: Make it look like trash? Maybe the maid might toss it, but then again, we're only recording late at night. Maybe chew on the pen a little, make it ugly. Huh? haha.
5) Recorder placement: If I put the recorder at where the door opens, they might see it or step on it if they want to go get vending machine stuff after sex. I figure placing it on the inside of the door facing in.
I wish I could get maybe 3 floors worth of camera coverage. Just to see where it's happening. I think one good thing about having these hallway cams is that if you ARE recording some fun and you see on the monitors that an employee pops by or bystander finds it, you can just say fuck it and be gone. Can you imaging having such a range of wireless cameras to be able to surveil all the levels, then just walk where it's happening and record away.
I am so going to jail, right? haha! But, seriously, I walk halls for hours and on different floors, I feel like THAT is much bigger of a sign than this is.
