Permanent Audio Surveillance (PAS) #134

Closed serrq closed 1 year ago

serrq commented 1 year ago

Sometimes we may come across heated arguments in which we may be outraged or assaulted verbally and yet we forgot to start the audio recording or did it too late.

For this purpose, I designed a permanent audio surveillance system (PAS) that works in this way.

RY’s microphone records audio in continuous mode, creating recording blocks of 30 minutes each for 24 hours.

As a result of this permanent recording we will always have the last 48 tracks recorded (a track lasts 30 minutes).

If you do not move the desired tracks in the archive RY will automatically delete them after 24 hours from their creation.

This system is especially useful because it does not need to be activated and gives the security of saving what important happens around us.

Here are some examples of saved tracks:

That looks very ugly in terms of privacy, I wouldn't want my phone to record everything I'm doing all day just for the case I once said something important. And the point with verbal assaults seems weird, why would you want to record being assaulted by someone else except for suing them for it. Hence, out of scope for the project.

This tool is optional and does not serve to denounce others but as evidence if someone tried to blame you for words you have never spoken. This is exactly the opposite of what you wrote.
