Audio surveillance Linux
 

Hello everyone,
I would like to use my laptop as a remote surveillance in my office. I already use motion for taking snapshots, however it happens that most of the time the screen of my laptop is being closed so it becomes no use.
I am looking for a way to grab via ssh the output of the microphone which is embedded in my dell. I would like to have a stream "on demand" so that whenever i realize that the screen of my lap is closed I could listen to what is going on in the room (such as who is using my desk or my phone).
Is there something available?

Hello,

I came across the following online:
I'm not on linux, so I can't dig up in my misc. code for what I used to use. Let me know if that works or not for you.

Cheers,

Josh

thanks!
It works wonderfully
however i tried to modify it as following

it is also possible to omit the -f parameter and revert to an 8 bit mono stream, which is good for slow connections.

I tried to put it in a shell file:

unfortunately it doesnt work unless authorization with rsa key is on, i was wondering if there is any command to make the second ssh wait and display the password request when needed...

You could always use the "read" command to get input, in this case your password, store it within a variable, and then use the variable with your ssh command.
