How to build Telephone line monitor
October 25, 2010 - category: Line monitorTelephone Recorder
This nifty little circuit lets you record your phone conversations automatically. The device connects to the phone line, your tape recorder's microphone input, and the recorder's remote control jack. It senses the voltage in the phone line and begins recording when the line drops to 5 volts or less.
