How to Wiretap Phone Line with DIY Circuit

Had to reupload! see comments. I like to record my phone calls directly on camera… for research purposes… so I designed some circuit to wiretap the land line directly to my camera audio input.

[@SonicBoone56]

Chaotic evil circuit design

[@greenaum]

Back in the day they sold televisions made like that! A dozen valves, dozens of passive components, transformers, all made by soldering components directly to each other, and to the pins of valve sockets. Sometimes they'd have a tag strip, a strip of phenolic-impregnated paper, early PCB material, with metal tags with loops on each tag, attached along either side. The tags weren't connected to each other, unless you wired them together, but usually components just spanned between them, and each other, and the valve sockets etc, flying through the air (flappin' in the breeze!) like some sort of scifi architecture! Then one day somebody invented the printed circuit board and it all got a lot more boring, though probably safer, and allowing more complex circuits to be made. Imagine a PC, with it's 8-layer motherboard and hundreds of tracks, replaced by wires zooming around the place and chips hovering everywhere. Would look like a Shenzhen rat's nest!

[@MotorcycleWrites]

@@greenaum lol I feel like it would be literally impossible to hand wire a motherboard just from a volume/length of wire standpoint. I wonder how far back you have to go before you could do it? Could be an interesting (if incredibly difficult to impossible) project if you used a motherboard simple enough.

[@_M_a_r_t_i_n_M]

@@MotorcycleWrites The Turing Machine is probably one of the closest examples.. Although only just barely a computer.. ENIAC or the Mk 1... Although they likely used some form of circuit board.. (Please don't fault me for not having a vivid memory from what few actual photos of any of these I have seen in my life). Or the Bomb device used to decrypt signals from German Enigma machines... Again, a computing device, not quite a 'computer'.. close enough though. These can be faithfully rebuilt for the sake of doing so.. There are existing examples in museums of exact replicas. Imagine the type of mind it took to literally script programs using binary code on such long rolls of paper... And then rudimentary assembly languages on punch cards..

*Fun fact:* The term for the polarity of the phone line, "tip" and "ring", refers to the connectors on the switchboards operators used back before tone based switching. It doesn't mean any type of signaling, but rather it refers to the shape of the connector which is reminiscent of a quarter-inch mono channel audio jack. So it literary means the "tip" (+ side) of the audio jack and the "ring" or "sleeve" (- side) below the tip of the audio jack.

[@fivish]

The GPO switchboard plug was more pointy than the standard 1/4" audio stereo plug to make it capable of rapid insertion and less wear. Tip and ring went to the twisted pair and sleeve to earth.

Here in the USA, The line voltage is around 48 volts when off. Ring voltage goes from 0 to 96 volts. When you pick up the hand set, the line voltage drops to around 6 volts.

[@DaiShuryoTechnus]

What is the voltage for each key?

[@NickyHendriks]

@@DaiShuryoTechnus there isn't any difference really as far as I know. Old rotary phones work via pulse dialing so 10 short pulses (the clicking of the rotary) means a 0. With old systems you could literally fake this by pressing the button that hangs up the phone in a proper maner. Very difficult though but not impossible. The pulse is literally closing the circuit really fast, this video shows it with an LED: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHvPeIybqbeZn5I Modern phone lines work with tone dialing where a frequency is sent for each key instead of pulses.

The DC output on the camera's input could be to power electret mics. I recently saw a video where someone found some of their cameras did, and some didn't, and none of them documented that being the case.

[@SergioEduP]

Kit Vitae also possibly some other addons from the camera's brand

[@russdill]

In any case, I'd add a cap to both ends of the pairs. If the low side of the circuit drops down to -45V, you are in for a super good time.

[@meowcula]

Probably phantom power for condenser mics. Pretty common in pro audio. it would be 48V if so.

[@SianaGearz]

It's probably not for professional condenser mics which take 48V nominal (usually work from 9V or 12V and up, so much of the cheaper phantom host gear doesn't bother with full nominal voltage), but for electret capsules, which take something like 2-5V via a couple kOhm current limiting resistor. It might be conditional, i.e. they might be measuring the impedance of the microphone, but you normally expect electret mics to be directly supported by cameras.

[@meowcula]

Makes sense, its been ages since i've used a camera, either way it's to power active (non-dynamic) mics. I remember there being a phantom setting on the Canon SLII but again, this was ages ago and likely things have changed a lot toward lower voltage active mics.

[@NeboscloneStudio]

I'm pretty sure you already know that but I'm going to say it anyway: The camera outputs DC voltage, because it was designed to support electret microphones. :)

[@ChipsChallenge95]

Residential POTS lines are normally-open 48v D.C. circuits, the “hook” is a switch that closes the circuit which allows a dial-tone. Your particular “line” is a loop referred to as a “local loop” which terminates at a telephone switch operated by your carrier. In a business, typically you would have a PSTN telephone network that connects to a PBX that directly handles internal calls to extensions, the PBX will also have either an ATA that converts analog to SIP and connects back to an IPPBX in a VoIP system in a hybrid network or to a 23 channel PRI, usually a T1 interface back to your carrier for external calls. From that point on the infrastructure will remain the same as a residential one except businesses typically have multiple lines/subsequent numbers. The infrastructure within the walls of your company will typically fed by a 25 or 50 pair whip punched down into one or several 66 block(s), or 110 block(s) depending on the architecture of the network. Those blocks can be daisy chained/piggy backed together or be fed directly into another 25 or 50 pair amphenol whip connected to a voice gateway and out to a provider. T1 PRIs are significant because they are 24 channel circuits (in North America) at 1.544mbps bandwidth that operate at a set rate (hence PRI “primary rate interface”) controlled by the DS0 or framing channel which allows the line to operate at a set and predictable rate (enabling a clear voice call)....could go on for days

He had to mute out the original sound. The individual tones, like when dialing on a keypad, all have their own unique sound. That’s how automated phone systems can do stuff like “Press a number to be transferred to X department”. So someone was just recording the original dialing tones and then feeding them through an online decoder

After that sound you heard there were rapidly changing number tones (like the ones you hear when you press the numbers when dialing) in the muted part. That's how landline phones are able to show you who's calling. That tone sequence is the Caller ID, and people were decoding it manually.

[@derekcolman]

I got caught like that. I was wiring up an extension second phone. Someone phoned me while I was connecting the wires and I got zapped.

[@derekcolman]

It can't be disconnected. It's a live 48V DC supply direct from the telephone exchange which can't be felt at all. I don't know what the ringing pulse is, but it's enough to generate an F word followed by laughter. Obviously when working on our 240V AC mains supply, I always disconnect at the consumer unit, then double check no wires are live before touching them.

[@risvegliato]

Same here. Was wiring an extension socket under a counter when someone called. Got zapped and banged my head on the underside of the counter.

[@derekcolman]

ha ha. That's worse than mine. It's not the voltage that hurts, just the surprise.

[@foldedfordgalaxy8297]

i was connecting a phone ext socket to some stranded cable, while I was working on the live line, there was a arc flash but I managed to get it working without damaging any of mine or bts equipment, scared me though

International Monetary Fund??

[@Anino_Makata]

CircaSriYak I don't know if this is sarcasm, but in the movieverse IMF stands for Impossible Missions Force.

[@darthglobe4285]

Yeah! I know that. I was trying to make a little joke! (not sarcasm). I believe that as always I have failed in that attempt.

[@darthglobe4285]

🤣🤣 I was referring to Impossible Mission Force!! It seems to me that no one understood the joke!! By your logic IMF could stand for.... Intestinal Muscle Force Interstellar Mother F***er and many more😁😁😁

[@TechHowden]

I would’ve tried to figure out his number just for fun I wouldn’t actually call it or share it with anybody else

[@sqrtof81]

@@TechHowden I honestly do that a lot as well, even managed to find a KZbinr's (not gonna say who obviously) house with their videos, never told anyone though.

[@metricmine]

It least I know I'm not the only person who thought it was a good idea to enclose my whole circuit in hot glue as quick, cheap enclosure. For a circuit like this, I would make it thinner so the whole thing fits in a large heat shrink tube, fill the tube with hot glue, then heat shrink the tube to squeeze out the excess glue to make a sleek, compact enclosure.
