Abstract

Perhaps I had better tell you first what this chapter is not about. It is not a “how-to” review of surveillance. Nor does it list all of the procedures and equipment that could be used in detecting and storing acoustic signals such as speech. What I will discuss are basic approaches to the process, common equipment and the types of problems that can—and very often do—occur.
