Hypothetical, based on a Youtube video. I'm staying at an airbnb, and

If 110 voolts won't do it, maybe I could find 500 volts somewhere. Do
you think that would be enough.
Oops, I missed the obvious. It's connected to a transmitter, and at
most this would fry the transmitter, which is probably a lot cheaper
than the recorder. Also it would leave the guy with all the recordings
he's already made. In this case, he's been renting the place for a
while, and gotten good reviews, LOL Maybe a class action would be
fitting.
I was wrong again. The camera itself contained recordings of 49 adults
and 13 children. I guess like my own camera, which I have to photograph wildlife in the back yard, if any, it has an SD card as well as a
transmitter. ,,,,, Owner sentenced to jail for 4 to 6 years, regitstered
