She's not technical at all and has asked me to help. Also, the stalker is not technical at all either but he's done some impressive things using advice from chatGPT. It is probably just a consumer device.

Has anyone had experience with this? Some thoughts I've had are: - The police say that a battery-operated device that is sound-activated can function a very long time. How long?

- Do consumer listening devices spoof their MAC address to appear to be a different manufacturer, for example Apple?

- Do consumer listener devices connect to wifi only sporadically, when it's time to upload information? (in this case I'd have to find some way to turn on logging on her router)

For anyone that has had to track down a listening device, how did you do it?
