#32Two. One logitech G35 attached to a PC running Windows and one laptop internal microphone. Turning on more devices would get me another laptop internal mic and the mics in a phone and a tablet. Both laptops, the tablet, and the phone have 5 or 6 cameras in total. The desktop also has a camera, but it is pointed at a ceiling fan when not in use.

#34One laptop. Two if oldschool nonsmart phone counts, it is connected to cell tower so I imagine it might count as well.
Wouldnt we see network activity if it was sending any kind of packets? Or could this be dark activity and hidden from normal network monitoring?

#35Two:
1- SGS3- I9300 [AOSPA] {1 mic; 2 cameras}
2- Dell Inspiron- 1121z [Arch Linux] {1 mic; 1 camera}
I'm expecting a targeted add to sell me plastic camera covers and white noise mic aux ins later on the road because of this post. It's all good.

I’d totally watch that, do you have a link? You could even sweeten the deal by throwing some socks at the fan at random times.

#40I'd say 10 or more in my vicinity. Im in an office with mobiles, cisco ip phones, laptops and desktops everywhere. If you were talking about this floor... then that figure could easily go into the hundreds O_O !
