**Title:** Creating a Phone Line Wiretap Circuit for Recording Conversations
**Summary:**
* The creator aims to wiretap their phone line to record conversations, especially with phone scammers, for a YouTube channel.
* They confirm it's legal in Canada as long as one party (themselves) consents.
* The creator explores the phone line's electrical properties:
+ 48V DC when idle
+ Up to 160V peak-to-peak (60V RMS) AC during ringing
+ ~3V peak-to-peak signal when in call
* They design a circuit to safely feed the phone audio into a camera's audio jack, featuring:
+ Full bridge rectifier
+ DC voltage isolation
+ Voltage division
+ Over-voltage clamping
* After testing and minor adjustments, the circuit successfully records phone conversations without damaging the camera.
* The video concludes with an announcement about a new school tool giveaway program, sponsored by Keysight and the creator's Patreon supporters.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, numbered and in short sentences, excluding opinions:
**Electronics and Telecommunications**
1. The voltage on a phone line is 48V DC when not in use.
2. The ringing voltage on a phone line is approximately 160V peak-to-peak (or 60V RMS) with a 20Hz frequency.
3. Phone lines are designed to support up to 12V of current on the tongue, but it's not recommended to test this.
4. When a phone is picked up, the 48V on the line drops to around 7V due to a specific resistance load (around 390 ohms).
**Audio Signal Levels**
5. The maximum audio signal from a phone is around 3V peak-to-peak.
6. The maximum audio signal from a cell phone is around 1V peak-to-peak.
7. A microphone can produce voltage levels up to 1V peak-to-peak at maximum gain, increasing with louder input.
**Circuit Design and Testing**
8. A full bridge rectifier can prevent reverse polarity in a circuit.
9. Adding a capacitor in series can separate DC levels in a circuit.
10. A circuit with voltage division, over-voltage clamping, and DC isolation can safely feed audio into a camera.
**Giveaways and School Support**
11. A new line of giveaways is introduced to support schools with tools they need but cannot afford.
12. The first school to receive a giveaway is Wick High School in the United Kingdom, facilitated by Keysight.
13. Keysight has helped give away around 14 scopes to viewers and patrons, with two additional scopes given away.
**Miscellaneous**
14. In Canada, it is legal to record one's own conversations without the other party's consent.
15. The creator's camera initially outputted DC voltage when recording, requiring an additional capacitor to isolate the DC from the circuit.
