1. An apparatus for monitoring audio information comprising:

  • a probe component to capture audio information;

    a motion detector;

    an audio signature generator responsive to said probe component and said motion detector, wherein the audio signature generator is configured to generate audio fingerprints when the motion detector does not detect motion and to inhibit generation of audio fingerprints when the motion detector detects motion, and wherein the audio fingerprints represent audio content; and

    a transmitter, responsive to the audio signal generator, that transmits the audio fingerprints over a communication channel to a remote server for potential identification of the audio content represented by the audio fingerprints.
