Is it legal in GA or federally to record someone without their knowledge?

If the voice recorder is not connected to a telephone device, but just placed in your own house to possibly record what may go on in the house. Is it ok to record one side of a phone conversation in this manner?
Answer:
you must announce it, or have a beep sound every 15 seconds
you can record a phonecall aslong as one person participating in the phone call knows. thats all i know.
In most states, so long as one party knows they are being recorded, it's legal.

So if you set the recorder and you are one of the people having the conversation, it's fine.

But if you set the recorder to listen to your spouse and another person, it's illegal.
Nope. You would be invading someone's reasonable expectation of privacy in your (also their?) home, and that is illegal in the state of Georgia.
