Don't worry, they thought about that:

Guests' privacy is always protected. Our patent pending technology ensures that no content is recorded

It's patented, so it must be good.

Sarcasm aside, I really wonder what's in that patent... I mean it must (should) exist, otherwise it should be "pending".

Given that variable bit-rate VoIP can reveal words spoken from bitrate alone[1], I would be very cautious about their claims.

I doubt their "signal processing" involves anything more than a microphone and a peak detector.

A more practical side channel attack would probably be through radiated emissions over the mains power. However if you're willing to go that far, a laser microphone is much more effective and simpler.
