Shaun Holland, 44, said: “It's my house, I can do what I like,” when the listening device was found by his wife's father.
Holland, of Freelands Road, Bromley initially fought the case, but finally confessed on the day of his trial.
He pleaded guilty to one count of stalking his estranged wife Vicky Holland at the former matrimonial home in nearby Cedar Close between October 19 and November 19, 2019.
Bexley Magistrates' Court heard Holland always accepted the extension lead belonged to him.
His wife, who says Holland has knowledge of conversations she had in her home, did not want to give evidence in court against him.
The extension lead was not plugged in and had a SIM card inside.
Holland claims he placed it there when the couple were still living together.
He was fined £400, with £500 costs and ordered to pay a £40 victim surcharge.
Holland was also made subject to a two-year court-ordered restraining order prohibiting him attending any address Vicky Holland resides in without her prior agreement.
