What kind of Equipment should I use for Bug Detection?
Written by motorcycleadvisor on May 5th, 2011Bug Detectors are used to find Wireless RF Devices and Phone Taps while performing Bug Sweeps and Counter Surveillance Bug Detection.
Bug Detectors can locate hidden cameras, audio bugs, listening devices, and real time GPS tracking devices that someone may be using to obtain your personal information, whereabouts, etc. Here are some reasons why someone would be interested in placing a bug or a hidden camera in your home or place of business: You are currently going through a divorce. You may be involved in a custody fight. You are involved in a long term project that you want to keep secret. Your company is going to offer some competitive technology or may be going public. You may have private investigator watching you. You have a jealous boyfriend or girlfriend wanting to track your everyday activities.
Covert can be purchased and placed just about anywhere. They can be installed in your light switch, VCR, lamp or mirror. FM audio bugs are very small and can be purchased and placed easily. They are designed to transmit FM signals that can be heard by tuning in on a FM radio while parked across the street. Many cell phones have the option to be called without hearing the ringer and automatically pick up. The user on the other end can then hear everything that the cell phone can hear when it is live and in use. A disgruntled employee could simply leave his cell phone live during an important meeting transmitting confidential information to your competitors on the other end.
Most hidden cameras and bugs using wireless technology can transmit the audio and or video to a receiving unit where the signal can then be viewed and recorded. The power of the signal will depend on how far it is transmitting to the receiving unit. Some devices may be transmitted to the room next door and others may be transmitted up to 3 to 5 miles away. These frequencies obviously can not be seen with the naked eye but can be detected by using a bug detector. A RF Bug Detector with GPS Detection is simply a device used to detect frequencies that are being transmitted by a covert wireless camera, GPS tracking device, live cell phone or audio bug.
It is advisable to purchase a bug detector with a wide Bug Detection range of around 0 ~ 6 GHz.
Note: If you have serious security concerns you may want to contact a professional to perform a complete Bug Sweep of your property.
