Electronic Bug Detection Devices
Why consumer bug detectors fall short
Economic espionage is big business. Tiny concealed cameras, GSM listening devices, radio frequency microphones and other miniature recording devices are widely and cheaply available. Manufacturers do not keep making them if nobody is buying. eBay, Alibaba, and Amazon as well as other shopping and auction sites all have a large number of different spying items for sale. Also available at the same sites are electronic bug detection devices. These are supposedly able to detect all electronic surveillance devices. The reality is they are unreliable, with limited detection capabilities at best, generate spurious results and lend themselves to providing a false sense of security. Without some training how can you tell if the debugging device is working correctly or at all?
The same consumer-grade equipment is also, at times, used by firms offering technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) as a sideline, sourced from eBay and similar sites. Professional lab grade instruments, proper training and adequate time on site are what distinguish a legitimate technical assessment; before you retain anyone, ask any sweep provider about their equipment and training. Call us and we will happily talk you through what a thorough inspection involves.
