How can I check if my house or office is being electronically bugged with a hidden camera or listening device?

With the spying devices available today, covert eavesdropping gadgets give virtually no indication of their presence without using highly sensitive and advanced equipment to identify their location. Some cheaper spy bugs can often give off radio frequency omissions that can interfere with radios, wireless devices and some tv’s. Our electronic equipment will check and detect all spy bugs.

Can I find a hidden hidden camera, microphone and spy bug myself?

The market has plenty of low cost electronic spying devices that advertise as a spy bug detector, but usually these hand held tools are not particularly effective and unable to detect most covert devices that operate at frequencies above the range a hand held device can detect.

Can someone secretly fit a hidden camera in my house?

There are several methods and techniques of installing hidden cameras in a private residence, it depends on who needs the listening bugs or covert camera to go in. If you are being targeted by a commercial / professional body, they can employ the skills of someone who is expert in entering a property covertly leaving no trace of their presence. Alternatively, an ex-partner, landlord or visitor can easily obtain a copy of the property’s keys and enter when they believe the property is vacant, such as when the occupant is on holiday or at work.

I think my car is being tracked.
Can you check my car for a hidden tracker?

The use of a hidden GPS tracking device is on the increase and we are finding more trackers on cars than any other electronic device. Some of the these trackers have been planted within the cabin of the car, or on the vehicles bodywork.
Cars are illegally tracked for various reasons such as a jealous partner wanting to know the whereabouts of a wife or husband, a suspicious employer who suspects a worker using a vehicle for their own purposes, or it may be the Police who are interested in someones movements, trackers placed on a vehicle can be a very effective information gathering tool.
We are able to carry out a technical electronic search and electronic bug sweep on any car or vehicle to check for a hidden GPS tracker, microphone or even hidden camera.
We carry out bug sweeps of cars and vehicles throughout the UK, and overseas on behalf of private clients and commercial businesses that require our expertise and knowledge.

Can my electronic appliances spy on me in my home?

In this digital world, the best way to start is by making your home, car, or office dumb.

Making your home “dumb” means getting rid of all electronic appliances that may connect to the internet.

Do you need a smart fridge, thermostat, or coffee maker? If yes, position these items in rooms or sections where you do not have sensitive conversations. The problem with such devices is that they offer little or no protection from attackers. Think about it. If an attacker has access to your fridge’s camera or microphone, then that person has access to your home and conversations.
