Detecting Hidden Cameras and Listening Devices Using Hidden Camera Finders and Bug Detectors

The practice of Industrial spying and home espionage is pretty common these days. On an individual level, every person deludes themselves into thinking they don't have any enemies or any dangerous secrets to hide. But deep down, each of them is aware there are persons out there who want to steal their secrets or disrupt their personal lives for some reason. In any case, it is very common for covert listening devices or video bugs to be planted in people's homes or offices. These hidden devices record their movements or conversations and transmit them to a third party who uses this information for nefarious purposes. Fortunately, every problem has a solution. Illicit hidden cameras and listening devices can be fished out using bug detectors and other counter surveillance equipment.

You may think that, because these devices are so tiny and can be hidden virtually anywhere, they are impossible to detect and remove. You may feel daunted because there are likely innumerable places at your home or office where a listening device could be concealed. But fret not; these devices are not 100% foolproof. Almost every bugging device, whether it is a listening device or a video bug, transmits radio frequencies, (abbreviated as RF). By tracing these signals, you can easily find where the camera bug or listening device is hidden. Large corporations invest in advanced TSCM sweeps, incorporating every room in the facility, and even arrange for computer scans to detect IT-related bugs. The same methods are employed by private investigation companies for home sweeps.

You may be shocked to learn just how common spying has become. Many people spy on their neighbours and love to inflict misery and fear upon them for their personal gratification. Voyeurism and jealousy are the main motivators that drive these illicit practices. These spying neighbours are very dangerous, as they live near you, and it is very easy for them to drop by on some pretext and plant a listening device or camera bug in your kitchen, in a vase, in a washroom, or in any convenient location you would never suspect. To safeguard yourself against these harmful bugs, you can buy a bug or camera detector from the market. Many of these devices have delivered effective results in detecting covert spy equipment.

One device can detect wireless cameras, audio bugs, live mobile phones, Wi-Fi signals, and a lot more. Being only 2.25� wide and 4� tall, it is small enough to fit snugly in your hand. Being battery-operated, you can carry it around with you and use it anywhere. It has a very good range, and can detect signals from ten meters (thirty-two feet) away. The portability of this device is an added plus for when you are travelling, as you can easily scan your hotel room for a listening device or camera.

Another model makes use of laser frequency visual detection, complete with a special viewing port and operating at a frequency of 1 to 6 MHz. This device simplifies the process of finding a listening device or hidden camera within a range of 5-10 feet.

If you have suspicions that there is a bug at your home or office, these counter surveillance devices are your best solution to detect covert spying gadgets. You don't need to worry about where to purchase top quality detectors, since they are now readily available at any good hardware, electronic or security equipment store.

The Home Security Superstore is a leading independent store which stocks all sorts of counter surveillance devices for personal, industrial and commercial security.
