Professional Bug Sweep & TSCM Services

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM), commonly called a bug sweep, is a professional inspection designed to detect and locate unauthorized listening devices, hidden cameras, tracking devices and other electronic surveillance. Specialized equipment examines a broad range of radio frequencies and electronic signals; if something suspicious is detected, our technicians conduct a detailed physical inspection to identify its source.

Depending on the environment and scope, our technicians may use spectrum analyzers, non-linear junction detectors (NLJDs), RF detection systems, telephone and line-analysis equipment, thermal imaging, optical camera detection equipment and other specialized tools. We continually evaluate advances in surveillance and counter-surveillance technology to keep our equipment and methods current.

Hidden and covert cameras, wireless audio and video transmitters, covert microphones and recorders, telephone taps and interception devices, GPS and other trackers, laser and infrared surveillance devices, wired devices, and devices concealed in electrical systems, furniture, fixtures or everyday objects.

We first evaluate the location and discuss your concerns. During the examination we assess risks, conduct visual, physical and electronic inspections, examine likely concealment locations, analyze the radio-frequency environment, and inspect telephone lines, network cabling and wiring when appropriate. Afterward you can receive a detailed report of findings and recommendations.

Consider a professional inspection if you suspect unauthorized surveillance, have experienced a leak of confidential information, are involved in a sensitive business or legal matter, or simply have privacy concerns. A sweep can also be performed proactively, even without specific evidence of surveillance.

Yes. Some devices record to internal memory and don't transmit a wireless signal, which makes them hard to find with basic RF detectors. We combine specialized electronic equipment with detailed visual and physical inspection to find both transmitting and non-transmitting devices.
