Trusted Counter-Surveillance in California
Universal TSCM Group provides professional bug sweep and TSCM services throughout California. We use specialized equipment and proven inspection techniques to detect hidden listening devices, covert cameras, GPS trackers and unauthorized surveillance devices in homes, businesses, vehicles, hotels and private properties.
California businesses protect valuable intellectual property, deal discussions and confidential plans, while private clients protect their homes, vacation properties and estates. Our inspections are tailored to the specific property and to each client's privacy and security concerns.
Protecting California Businesses, Studios and Private Estates
California's economy runs on ideas, from technology and venture capital to entertainment. That makes confidential information a target, at work and at home.
Silicon Valley and San Francisco
Product plans, source code and deal terms are valuable. Corporate bug sweeps of boardrooms, executive offices and meeting rooms help protect trade secrets before launches, fundraising and acquisitions.
Los Angeles and Orange County
Our Los Angeles office in Century City serves Southern California, including entertainment, legal and private clients. See Los Angeles bug sweeps.
San Diego and Sacramento
Private homes, vacation properties and government-adjacent offices each need a different plan. We tailor the inspection to the property and the concern.

California Bug Sweep FAQ
What areas of California do you serve?
We provide bug sweep and TSCM services throughout California, including Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, San Diego, Orange County, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Sacramento and surrounding areas, and travel elsewhere in the state based on client needs.
What types of properties can you inspect in California?
Homes, apartments, offices, corporate facilities, hotels, vehicles, vacation homes, estates and other private properties.
How long does a professional bug sweep take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the property. Most inspections take several hours, while larger residences, businesses or complex environments may require additional time.
How much does a bug sweep cost in California?
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the number of rooms or vehicles, and the scope of the inspection. Call us or send a confidential request for a quote.
How quickly can you come out in California?
Universal TSCM Group is available 24/7. Call us to discuss scheduling — urgent requests are welcome.
Can you detect hidden cameras that are not transmitting?
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.
Is it legal to secretly record a conversation in California?
California generally requires the consent of everyone in a confidential conversation to record it. If you find a device, leave it in place and speak with an attorney or law enforcement. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can you sweep an office before a fundraising round or acquisition?
Yes. Many companies schedule a corporate sweep before board meetings, negotiations and other sensitive discussions. Call us to plan the timing.
