New York Bug Sweep FAQ
Where in New York do you provide bug sweeps?
We provide bug sweeps throughout New York City's five boroughs and travel elsewhere in New York State based on client needs. Call us to discuss your location.
Do you have an office in New York?
Yes. Our New York office is located at 1177 6th Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10036.
What is your team's background?
Our TSCM professionals bring experience from law enforcement, the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, military intelligence, telecommunications, cybersecurity and computer networking. Our CEO and TSCM Coordinator both served with the NYPD.
How much does a bug sweep cost in New York?
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 New York?
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 record a conversation in New York?
New York generally allows recording with the consent of one participant. Secretly recording conversations you are not part of, or hidden cameras in private spaces, can be a crime. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you serve clients outside New York City?
Yes. Our New York office is in Midtown Manhattan, and we serve clients beyond the five boroughs. Call us to discuss your location.
