Bug Sweeps

To identify, meet, and exceed our clients’ security, investigation, training, and consulting expectations. Our goal is to provide provide a high quality service in partnership with our clients designed to accomplish their investigative needs discreetly, efficiently, and effectively.

1. Our bug sweep may begin with a spectrum analyzer searching for signals emitting from the target area outside of the normal commercial spectrum. This device detects the difference between cell phone transmissions, cordless phones, laptops and bugs transmitting wireless signals.
2. Second, the target area is examined for physical evidence of devices, tampering, and hidden camera lenses. In addition, a thermal imaging camera is used to detect electrical devices which are then inspected.
3. Third, the target area is examined manually with a wide band receiver designed to pick up any devices transmitting in real time and more tactical and targeted than the spectrum analyzer. These devices range from 50kHz to 12Ghz.
4. Fourth, the target area is checked for devices that are capable of recording and locally storing audio and video (if necessary).
5. Fifth, electrical outlets and phone lines are examined for carrier currents that would permit listening through electrical lines. This kind of current can easiest be identified as similar to that of a DSL connection using phone lines for data.
6. Sixth, a non linear junction detector may be used to locate electrical components of devices whether they are on or off. Some bugs can be set to have burst transmissions or only operate while it is picking up voice or video. This allows us to pick those devices up during our TSCM bug sweep, even when they are off.
7. A cursory sweep of the computer hardware is conducted to check for any suspicious devices.
8. Last, a phone analysis conducted in conjunction with a physical examination of the phone system to detect phone tapping if necessary.
