Safeguard Your Confidential Information from Hidden Surveillance Devices
Surveillance threats in Derby are more sophisticated than ever. From hidden cameras disguised as everyday objects to listening devices smaller than a fingernail, unauthorised monitoring equipment now infiltrates homes, offices, and vehicles across the derby area with alarming frequency. Whether you’re concerned about a suspected cheating partner, protecting sensitive business negotiations, or securing private conversations during legal proceedings, the risk of electronic surveillance is real and growing. UK statistics reveal that 1 in 10 executives suspect their offices are under surveillance, while 15% of divorce cases involve suspected bugging. In Derby’s competitive commercial landscape, home to major manufacturers and thriving small businesses, corporate espionage costs British companies billions annually. Meanwhile, over 100,000 GPS trackers are planted in vehicles across the UK each year, many by ex-partner stalkers or corporate rivals. SPI’s professional bug sweep services deliver the technical surveillance counter measures you need to reclaim your privacy. Our experienced private investigators combine military-grade equipment with decades of intelligence expertise to detect, document, and neutralise surveillance threats for both private individuals and corporate clients throughout Derby and the surrounding derby region.

How Our Bug Sweeping Process Works
Our systematic approach ensures no hidden devices remain undetected in your property or vehicle.
Step 1
Confidential Consultation
Contact our derby office for a free confidential consultation. We assess your specific concerns, whether domestic surveillance, corporate espionage, or personal security threats to develop a tailored detection strategy. This conversation remains completely private.
Step 2
Comprehensive Physical and Electronic Sweep
Our professional bug sweep technicians conduct multi-layered inspections covering physical examination of high-risk locations (outlets, smoke alarms, vents, furniture) alongside electronic detection using RF analysers, thermal cameras, and NLJD equipment. We examine electronic devices, digital spyware risks, and communication infrastructure.
Step 3
Secure Device Removal and Evidence Documentation
When surveillance equipment is discovered, we carefully document findings with photographic evidence and GPS coordinates before secure removal. All evidence maintains legal admissibility for potential legal documents or derby courts proceedings.
Step 4
Written Report and Security Recommendations
You receive a comprehensive written report detailing findings, device specifications, and entry-point analysis. We provide ongoing protection recommendations and vulnerability remediation advice, including options for white noise generators and regular sweep schedules.
What Makes Our TSCM Services Different?
SPI’s counter surveillance capabilities exceed typical private investigations firms through three critical advantages:
Real-World Intelligence Experience
Unlike generic private detective services, our TSCM specialists have conducted covert surveillance operations themselves. This operational knowledge means we know exactly where devices hide and how they transmit, detecting even the most sophisticated eavesdropping devices.

Our Professional Bug Sweeping Equipment
SPI invests in cutting-edge detection technology that rivals government security services. Our equipment inventory ensures excellent detection rates across all surveillance device types:
RF Spectrum Analysers
Devices including the MEFF M1 Pro Detector to scan frequencies from 9 kHz to 12 GHz, the HackRF One with the latest Mayhem Firmware updates to detect active wireless transmitters, GSM bugs, and Wi-Fi-enabled cameras. Advanced demodulation capabilities distinguish genuine threats from legitimate signals like routers.
Non-Linear Junction Detectors (NLJD)
Equipment such as the Lornet Star NLJD identifies semiconductors in electronic bug devices regardless of power status, detecting dormant recorders, powered-off transmitters, and hidden electronics concealed within walls or furniture.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Hikmicro thermal technology detects heat signatures from powered electronic devices with sensitivity to 0.1°C differentials, revealing tracking devices, camera equipment, and active bugs invisible to the naked eye.
Physical Inspection Tools
Borescopes, cavity search equipment, and specialised lighting reveal devices hidden in walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and furniture cavities where 80-90% of bugs are typically concealed.
Residential Bug Sweeping Services
Home should be your sanctuary. Our residential bug sweeps protect private individuals from intrusive surveillance in their most personal spaces.
What We Inspect:
•Bedrooms, living areas, and home offices where private conversations occur. • Kitchens, bathrooms, and personal spaces targeted by domestic intruders. • Electronic devices including smart speakers, televisions, and computer equipment. • Gifts and items received from suspicious sources. • Gardens, garages, and outbuildings for external monitoring equipment.
Common Residential Scenarios
Abusive and controlling partner surveillance, landlord-installed hidden cameras, stalker-placed GPS trackers on vehicles, and custody battle evidence gathering represent frequent concerns for our private clients. We’ve discovered Wi-Fi cameras disguised as phone chargers, audio recorders in lamp bases, and tracking devices in children’s toys. The Residential Experience: Our derby private investigators arrive in unmarked vehicles at times that suit your schedule. We provide cover stories if neighbours might notice. Sweeps of typical 3-bedroom properties take 2-4 hours, with immediate verbal findings and comprehensive written report delivery within 48 hours. Protect your family’s personal security with TSCM expertise that leaves no corner unchecked.

Protection Against Corporate Espionage: Industrial surveillance costs British businesses billions annually.

Our professional services neutralise these threats before damage occurs. Post-sweep, we provide security recommendations including regular sweep schedules, visitor protocols, and physical security improvements tailored to your business premises.
