Specialist TSCM Bug Sweeping Services UK
How we do it...
Our UK bug sweeping services are provided to locate and identify hidden audio, video recording and tracking devices by means of a process of eliminating all potential threats that may lead to eavesdropping attacks against individuals or corporate entities.
We start the TSCM bug sweep process by reviewing all devices connected to any Wifi hotspots. With near field frequency detectors we then search for any hidden devices emitting signals across a broad frequency range (3G, 4G, 5G, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS etc). The highly sophisticated equipment we use has scanning capabilities to detect any device available on the public market, plus devices utilised by government level agencies around the world. We then force dormant devices (devices not transmitting) to transmit with our array of probing antennas. The next step is to scan for camera systems with our enhanced camera lens and infrared light finders to pinpoint exactly where video recorders have been planted. With use of our T2 antennas we also scan for laser and infrared microphones. Next, we scan with thermal imagery equipment to detect devices emitting power.
Throughout the bug sweep process, we conduct thorough physical searches with the most effective piece of equipment available, the human eye.
​
Computer keyboards and other electronic equipment will be examined to determine if key loggers and similar eavesdropping equipment is installed A physical and electronic inspection is conducted on all electrical wiring, power outlets, light switches and other electronic equipment. As part of our bug detection services we also complete a physical and electronic inspection of all telecommunications equipment, floor distribution points and individual telephone sockets.
Recording Device Hiding Places
Available on the open market today are audio and video recording devices so small, you would struggle to see them with the naked eye. Once a device is purposefully hidden, the chances of seeing it, let-alone finding it are slim to none. Microphones and camera lenses smaller than a button can be hidden pretty much anywhere, hence why they are often referred to as 'pin hole cameras', or 'pin hole microphones'. Hiding places for such devices are limitless which makes easy work for perpetrators committing acts of privacy intrusion. This is why the services of a specialist TSCM technician in the UK is essential. We have the capability of quickly locating these devices to restore security and privacy within a property.
