Bug Sweep & TSCM Services: Detect Hidden Surveillance

Worried about hidden cameras, listening devices, or GPS trackers? Our certified TSCM technicians use professional-grade detection equipment to sweep your home, office, or vehicle and protect your privacy.

Protect Your Privacy With Professional TSCM Services

Hidden surveillance technology has become increasingly affordable and easy to obtain. Miniature cameras can be concealed in everyday objects - clocks, smoke detectors, power outlets, picture frames, and USB chargers. Audio bugs can be planted in phones, vehicles, and conference rooms. GPS trackers can be attached to vehicles in seconds.

If you suspect that someone is monitoring your conversations, tracking your movements, or recording your private activities, a professional bug sweep provides definitive answers.

Our TSCM technicians are trained in electronic surveillance detection and use professional equipment that consumer-grade "bug detectors" cannot match. We systematically search for and identify covert monitoring devices, document our findings, and provide recommendations for securing your space going forward.

When You Should Consider a Bug Sweep

  • During or after a contentious divorce or child custody dispute
  • If a business competitor seems to have inside knowledge of your strategy
  • After a break-in or unauthorized entry to your home or office
  • If maintenance workers or unfamiliar people have recently had access to your space
  • Before sensitive corporate meetings, negotiations, or board discussions
  • If someone seems to know details of your private conversations
  • When you receive "gifts" of electronic devices from suspicious sources
  • If you hear unusual sounds on phone lines or experience unexpected interference

Our TSCM Sweep Process

  • Pre-sweep consultation - We discuss your concerns, the history of the suspected surveillance, and plan the sweep schedule
  • Radio frequency (RF) analysis - Scanning for wireless transmissions from hidden cameras, audio bugs, and cellular devices
  • Physical inspection - Systematic visual and physical examination of walls, ceilings, furniture, fixtures, and electronics for concealed devices
  • Non-linear junction detection - Identifying hidden electronic components even when devices are powered off
  • Telephone and line analysis - Testing phone lines, network cables, and electrical wiring for tapping devices
  • Vehicle sweep - Examining vehicles for GPS trackers, audio bugs, and other monitoring devices
  • Report and recommendations - Documenting all findings and providing security recommendations to prevent future surveillance

We often recommend bug sweeps alongside counter-surveillance assessments for comprehensive protection. For corporate clients, regular TSCM sweeps are a best practice for protecting sensitive business information.

Bug Sweep FAQ

TSCM stands for Technical Surveillance Countermeasures. A bug sweep is a systematic, professional search for hidden electronic surveillance devices including hidden cameras, audio recording devices, GPS trackers, and wiretaps using specialized detection equipment.

Professional TSCM sweeps detect hidden cameras (wired and wireless), audio bugs and microphones, GPS tracking devices, cellular interceptors, modified power outlets or smoke detectors with embedded recording devices, computer spyware indicators, and phone tapping equipment.

Warning signs include: someone knowing private information they should not have, unusual sounds on phone calls, unfamiliar vehicles near your home or office, recently "gifted" electronic devices, maintenance workers with unexplained access, and interference on your radio or TV. If you suspect surveillance, do not discuss it in the potentially monitored space.

A residential bug sweep typically takes 2-4 hours. Office sweeps range from 3-8 hours depending on the size of the space. Vehicle sweeps take 1-2 hours. Comprehensive multi-location sweeps may require a full day or more.

Residential bug sweeps typically cost $1,000 to $3,000. Office sweeps range from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on size. Vehicle sweeps cost $500 to $1,500. Costs vary based on location, square footage, and complexity of the environment.

No. If you suspect electronic surveillance, keep the bug sweep confidential. Do not discuss your plans in the space you suspect is monitored, and do not use devices that may be compromised. Contact us from a secure phone or location.
