Bug Sweep
Visual Sweep
Skill Level reflects our own assessment of our experience and proficiency in the service described. It is not a success rate or an independent industry ranking.
An initial visual inspection of an authorized home, office, vehicle, room, device, or object for common spy devices, including hidden cameras, audio recorders, GPS trackers, electronic harassment devices, unauthorized or data-stealing cables, and other surveillance equipment.
Methods include visual inspection of likely concealment points, accessible fixtures, and objects; authorized disassembly of items and fixtures.
Electronic Sweep
Methods include radio frequency (RF) detectors to scan for device transmissions; snake cameras to inspect hard-to-reach spaces; infrared cameras to detect infrared light used by night-vision devices; thermal cameras to locate heat signatures that may warrant closer inspection.
Hiring and managing a third-party specialist if the initial inspection indicates possible surveillance equipment that requires advanced examination or testing. Specialist fees require separate approval as described in the Specialists section.
Finding no surveillance equipment during a bug sweep does not confirm that none is present.
