A Wireless Bug Detector Gives You Peace Of Mind

By Steve Thibeault

"Big Brother is watching you!" We have heard this saying often and it seems that as we living in the technology age and have to deal with an ever rising crime rate, it is especially true. Wherever we go, we noticed those pesky surveillance cameras. Whilst we have come to expect this in a public environment, it should not be acceptable in a private place. Protect your business or personal interests if you suspect that you are being watched in this way and invest in a wireless bug detector.

Wireless bug detectors are miniature anti-surveillance devices. They come in a variety of shapes and forms and are used to track down and expose a variety of spying gadgets in your immediate area. The wireless bug detector is a hand held unit that you can use to sweep the area around you to look for illicit bugs.

You can be ready for almost every eventuality if you have a wireless bug detector. While spying is illegal in most societies, this doesn't stop a lot of people, who will readily invade your privacy. Use the detector in a private area within a public environment or within a hotel room, for example.

Wireless bug detectors can be used to track down audio bugs that have been inserted into phone sets, or have been placed near phones. A variety of different types of detector are available, and some of the larger ones can be used to track sophisticated spy cameras. Many of these products allow you to actually display what the spy camera sees, as well.

A wireless bug detector works by tracking a radio frequency, or RF, and "sees" radio signals being sent from one place to the other. In the case of an implanted bug this would send signals via radio frequency to an associated receiver. As the detector will scan the whole room and look for radio signals, it makes sense to switch off any computer network or your cell phone.

Cutting edge technology is used in the most up-to-date wireless bug detectors. Amazing accuracy is used through the use of microprocessor circuitry. You can adjust the sensitivity controls allowing you to really narrow in on these devices, as some of them can be smaller than a penny in size. The detectors are battery operated between 1 MHz and 3 GHz range and this covers the range most widely used by most bugs.

In the world of bugs, some more sophisticated spies may introduce bugs which operate under very high frequency level, for example 4 GHz or 6 GHz, but these are very few and far between and are very expensive. The chances are that the majority of people tempted to engage in spying on you will use a more conventional frequency range.

Whether in personal situations or in the corporate world, anti-espionage initiatives are important. You need peace of mind when you enter a private area which may have been used by somebody else before you or which is under the control of somebody else. A wireless bug detector will give you that assurance and protect your peace of mind.
