A Wireless Bug Detector Gives You Peace Of Mind

By Steve Thibeault

Do you ever get the feeling that you're being watched? Whenever we go out, it appears that some kind of surveillance device is watching our every move. Unfortunately, we have to deal with very high crime rates and this, coupled with the fact that we live in the technology age, ensures that we have to endure. Whilst we're used to being watched in the public environment, this should not be the case in a private place. If you're suspicious, you should protect your business or personal interest and find a wireless bug detector.

The wireless bug detector is basically an anti-surveillance device. Available in a variety of forms and different shapes, they can be used to find a variety of innovative spying devices in a room. Use the device to search for illicit bugs. Easily held in your hand, simply "sweep" the area around you.

In almost every society, spying is an illegal activity. However, this does not stop some people who may be tempted to invade your privacy by spying on you when you are in a hotel room, or other private quarters within an otherwise public establishment. A wireless bug detector can protect you from spying devices during almost every eventuality.

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.

By tracking radio frequency, or RF, wireless bug detectors look for radio signals that are being sent from one place to the other. For example, an implanted bug would send signals via a radio frequency to a receiver. The detector scans the whole room for radio signals and report whatever it finds. When getting ready to scan, therefore, it makes sense to switch off your cell phone or any computer network within the area.

Advanced microprocessor circuitry and cutting edge technology is used by the most up-to-date wireless bug detectors. Sensitivity controls give you flexibility and allow you to really narrow in on the bugs, especially as they can be smaller than a penny in size in some cases. Detectors are battery operated and cover the most common ranges used by the devices, between 1 MHz and 3 GHz.

Sophisticated spies can sometimes use bugs which operate on a very high frequency, 4 GHz or 6 GHz, for example. However, these are few and far between and are expensive for the spy to purchase. So, as a majority of people will use a more conventional frequency range, traditional wireless bug detectors are most often adequate.

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.
