According to our good friends at Wikipedia “countersurveillance refers to measures undertaken to prevent surveillance including covert surveillance. Countersurveillance may include electronic methods such as bug sweeping, the process of detecting surveillance devices including covert listening devices visual surveillance devices as well as counter surveillance software.”
Almost all listening devices and hidden cameras send out radio waves or electromagnetic radiation abbreviated RF for radio frequency. More advanced and sophisticated bugs can be remotely switched on and off making detection much more difficult, if not impossible.
But for the vast majority of listening devices and hidden cameras a good, inexpensive bug detector is more than adequate at finding these RF signals.
With that in mind here is our list of the top customer favorite countersurveillance tools. Not everybody needs one. But if you suspect that your home, office or business has a hidden camera or listening device these tools will find it.
- First on our list is this inexpensive RF Detector that sells for a discounted price of $36.95. It delivers results as good as RF detectors selling for five times the price. It can detect wireless audio bugs, Wi-Fi signals, wireless spy cameras, live cell phones and much more. It is only 4″ tall x 2 1/4″ wide x 5/8″ thick so it can fit in the palm of your hand or you can carry it in your pocket or purse. It uses two “AAA” batteries for power. It has a signal detection range of up to 32 feet. The sensitivity level is adjustable. It has both alarm and vibration notification modes. It is small enough that you can carry it with you to detect when someone is recording you. The ear headphones that come with this unit can be used for silent mode.
- Next on our list is this Analog/Digital Bug Detector that as the name implies can find all analog or digital signals with a simple flick of a switch. It is great for finding all hidden spy cameras in concealed microphones. It can find cell phones and wireless phones. The detection range of 50 MHz up to 6 GHz covers 99% of all RF frequencies. This unit is much more sophisticated and can detect Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cell phone and digital spread spectrum wireless products. It has a sensitivity tuner for making adjustments to compensate for distance.
“This device is an ideal companion for those who travel frequently, who suspect that their hotel room might be bugged. This can also be a useful device to have on hand to check public places, such as public restrooms or dressing rooms.”
