Over decades of experience, we have manufactured and sold thousands of hidden cameras, bugging devices, listening devices and trackers. We also locate them. That is why we are here to inform you about the best probable spots to check for bugging devices and also guide you about the locations to place surveillance devices.
Power
Every bugging device consumes power to run properly. We have encountered many cases where a bugging device was concealed inside a wall and its battery was kept in the roof space. Without a constant power source, a bugging device cannot perform for long.
For a pen-sized listening device, a rechargeable battery can only guarantee hours of performance. So bugging devices require huge batteries or constant power or daily recharging to provide undisrupted services. Needless to say, power plays a significant role in bugging devices.
So while searching for bugging devices include these spots- power boards, power points, phone sockets and extension leads in your checking list.
Noise
We generally try to avoid irritating sounds like constant noises or the sound of motors etc. Because these types of sounds do not soothe our ears. The same goes for the bugging devices. Bugging devices are usually planted in calm areas so that the recording quality can be at the best level. So no one will install bugging devices near a TV or a noisy old fridge. But for the ultimate safety do not exclude these places from your search list. A couch is an appealing place to hide these types of nasty devices.
Metal
Metal has a special quality of affecting the transmission of all RF devices. Transmitters lose their performance in the presence of metal. This indicates if a bugging device is placed in a metal cabinet or box, its performance will be reduced. The same goes for the TV. That is why a pro will not hide such devices in places where the presence of metal is high. But for safety search every probable spot including the metal boxes or cabinets.
Water
It is a well-known fact that electronic devices hate water. Especially the devices with microphones and antennas lose their working capacity greatly and most of the time get killed by water. Water is a great enemy for this kind of device. So for a professional, he is likely to avoid places around water. But when the matter is for safety, include water also.
Ease of Access
A man with the intention of planting bugging devices at your office or house will definitely seek the moment of your absence or while you are sleeping. In this condition, they can execute their work with ease. But they cannot leave the device for a lifetime. They need to collect it to recharge, gather information or for many reasons. So they choose the places where the recovery rate of the device is high. Try to find out these types of places near or office or house.
Fabric
Fabric is a perfect place to hide a listening device because it is easy to access, will not cause transmission difficulties and the sound will be great. So while searching for bugging devices, always examine cushions, mattresses, couches and headrests in cars thoroughly.
Areas of Importance
The user of the bugging device does not choose any arbitrary place, he/she always chooses a place for the bug from where the operation can be executed without any harassment. So start searching in the important areas rather than searching arbitrarily.
People generally placed listening devices in the lounge, kitchen, bedroom and so on. The purpose of the user determines the place for the installation of the bug.
