Bugging Devices | TSCM Australia

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.

For over a decade we have been dealing with bugging devices, hidden cameras, listening devices, and trackers with satisfactory services. We are here to help you with these bugging devices and locating surveillance equipment so it can function correctly.

Let’s dive into the depth of this topic-

Power

Power is one of the most crucial factors on which a bugging device relies the most. On the other hand, bugging devices consume a lot of it. That is why you should arrange a good power supply for your bugging devices. From bugging devices hidden inside the wall to a pen-sized listening device all of them are depended on power. So treat them properly in different methods which they support like- by charging them on daily basis or managing a strong power supply so that they can work at their full potential without any interruption.

In the case of searching for bugging devices, examine the power points, extension leads, power boards, phone sockets, and so on. These are the highest possible areas where you can find such devices because all they need is the power to work and they can easily draw it from these positions.

Noise

We generally are not fond of high-volume sounds or noise. That is why most of us avoid sitting around noisy fridges, radios, or a TV at high volume. It disturbs our ears so much. Bugging systems are also like our ears. They also hate noise. So generally they are not positioned around these things. But inside or behind your couch is a perfect place for planting such devices as these places hold all conversations. So consider these places in the case of searching or planting bugging devices.

Metal

Fact says metal puts up strong resistance against transmission of all RF devices. You can examine the fact by wrapping up your phone with tin foil and calling it. This proves that placing a bug in metal boxes or metal objects will definitely decrease their performance. So in the case of searching for bugging devices, there is a low possibility of finding it in a metal box or a large metal object. But always consider these places to lower the risk.

Ease of Access

Bugging devices are generally planted in your absence or while you are sleeping. The bugging devices need proper maintenance to work properly. So look for places near your home or office where people can easily place such devices. If you doubt being bugged by someone who lives near you then they have the advantage of maintaining it over time.

While searching for these devices always keep in mind the places that are easy to access and suitable for it.

Water

Water brings destruction to electronic devices, especially devices that come with microphones, antennas, etc. so professionals would never place a bugging tool around water.

But for safety, consider these places while searching for such tools.

Fabric

Fabric is an amazing place to hide listening devices, it is easy to do that and in addition, the sound quality is magnificent. Also, consider these places- cushions, couches, headrests, mattresses, etc. Also, include the cars in your search in the case of sweeping out these bugging tools.

Areas of Importance

People generally plant listening devices in the kitchen, bedroom, or lounge according to their purpose. Hardly they would plant such devices in the laundry of teenage boys’ houses. Because it is useless. So consider the places of importance in the quest for bugging devices.
