Bug sweeping is the process of searching an area for hidden listening and recording devices. It is also known as technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM). TSCM is the practice of detecting, identifying, and locating surveillance devices that have been planted by a third-party. Private investigators are often hired to conduct bug sweeps in order to protect the privacy of an individual or business.
Bug sweeping services are often conducted in areas such as offices, homes, and vehicles. During a bug sweep, a private investigator will use specialized equipment to detect any potential bugs or other listening devices. The equipment used during the bug sweep may include devices such as RF detectors, audio bug detectors, and other specialized tools.
