Protection from surveillance

Bug Detection and Technical Surveillance Detection - Protection You Can Rely On

In the age of modern technology, technical surveillance is easier than ever. A small transmitter, hidden camera, or GPS tracker is enough for someone to monitor your conversations, meetings, or travel routes. Detectum Agency specializes in detecting bugs, cameras, and tracking devices – in homes, offices, and vehicles. We operate throughout Poland, discreetly and effectively.

In short

Bug detection is a physical and electronic sweep of a room or vehicle for audio and video recording devices and GPS trackers. We use radio spectrum analysers, non-linear junction detectors and thermal cameras, and once a device is found we secure it as evidence rather than simply removing it.

Your security begins with the certainty that no one is watching you.

Signs of surveillance - how to recognize if you are being monitored

Not every surveillance device is visible to the naked eye. Often, subtle signals indicate monitoring. If you notice the following signs, it is worth commissioning a professional inspection:

  • your phone heats up or discharges faster than usual,
  • noise or interference occurs during calls,
  • electronic devices behave abnormally (turning on by themselves, flickering lights),
  • unfamiliar objects appear in your surroundings (chargers, sensors, pens with built-in cameras),
  • you feel that someone knows details of your conversations or plans.

The sooner you react, the greater the chance of effectively detecting the source of surveillance.

Methods of detecting bugs and tracking devices

Detectum uses modern methods of detecting technical surveillance based on the analysis of radio signals, electromagnetic interference, and unusual emissions in rooms. All activities are fully legal, discreet, and non-invasive to office or residential infrastructure.

In the detection process, we use:

  • analysis of radio and microwave signals,
  • frequency scanning to detect active transmitters,
  • detection of GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS transmissions,
  • physical inspection of rooms and office equipment,
  • analysis of power sources and electronic systems for hidden transmitting modules.

The combination of technical analysis and operational experience allows us to effectively detect both simple and advanced surveillance systems.

How to check an office, home, or vehicle

Each location requires a different approach. Our actions are tailored to the specifics of the space and potential threats.

Office or company inspection:

  • analysis of conference rooms, offices, and employee areas,
  • verification of office equipment (phones, routers, computers, lighting),
  • inspection of alarm systems and electrical networks,
  • protection of confidential and strategic information.

Apartment or house inspection:

  • detection of hidden cameras and microphones in furniture, sockets, and decorations,
  • analysis of wireless networks and radio signals,
  • inspection of RTV, household appliances, and power supplies,
  • full report with detected devices and security recommendations.

Vehicle inspection:

  • detection of GPS trackers and GSM devices,
  • inspection of electrical systems and upholstery,
  • analysis for hidden transmitters or audio recorders.

In every case, we ensure full confidentiality and provide a technical report with security recommendations after the inspection.

Protection against repeated surveillance

Detecting a bug is only the first step. The key is implementing protective measures to prevent reinstallation of surveillance devices.

Detectum offers:

  • consulting on the protection of confidential and sensitive information,
  • technical security audits of premises,
  • implementation of anti-surveillance procedures (for management, staff, companies),
  • periodic monitoring of sensitive locations,
  • training in recognizing surveillance threats.

Professional prevention is the most effective way to protect privacy and business secrets.

Frequently asked questions

Bug detection — questions and answers

How do I know if a room is bugged?

Typical signs include unnatural noise and clicks on the phone, batteries draining quickly, devices overheating, interference in audio equipment, traces of tampering in sockets, cable trunking and smoke detectors — and above all, third parties knowing the content of private conversations.

How long does a sweep take?

A standard office or flat usually takes a few hours. Large office floors and conference rooms take longer, as the sweep covers installations, furniture, electronic equipment and the network.

What equipment is used?

A radio spectrum analyser to find transmitters, a non-linear junction detector that locates electronics even when switched off, a thermal camera showing warm components inside walls and furniture, plus analysis of the network and devices for spyware.

What happens if you find a bug?

We do not remove it immediately. First we document the location and method of installation and secure the device as evidence, then discuss next steps with the client — pulling it out at once destroys the evidence and warns whoever placed it.

Do you sweep vehicles?

Yes. A vehicle sweep covers the interior, engine bay, underbody, electrical system and the typical mounting points for GPS trackers and microphones.
