A. What is Counter Surveillance?

Counter Surveillance refers to measures undertaken to detect and prevent covert (hidden) surveillance. Counter Surveillance may include electronic methods of detecting surveillance devices, including covert listening devices and hidden camera devices.

Counter Surveillance devices are appropriate for detecting:

1. Hidden Cameras – Both Wired or Wireless
2. GPS Tracking Devices
3. Covert Audio Bugs

Counter Surveillance devices range widely in their capabilities. The less expensive of these devices allow you to simply detect camera lenses by physically walking around and searching for the lenses using the detector. The more professional (and more expensive) devices work by detecting different types of wireless signals. Some of the devices allow you to see the video footage being transmitted by hidden wireless cameras or even ‘guard’ against future covert devices being brought into the vicinity. It is very important to be cognizant of what specific features are needed for your specific situation.

B. Counter Surveillance Feature Checklist:

1) Detects Hidden Cameras – Does the device detect Hidden Cameras? Wired or Wireless?

2) Detects Wireless Devices – Will the device detect wireless surveillance devices? On which frequencies?

3) Detects Audio Devices- Will the device detect covert audio bugs?

4) Detects GPS Devices – Will the device detect GPS tracking devices?

5) Range of Detection – Depending on how powerful the covert device is and where it is located, can the counter surveillance device detect the covert device.

6) Displays Video Feed – Whether the device displays the covert video feed. This can be useful for determining where the surveillance device is located.

7) Playback of Audio Feed- Whether the device can let you listen in on the audio bug. This can be useful in determining where the audio bug is located.

8) Alarm Mode - This feature allows the device to alert you when new surveillance devices are placed in the vicinity.
