How to choose a bug detector
Do you suspect that someone is listening in on your private conversations or watching you with a hidden video camera? Then you need a bug detector to find out for sure. A bug detector can help you to find hidden microphones or cameras that are transmitting a signal to a nearby location. They work by scanning for radio frequency waves. You turn them on, and then walk through a room and they will alert you if they detect any RF energy in the room. They are highly sensitive, and can be used to find transmitters that are in some cases no bigger than a dime.
There are basically two types of bug detector. One has a numeric display that shows the actual frequency of any detected transmitter. This type also includes a bargraph display to show the strength of the signal - this helps in pinpointing the source. The other type, which is less expensive, does not have the numeric display - it just gives you a signal strength indication for any detected signal.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a bug detector. Look for an LCD display for long battery life. Also, look for rechargeable NiCad batteries to save on the cost of replacement batteries. Look for a broad frequency range, as there are a number of different types of transmitters in general use. A good frequency range is from 1 MHz to 3 GHz - this covers the entire RF spectrum. Look for a microprocessor based unit - this is the latest in technology.
Another feature to look for in a bug detector is an audible beeper. This audible signal will alert you to the presence of a bug in the room. After being alerted by the beeper, you can then use the display to help you pinpoint the device. If you choose a model with an audible beeper, look for a silent alert mode. This is useful if you don't want anyone else to know that you are doing a "sweep" of a room.
All of our bug detectors can be used as general-purpose RF scanners as well as bug detectors. They can be used to test wireless video and audio setups by giving a signal frequency and strength indication. When using a bug detector, be sure to look everywhere in each room that you "sweep" - as mentioned previously, transmitters can be tiny and can be hidden in almost anything. For a good idea of what you might find, look at our hidden cameras page - you will be surprised where that hidden camera might be lurking.
As you can see, there are a number of factors involved in choosing the right bug detector. Be sure to consider the display type, whether the unit has a frequency display, the battery type, and whether or not the unit has an audible alert beeper. And be sure to do business with a company like totalsecuritywarehouse.com - you can benefit from our years of experience in this industry. Let us help you choose the bug detector that is right for your situation.
