Choosing bug detectors
Do you suspect that someone may be
listening to your private conversations or watching
you with a video camera? Then you need one of our bug
detectors. These devices reveal the location of hidden
bugs by "scanning" the radio frequency spectrum
for nearby transmissions. You use them by "sweeping"
or walking through a room with the bug detector activated.
If they find a bug, you will be alerted by an audible
sound as well as receive a visible indication on the
bug detector's display. There are several factors to
consider when choosing bug detectors.
One of the first things to consider
when choosing bug detectors is the type of display.
Some models show both the signal strength and also the
actual frequency of the signal being transmitted. This
type, actually an RF scanner, can also be used for testing
your own spy equipment's transmitter capabilities. The
other common type simply gives an indication of signal
strength, which is enough information for you to find
a bug in a room.
Consider choosing bug detectors with
an LCD for low-power and long battery life. Pay attention
to the frequency range - a good bug detector covers
a range of 1 MHz to 3 GHz. This covers all possible
radio frequencies. Also, look for rechargeable NiCad
or NiMH batteries to save on the cost of buying disposable
batteries.
Another factor to consider when choosing
bug detectors in an audible alert feature. This helps
you in locating a bug in a room by starting to emit
an audible tone when a bug is detected - with the audible
signal changing and getting stronger or weaker as you
get nearer or further away from the bug. This is an
invaluable aid in finding a bug in a large room or other
area.
When using bug detectors, be sure you
"sweep" the whole room - bugs are extremely
small nowadays, with some being no larger than a dime.
Hidden cameras have also been miniaturized, with some
board cameras with transmitters being no larger than
a box of matches.
As you can see, there are quite a few factors to consider
when choosing bug detectors. Be sure to consider the
display type, whether or not there is an audible alert
feature, type of batteries, and low-power operation.
All of these different factors make for a good reason
to do business with a company such as totalsecuritywarehouse.com.
We have years of experience in this industry, and have
the necessary expertise to help you choose the bug detectors
that are right for you. In addition, we have a large
selection of all types of spy and security equipment
