Security cameras, bugs and other tracking devices pose one of the biggest privacy threats to people and companies. Micro cameras, audio bugs, and GPS trackers invade your privacy, putting your confidential conversations and whereabouts at risk. These illegal surveillance devices pop up in residences, offices, hotel rooms, and automobiles in Oklahoma each year. Private Eyes Reveal the Hidden Types of Video and Audio Recording Devices & Tracking Devices Our Private Investigation Agency Can Uncover to help you identify threats before they do us harm. In this blog, we will highlight the different types, common “hideout” locations and methods of detection. Our private eyes in Oklahoma City use state-of-the-art scanning equipment to spot evidence of devices trained eyes can’t.
Private Eyes are Good at Spotting Hidden Video Cameras
One of the most popular types of hidden surveillance cameras is hidden video cameras. Pinhole cameras are embedded in smoke detectors, clocks, picture frames, and wall outlets. Other cameras hide in phone chargers, books, desktop fans, and more. My colleagues and I quickly detect these with radio frequency and optical lens equipment. Other spy cameras use wireless connections to transmit video data to receivers several miles away. Some hide and store video on cards embedded inside walls and ceilings. Commercial sweeps keep your home and all of your work locations secure.
Kinds of Spying Audio Bugs to Be Found
Audio bugs record private conversations but are completely undetectable. The minuscule eavesdropping microphones are concealed in pens, USB plugs, teddy bears, and air fresheners. Other devices can stream audio conversations to devices in another room or to a mobile phone. Our detectives can find hidden bugs using non-linear junction detectors and spectrum analyzers. We occasionally find audio devices embedded in walls, beneath tables, or in baseboards in critical rooms. Many process servers in Oklahoma face listening bug devices planted by their adversaries in sensitive legal matters. Federally outlawed and an Oklahoma felony, taping conversations without consent is a serious crime.
GPSs Placed on Autos
GPS devices allow spies, stalkers, and envious lovers to track your every move. Someone places tiny magnets under the car, in the wheel well, and behind the bumper. Others report your movements via the internet, 24 hours per day. Our OKC private investigators do careful sweeps of vehicles using hand-held RF detectors and visual examination. Other trackers send out low-power Bluetooth signals that only devices with nearby paired devices can trigger. I detect GPS trackers in everyday cases where domestic spying takes place and in commercial cases in Edmond and Norman around me. If you think someone is tracking your car, do not delay – call us immediately.
Cyber-espionage and computer tracking
Today’s surveillance is increasingly moving to computers and mobile devices. Spyware secretly tracks keystrokes, takes screenshots, and relays email. Stalkerware sets up shop on mobile phones to track calls, texting and locations. Our forensic analysts quickly identify these “stealth” cyber threats with forensic software. Malicious remote access trojans give others access to webcams or microphones on someone’s cell phone. Stalkerware installed by abusers is commonly found in our digital cleanup when working with domestic violence survivors. We find industrial espionage often employs advanced spyware to monitor communications and operations data of executives and finance.
Specialist Tools Require Expertise to Find
Private eyes identify specialty devices, in addition to cameras and bugs. Passive infrared (PIR) cameras sense heat through walls. Laser microphones record the vibrations of windows to audio. Specialized equipment is hidden within functional Alexa speakers, TVs, and home security systems. We employ heat sensors, signal processing hardware, and delicate disassembly of equipment in sophisticated sweep cases. Meeting rooms in corporations, law office, and government offices are prime targets for special monitoring devices. Especially high-value targets can benefit from periodic sweeps by our team of experienced private investigators with the proper equipment.
Our Private Investigation Agency’s Sweep Process
Professional privacy sweeps are thorough, covering each and every nook and cranny. Our agents start with RF (radio frequency) scanning, identifying wireless activity. Non-linear junction detection finds electronics embedded in walls, ceilings, and other items. Close visual inspection of furniture, appliances, and fixtures finds non-wireless devices. Documentation of all findings and photos and written reports accompany our findings. Sometimes, process servers deliver corresponding court papers while we complete our sweep report on-site. Our sweep gets peace of mind and admissible evidence.
