I've actually done some training at the REI facility in tennessee. My group does not work primarily with bug sweeping, but we do own a piece of equipment made by REI called an OSCOR. It's essentially a spectrum analyzer with some additional bells and whistles. It can demodulate analog audio, detect burst transmissions, frequency-hopping signals, detect signals being transmitted via a standard power outlet, and even detect signals being transmitted via light... That last one was surprising. A normal desk lamp, for example, it's not just "on"; it's actually fluctuating on and off faster than your eye can detect. By modulating the flashing, you can send signals that you can see with your eyes but your brain is unable to notice. People have a hard time truly understanding just how insanely fast electronics work. That being said, one of my issues with that piece of equipment in particular is its total lack of ability to decode anything digital. That's not to say REI hasn't created some other piece of equipment that is capable of doing so. So it could be handy for finding something that is transmitting a signal, but unless it's analog you'll have no idea what it's actually transmitting
We moved next door to my husband’s parents 7 years ago. We rent from them. They have 3 other rental properties not far. I began noticing little things being brought up in conversations that were things we never told anyone else. Knowing about things we didn’t say to them. …These two people actually bugged his 93 yo mother’s phone to find out what she was doing with her will. I told my husband,..if they did it once , they might have liked being in the know even when they aren’t around??? I truly believe that there are some type of listening devices put in this house when they partially remodeled before we got here. I don’t know where to begin looking. His mother is an extreme gossiper and his dad likes gadgets. After knowing that someone actually tapped the elderly mother’s phone and recorded conversations….I wouldn’t put anything past these two. I need a starting point.
This is sad. You can't trust your parents in law. Must be stressful to deal with them. Search in TH-cam for how to spot hidden cameras and audio recording bugs. There must be something in your residence. Good luck finding it 👍

What kind of devices would Police and Intelligence Services predominantly use to bug a house and car? Can whiteware such as fridge and chest freezer be used? How is it that for less that $30 someone can ruin people's lives, but in order for victims of this kind of surveillance abuse it costs them near bankruptcy to get any sort of help?
I’m going through it right now. It’s been 6 straight months of being spied on and harassed. Can’t afford it or do shit about it. They’re literally reading my texts right now out loud
I'm mostly interested in how these devices work just because electrical circuit design is a part of my hobby. Anyways, I rarely agree with hiring a professional but this is one of those situations where I probably would. A lot of these cheaper devices are basically a coil, Bluetooth ic, led, photo resistor, and some other 11 herbs and spices of components. Basically, a Bluetooth speaker with a tachometer but if a professional comes in with a semi-conductor detector they are likely to find a bug if you have one. Although, my house would be a nightmare. I've got MOSFETs in my couch, transistors in my dresser, and the occasional 555 timer I dropped and lost. For your Orion device do those semi-conductors need to be active for detection? When I was in the military we used something similar for IED detection because carbon rods became the favorite. You had a difficult time inducing a current into carbon so metal detectors would miss them but they are still decent conductors. Anyways, thanks for putting this video up and while it wasn't the answer I wanted it was the answer I needed.
Hey John, You have great content. I believe their is a gps tracker & voice recorder in my vehicle. I just want to know what is the proper equipment to purchase in order to find these devices in my vehicle 🚗. Please and thank you.
Maybe it is just me, and I don't YET have any proof of this, but I strongly believe that all these "airbag recalls" and "FREE airbag replacements" are a way to get tracking devices into old cars so the government can track older vehicles the way almost all new models are tracked with OnStar, exc... I refused to follow through on the scare tactics and I wish people knew how they are stalking me just to place a flier with my info on my windshield wipers.😳 The airbag thing is super suspicious.
Also, fairly new vehicles all have the Amazon Alexa built in, whether you want it or not. When my parents bought their car, I went on Amazon to buy something for them, and Amazon had a question pop up asking me which vehicle I was buying things for, and when I answered the question, Amazon responded by saying that vehicle has Alexa and I can activate it. 😳WTF?! the car was used, but not THAT new of a car either.

There is a real problem with private surveillance. The only way to make it go away is with strict bans with mandatory 20 year sentences for any entity caught violating the bans, and no limits on the amount of money a victim can be awarded against the actual perpetrators and the suppliers of the equipment.
Strict Bans, Victim and supplier awards....more government controls... sounds like democratic solution.... You do realize the anti-bugging regs were designed to protect politicians... now that bugs are so cheap it has moved into the civilian domain... Its unfortunate, but the only people you would be punishing would be the Americans... your not going to get Chinese suppliers to do anything but smile on the way to the bank... beware what you wish for...
@@donabernathy486 , If the Americans don't or can't buy, the Chinese can't supply. Private entities are never within their rights to conduct surveillance operations against the American people or individual citizens. It is time to force our legal system to reflect this fact and stop making excuses for the amount of big data surveillance and dossier collection perpetrated against We The People by all sorts of assorted private actors. There is a world of difference between an individual using an Air Tag to track their own property and a criminal using the same to enable crime. The criminal should be slapped with a 20 year sentence for the surveillance in the furtherance of crime alone, in addition to the sentence for the actual crime. The manufacturer and sales entity should also be charged and imprisoned for supplying the criminal with the device, knowledge, and or technology. Have you considered that the CCP, the Iranian mad mullahs, the North Koreans, the Russians, and other totalitarian regimes benefit from surveillance of the American people by private entities? How better to identify and compromise a person in a sensitive job than to have access to plus the ability to manipulate that person's data with the help of greedy private surveillance and data companies? Have you considered the evil effects of allowing private companies to decide through credit scores and other private ratings with near zero government oversight our ability to succeed in life? And yes, you are absolutely correct about the Wiretapping Act protecting the rich and the powerful from us. The letter of the Act makes no distinction between rich or poor, government of private citizen. In reality, try doing to a rich data mining executive what that executive does to the rest of us and see what happens. That is because we have a two tiered legal system with a separate compartment for the rich and the powerful. Gun control is also there to protect the rich and the powerful from us, in direct violation of the 2A. Gun bans only stop We The People from getting weapons. The rich and their bodyguards can always get special exceptions for themselves. The mere fact that private companies have access to our most intimate personal details is obscene and never has a right to exist in a free and democratic society. The only way to put a stop to such injustice is by totally eliminating the ability of private entities to have access to our personal details without permission. There is no reason for any private entity to have permanent free random access to medical and financial data. Location data should also be off limits. We have grown a private government with tyrannical intentions, near zero limits on the unearned and undeserved power it wields, and zero ability to legally remove it or its individual members from their undeserved and unearned power. The only way to amend this problems peacefully is to change our laws to bar all private surveillance other than basic security on premises, ban all big data snooping into our lives, and an enforcement system with lengthy prison time for those who violate privacy rights, especially executives in charge of companies that commit such violations. There is absolutely no justification for private LPRs, medical data access, financial data access, and other warrantless personal data access by private entities. There is no good created by the private surveillance and dossier state we currently live under.
@@ic7481 , There is only one way to fix the cell phone bug problem and that is with ROM based operating systems for the important functions such as calling, sensors, mics, cameras, etc. There should also be hard disconnect switches for all sensors, cameras, and mics and power supply which fully disconnect them when the owner of the phone wishes to disable them. That will disable any spyware.
Do bugs and intrusive surveillance give u migraines ? I know I’m under direct and intrusive surveillance but ever since my phones been took control of my isp router has been took over and I’ve found a few Bluetooth devices I have been having severe migraines 😔🤕
Does it make sense to carry cheaper detecting devices to hotels and airbnb for a quick scan? Or will it miss the hidden cameras the majority of time? It’s impossible to hire a professional bug sweeping service every time you stay at a hotel…
Hi John, my car has a sun sensor in the middle of dash where the windshield meets the dash. I recently swept my car using a hand-held RF detector. I was careful to set the sensitivity level to a very low to minimize the false positives and to ensure that the detector sense to devices only within 2-3 feet radius. When I hover the detector next to the sunlight sensor, it gave out strong beeping sound. Another area in the car that gives strong beeping sound is when I hold the detector horizontally on the passenger seat with antenna pointing towards the front of the car. Is this I should look further into? Or do you think the car sensors do emit some type of RF signals and these are all false signals?
What about monitoring SIP traffic say if a phone is being used to monitor the location with the user unaware. I know some of the Cisco 69xx phones had issues with that. But more to the point, ip connected cameras? Any network level monitoring?
Hi, I am nearly certain my room and my car has been bugged for months John. I briefly worked as a Private Investigator and on an LP Detective task force for a little over a year (2 years combined). I've noticed strange, regular, consistent chirping noises coming from my ceiling behind the lamp light, as well as my cars backseat. I recently used an RF detector on the back seat and found a match. I'm not in a place where I can tear the vehicle apart. But I plan on doing so tomorrow. What type of brand of this listening device is this? I know I've seen it before, I have read up on it, my mind is just completely alluding me at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
Buy a 7 or better pound magnet from Menards like a black hole in outer space you pull everything into it, run it along the cushions of the seats even if you don’t find it you’ll most likely break it. Sorry I’m no professional but I do know what I’m talking about.
I use Ekahau Sidekick and AirCheck™ G2 if analyzing the spectrum of "normal" Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). They are expensive but nothing compared to what pros are using
Greet you Sir, please I am a cyber security specialist and one of the things I have started is detecting bugs but watching your video has made have a broad knowledge about devices and tools for detecting bugs. Sir can I please have a list of the devices like what you showed in the video to help my work in terms of accuracies? Am from Ghana, thanks a lot.
Thanks, I will keep this in mind for future videos. My Introduction to TSCM course goes a lot more in depth on what our equipment does and I cover specific spy types of equipment. With pictures and info. I have a huge sale going on this month for it the coupon is here in case you are interested tinyurl.com/ypk8t624
Yes!!..exactly what he said show all the different types of devices and tools involved and how they work and how they can be detected or jammed! Please n thank u
@@JohnMorrisThePIGuy thank you for sharing this link. I know I am being spied on by my landlord. I recently hired a fake wanna be detective that didn't do a though job looking for bugs...I knew this from watching your videos. Instead of paying him thousands I should've paid for your training, because I'm all back to square one and broke....
What do you think about the M8000. I swept my jeep with It coincidently it went crazy when I swept the areas I probably would have chosen if I were to hide a cam. Some places I figures it just the air bag system maybe or other sensors within the cars system. But. The corner of the window. Even while the door is open?? The side of the seat.? The speaker door panel. The arm rest on passenger doors. ? Was wondering what a professional thinks before tearing thing apart. . Would appreciate your feedback.
By the way, is there a correlation such as - cheaper spy devices are more prone to being caught by cheaper spy detectors? And the more expensive the spy bug is, the more unusual its transmission frequencies are, therefore the more sophisticated detecting equipment is needed?
For the most part, yes. A properly sophisticated bug might not be found, even by a team of professionals. That's assuming they are even using a bug, and not some other way to gain access to your info.
I don’t regret watching this video before thinking about purchasing a “bug detector”. However, knowing I won’t be taking the full surveillance ops route in the short time I have before vacation, I think I’ll still end up getting a RF detector, specifically the M8000. (Comes with a semi-useless magnetic detector, and lens reflector).
Thanks for the comment. The M8000 - amzn.to/3p2dz4Y - Is similar to one I tested in this video - tinyurl.com/rvrppmc8 - The magnet detector is actually somewhat useful in searching for GPS trackers on vehicles, if they are attached by magnet that is.
I'm going through a scary 😨 situation. Hi I'm Tk from delaware. And I highly I'm being surveillanced and stalked. When I drive at night I have flases of lights following me. Or what I believe to be as some sort of drones. I hear faint voice conversations coming from the trunk of my SUV. AND I NOTICED VEHICLES WITH THEIR LIGHTS OFF FOLLOWING. WHERE SOME SORT OF ELECTRIC SCOOTER OR VEHICLE. IN MY APARTMENT ARE THE SAME FAINT VOICE CONVERSATIONS FROM MY VENT/WALL IN MY BATHROOM AND BED ROOM. STRange lights emitting from my closet. This morning I woke up to a strange blue or even red light in the dark facing towards me. Then blinks off and dissapears. Schedule timing of my heating system comes on whenever i move. Or even entering my home or another room. My cell phone starts to get hot. Battery drains fast or some normal functions momentarily wont work. me and my children highly scared and uncomfortable. My son describes it as hearing and seeing monsters. I need help checks my home. Are there people I can hire that can verify or explain what's going on. PLEASE 🙏🏾 HELP
Pray. Ask God in the name of Jesus Christ to protect and defend you and yours from these entities. They may be coming from a darker place than this mortal realm.
I planted a seed & the person that lives with me told another person about it. It made its way back to me. Another time the same person who lives with me was watching TV. I heard my voice on the TV. I confronted him. He said, “the TV messed up.” I said, “NO (his name), you just did.”
My friend have been renting for about 2 years or more and her bug detector was going crazy around her smoke detector. She was freaking out, but, she is not sure what to do.
How spot without a detector a spy camera build in a wall camouflaged with illuminating dots ? Dots illuminate when hidden cam light those dots. Pls answer asap!! Thnx
Thank you so much for the information, it was eye opening. Should somebody be concerned enough to want to have a sweep performed, how would they find somebody in their local area? And what are the price ranges for a search?
Good day Sir, I would like to inquire as to what gadget or device that you can recommend to the average consumer to detect for hidden cameras or listening devices. I am a Mother who just wants to protect her children. Thank you
How do you detect bugs that are entirely inactive until a scheduled time, and that do not burst data? Also, wondering if the Orion would detect bugs that are shielded in some manner.
We are dealing with a stalking situation that involves a child we are fostering and happens to be the mother of said child who has actually made death threats to child. We recently bought an RF GS Detector device made in China (Spydefy K-18 model) and are having difficulty figuring out how to operate it, let alone it it actually works
Hello, in my opinion, these detectors must detect 2G, 3G, 4G transmitters, and Bluetooth signals because of airtags and not 6 million megahertz. Maybe infrared cameras.
The cheapest detection equipment is 2 L shaped, thick copper rods, 1 in each hand, pointing outward in a leveled form. When they detect, the rods cross each other.
Question: if you cannot detect the device due to lack of resources and money, is there a way to block it (without blocking your own devices or WiFi)? What could I use to do this?
Hi John, do you know any PI in Houston, tx, that you can recommend that could help me with finding my car tracker device, I looked everywhere but can’t find it, it’s might be a radio tracker or something, thanks very much. More they listen to all my phone calls , change phone number did not help, they hacked my computer also, and know all websites that I. View or what I bought online. Help plz
Thanks for the info new to your channel. Well I use one from China and i have not found a bug yet!!! 😅 lol hahaha bug-free... i have been enjoying your content. I have learned some usefull information.
So what can an average person buy to protect themselves at hotel rooms, etc.? We're not going to buy $30,000 worth of equipment and lug it with us on vacation.

I can find them faster than your equipment and without it. You got to pop whatever it’s being stored on or else blow the mic itself. I got followed by DEA,ATF,FBI and US boarder patrol/homeland security for around 4 years before being indicted in a major drug trafficking conspiracy. Plus (Nowadays) I’m a spiritual leader and Native American. Everything you see physically is a frequency, the world itself is a frequency. We’re energy and I’m a 3 time cancer survivor, I did radioactive iodine so I’m magnetic and can feel them long before I try look for them. I’d like to do some training with you guys and learn what professionals are looking for. I recently found a tape worm in the carpet with a wire inside of it, literally a piece of wire. Nobody believed me it was a listening device until I dug it out and on the end was a small disposable vape activation mechanism doubled into a battery with Bluetooth chips soldered onto a little PWB the side of the battery/activating mechanism. I found it because the pain was so sharp I thought I stepped on a tac. There wasn’t anything sharp to it and it was flat in the pad under the carpet. Your thoughts on all this ?
Do you know of anyone in Chattanooga TN or around there that can do a sweep on my home and cars. I talked to a person about 1yr ago that said he would charge 5k but had this equipment that you use.
Hello! I really need some help. I have a problem that will sound completley absurd. But i am in a situation that i can only see suecide as the only way out.

I need advices from someone please. I'm being harrassed for close to 1 month and a half and I'm being followed up to my work and grocery and other necessary commodities. I start to recognize some faces, cars ans strategies. They are not that subtile and I'm in hyper vigilance mode so I take note of everything suspicious or potentially suspicious. I called the police 2 times and explain the situation. I've been told that if the persons do not do anything really concrete, police cannot do anything. Still it's super stressful, I don't go out anywhere not if not necessary and I'm always armed and never stop to places where I could be alone. I'm starting to believe that I might have a tracker on my car. Tracker Detector are super expensive and I'm about to go unemployed because I'm starting to have difficulties to concentrate, I'm super nervous and distracted and I just cannot see life going on like that for long. I'm starting to think about permanent solution
This is what the 2nd amendment is for. The right to bear arms. Don't let creeps take away your power. Call a gun range & take firearm lessons & always carry. When I was going through the police academy years ago, the instructor said it best "We (the police) are not there to protect you. We are there to mop you up." Meaning by the time the cops get to your residence, the crime has already been committed. As a female, I can't imagine not having a good gun after I, too was stalked. Good luck & go live your life.
Any advice for someone that is not a professional but wants to perform their own personal sweeps in rentals, Air B&Bs and other places against other people's personal use of devices or even law enforcement?

I had entities attached to me and a healer came to my home and sweeped my whole entire home with an EMF detector from Amazon, for these entities, and he asked if he could test me with an EMF detector and sure enough he found it on my heart chakra. That detector beeped so loud and put it near me, then far a few time's and it only beeped on that one area where my heart center is. So yes, it does find entities..
Buy some conductive paint, paint the walls of your clean room, or your whole house, splice it off of a circuit to power it up. You won't be able to use WiFi, but you can hardwire internet to the clean room. You would be creating what is called a Faraday cage. A barrier of electrical interference that blocks wifi. For thermal scans buy some space blankets and fix them to your ceilings. You would be a blank spot for any Satellite spying on your house. It works for soldiers to evade thermal detection.
You mention that it takes thousands of dollars to properly detect, but in the same video you tell us we get what we pay for and give a link to a $149.00 detector. Can you clarify why this $149.00 detector you sponsor is going to work at all? Thank you!
Hi Richard, thanks for the comment. Nope, I am not too worried about anyone spying on me most of the time. Check out my video on checking for bugs in hotel rooms here th-cam.com/video/9H86qAWMFUs/w-d-xo.html
I agree with your explanations. However, the complex bugs you allude to are probably more associated with state-sponsored monitoring. Your typical hotel monitoring device is probably as inexpensive as the detection devices you say to stay away from, and probably more detectable. But who cares much about listening bugs? Most of us are worried about video recording devices. And for detecting those, a simple and cheap IR source and lens can spot those. Good info, though.
I actually stumbled across this because I wanted to build some type of short distance audio pickup to help me hear, since I am half deaf, and hearing aids tend to amplify EVERYTHING, including background noise, so they do not help me. I thought something similar to a bug, that I could interface to the audio output jacks. So I was intrigued by this video title and watched it. VERY COOL and VERY informative (non-technical, but hey! Still learned a LOT!) So one question does arise... do you pick up hearing aids and what are those heart beat correction things called--I forget.... oh pace makers? Just curious... tyvm for your considerations and for your video! Sub'd >> I always enjoy good video productions!
What would you advise the average traveler to purchase under say $500 to sweep hotel rooms for cheap pervert cams? If none, how much do you have to spend before getting decent equipment?
I don't recommend any equipment for personal use, there simply are way too many variables at play and there is no, "One thing does it all" type of equipment. We utilize tens of thousands of dollars in professional equipment and training for our technicians. As for a cost to sweep a hotel room, it really depends on the location, timing and a lot of other factors. Every TSCM company has differing processes and and costs. I would recommend you get quotes form LOCAL TSCM companies when traveling.
Hey, going to a hotel and I want to be sure we aren't in the next underground video. What would you use to detect camera activity in your room. Thanks PI guy

I refused to follow through on the scare tactics and I wish people knew how they are stalking me just to place a flier with my info on my windshield wipers.😳 The airbag thing is super suspicious.
Also, fairly new vehicles all have the Amazon Alexa built in, whether you want it or not. When my parents bought their car, I went on Amazon to buy something for them, and Amazon had a question pop up asking me which vehicle I was buying things for, and when I answered the question, Amazon responded by saying that vehicle has Alexa and I can activate it. 😳WTF?! the car was used, but not THAT new of a car either.
@@VMR8648 One more reason for me to love old cars! X3
Seriously, my ride is a catastrophe. Everything's exposed, and I'm always working on it. They'd have to do a pretty damn good job hiding something! X3
Did you ever find out for sure?
There is a real problem with private surveillance. The only way to make it go away is with strict bans with mandatory 20 year sentences for any entity caught violating the bans, and no limits on the amount of money a victim can be awarded against the actual perpetrators and the suppliers of the equipment.
Strict Bans, Victim and supplier awards....more government controls... sounds like democratic solution.... You do realize the anti-bugging regs were designed to protect politicians... now that bugs are so cheap it has moved into the civilian domain... Its unfortunate, but the only people you would be punishing would be the Americans... your not going to get Chinese suppliers to do anything but smile on the way to the bank... beware what you wish for...
@@donabernathy486 ,
If the Americans don't or can't buy, the Chinese can't supply. Private entities are never within their rights to conduct surveillance operations against the American people or individual citizens. It is time to force our legal system to reflect this fact and stop making excuses for the amount of big data surveillance and dossier collection perpetrated against We The People by all sorts of assorted private actors. There is a world of difference between an individual using an Air Tag to track their own property and a criminal using the same to enable crime. The criminal should be slapped with a 20 year sentence for the surveillance in the furtherance of crime alone, in addition to the sentence for the actual crime. The manufacturer and sales entity should also be charged and imprisoned for supplying the criminal with the device, knowledge, and or technology.
Have you considered that the CCP, the Iranian mad mullahs, the North Koreans, the Russians, and other totalitarian regimes benefit from surveillance of the American people by private entities? How better to identify and compromise a person in a sensitive job than to have access to plus the ability to manipulate that person's data with the help of greedy private surveillance and data companies? Have you considered the evil effects of allowing private companies to decide through credit scores and other private ratings with near zero government oversight our ability to succeed in life?
And yes, you are absolutely correct about the Wiretapping Act protecting the rich and the powerful from us. The letter of the Act makes no distinction between rich or poor, government of private citizen. In reality, try doing to a rich data mining executive what that executive does to the rest of us and see what happens. That is because we have a two tiered legal system with a separate compartment for the rich and the powerful. Gun control is also there to protect the rich and the powerful from us, in direct violation of the 2A. Gun bans only stop We The People from getting weapons. The rich and their bodyguards can always get special exceptions for themselves.
The mere fact that private companies have access to our most intimate personal details is obscene and never has a right to exist in a free and democratic society. The only way to put a stop to such injustice is by totally eliminating the ability of private entities to have access to our personal details without permission. There is no reason for any private entity to have permanent free random access to medical and financial data. Location data should also be off limits.
We have grown a private government with tyrannical intentions, near zero limits on the unearned and undeserved power it wields, and zero ability to legally remove it or its individual members from their undeserved and unearned power. The only way to amend this problems peacefully is to change our laws to bar all private surveillance other than basic security on premises, ban all big data snooping into our lives, and an enforcement system with lengthy prison time for those who violate privacy rights, especially executives in charge of companies that commit such violations. There is absolutely no justification for private LPRs, medical data access, financial data access, and other warrantless personal data access by private entities.
There is no good created by the private surveillance and dossier state we currently live under.
A mobile phone can be converted into a bug...
It's a problem we'll never likely fix now
Jesus saves.
@@ic7481 ,
There is only one way to fix the cell phone bug problem and that is with ROM based operating systems for the important functions such as calling, sensors, mics, cameras, etc. There should also be hard disconnect switches for all sensors, cameras, and mics and power supply which fully disconnect them when the owner of the phone wishes to disable them. That will disable any spyware.
would this work for ants they seem to know when im gone and take the sugar i leave out for later.
Thanks so much for the honest truth.
I dont know if you ever heard of the Prepared hero Pen do you recommend this device?
Do bugs and intrusive surveillance give u migraines ? I know I’m under direct and intrusive surveillance but ever since my phones been took control of my isp router has been took over and I’ve found a few Bluetooth devices I have been having severe migraines 😔🤕
FYI a resistor is NOT a non-linear junction, it cannot be detected by the device you mentioned.
Does it make sense to carry cheaper detecting devices to hotels and airbnb for a quick scan? Or will it miss the hidden cameras the majority of time? It’s impossible to hire a professional bug sweeping service every time you stay at a hotel…
Thanks. I tried to address this in this video - th-cam.com/video/GYY0TwXijqM/w-d-xo.html
Hi John, my car has a sun sensor in the middle of dash where the windshield meets the dash. I recently swept my car using a hand-held RF detector. I was careful to set the sensitivity level to a very low to minimize the false positives and to ensure that the detector sense to devices only within 2-3 feet radius. When I hover the detector next to the sunlight sensor, it gave out strong beeping sound. Another area in the car that gives strong beeping sound is when I hold the detector horizontally on the passenger seat with antenna pointing towards the front of the car. Is this I should look further into? Or do you think the car sensors do emit some type of RF signals and these are all false signals?
What about monitoring SIP traffic say if a phone is being used to monitor the location with the user unaware. I know some of the Cisco 69xx phones had issues with that. But more to the point, ip connected cameras? Any network level monitoring?
Thanks for this information...very informative!
Hi, I am nearly certain my room and my car has been bugged for months John. I briefly worked as a Private Investigator and on an LP Detective task force for a little over a year (2 years combined).
I've noticed strange, regular, consistent chirping noises coming from my ceiling behind the lamp light, as well as my cars backseat. I recently used an RF detector on the back seat and found a match. I'm not in a place where I can tear the vehicle apart. But I plan on doing so tomorrow.
What type of brand of this listening device is this? I know I've seen it before, I have read up on it, my mind is just completely alluding me at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
Buy a 7 or better pound magnet from Menards like a black hole in outer space you pull everything into it, run it along the cushions of the seats even if you don’t find it you’ll most likely break it. Sorry I’m no professional but I do know what I’m talking about.
I use Ekahau Sidekick and AirCheck™ G2 if analyzing the spectrum of "normal" Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). They are expensive but nothing compared to what pros are using
Thanks
One should make a faraday cage in a garage just for cars with a good amount of radio receivers set to scan their own set ranges.

What would find federal grade cameras and how can they be blended in?
I tried to answer your question in this Live steam - th-cam.com/video/clsU_Ho1tV0/w-d-xo.html
What do you think about the M8000. I swept my jeep with It coincidently it went crazy when I swept the areas I probably would have chosen if I were to hide a cam. Some places I figures it just the air bag system maybe or other sensors within the cars system. But. The corner of the window. Even while the door is open?? The side of the seat.? The speaker door panel. The arm rest on passenger doors. ? Was wondering what a professional thinks before tearing thing apart. . Would appreciate your feedback.
By the way, is there a correlation such as - cheaper spy devices are more prone to being caught by cheaper spy detectors? And the more expensive the spy bug is, the more unusual its transmission frequencies are, therefore the more sophisticated detecting equipment is needed?
For the most part, yes. A properly sophisticated bug might not be found, even by a team of professionals. That's assuming they are even using a bug, and not some other way to gain access to your info.
I’m looking for hidden camera detectors. That are very good. Please advise.
I don’t regret watching this video before thinking about purchasing a “bug detector”. However, knowing I won’t be taking the full surveillance ops route in the short time I have before vacation, I think I’ll still end up getting a RF detector, specifically the M8000. (Comes with a semi-useless magnetic detector, and lens reflector).
Thanks for the comment. The M8000 - amzn.to/3p2dz4Y - Is similar to one I tested in this video - tinyurl.com/rvrppmc8 - The magnet detector is actually somewhat useful in searching for GPS trackers on vehicles, if they are attached by magnet that is.
If a battery on a hidden tracking device dies, will a detector pick it up with a dead battery?
@@VMR8648 i tested my tracking device when it had gone into sleep mode and nothing could be detected so with no battery life would be the same thing

I can find them faster than your equipment and without it. You got to pop whatever it’s being stored on or else blow the mic itself. I got followed by DEA,ATF,FBI and US boarder patrol/homeland security for around 4 years before being indicted in a major drug trafficking conspiracy. Plus (Nowadays) I’m a spiritual leader and Native American. Everything you see physically is a frequency, the world itself is a frequency. We’re energy and I’m a 3 time cancer survivor, I did radioactive iodine so I’m magnetic and can feel them long before I try look for them. I’d like to do some training with you guys and learn what professionals are looking for. I recently found a tape worm in the carpet with a wire inside of it, literally a piece of wire. Nobody believed me it was a listening device until I dug it out and on the end was a small disposable vape activation mechanism doubled into a battery with Bluetooth chips soldered onto a little PWB the side of the battery/activating mechanism. I found it because the pain was so sharp I thought I stepped on a tac. There wasn’t anything sharp to it and it was flat in the pad under the carpet. Your thoughts on all this ?

I need advices from someone please. I'm being harrassed for close to 1 month and a half and I'm being followed up to my work and grocery and other necessary commodities. I start to recognize some faces, cars ans strategies. They are not that subtile and I'm in hyper vigilance mode so I take note of everything suspicious or potentially suspicious. I called the police 2 times and explain the situation. I've been told that if the persons do not do anything really concrete, police cannot do anything. Still it's super stressful, I don't go out anywhere not if not necessary and I'm always armed and never stop to places where I could be alone. I'm starting to believe that I might have a tracker on my car. Tracker Detector are super expensive and I'm about to go unemployed because I'm starting to have difficulties to concentrate, I'm super nervous and distracted and I just cannot see life going on like that for long. I'm starting to think about permanent solution
This is what the 2nd amendment is for. The right to bear arms. Don't let creeps take away your power. Call a gun range & take firearm lessons & always carry. When I was going through the police academy years ago, the instructor said it best "We (the police) are not there to protect you. We are there to mop you up." Meaning by the time the cops get to your residence, the crime has already been committed. As a female, I can't imagine not having a good gun after I, too was stalked. Good luck & go live your life.

What about frequencies aimed at home from satellites and implanted tracking devices that are monitored by research.
Thanks for the comment
Buy some conductive paint, paint the walls of your clean room, or your whole house, splice it off of a circuit to power it up. You won't be able to use WiFi, but you can hardwire internet to the clean room. You would be creating what is called a Faraday cage. A barrier of electrical interference that blocks wifi. For thermal scans buy some space blankets and fix them to your ceilings. You would be a blank spot for any Satellite spying on your house. It works for soldiers to evade thermal detection.

How much could it cost me to get my cellphone checked for bugs and trackers and possibly get them removed?
Buy a new phone
I agree with your explanations. However, the complex bugs you allude to are probably more associated with state-sponsored monitoring. Your typical hotel monitoring device is probably as inexpensive as the detection devices you say to stay away from, and probably more detectable. But who cares much about listening bugs? Most of us are worried about video recording devices. And for detecting those, a simple and cheap IR source and lens can spot those. Good info, though.
I actually stumbled across this because I wanted to build some type of short distance audio pickup to help me hear, since I am half deaf, and hearing aids tend to amplify EVERYTHING, including background noise, so they do not help me. I thought something similar to a bug, that I could interface to the audio output jacks. So I was intrigued by this video title and watched it. VERY COOL and VERY informative (non-technical, but hey! Still learned a LOT!) So one question does arise... do you pick up hearing aids and what are those heart beat correction things called--I forget.... oh pace makers? Just curious... tyvm for your considerations and for your video! Sub'd >> I always enjoy good video productions!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
What would you advise the average traveler to purchase under say $500 to sweep hotel rooms for cheap pervert cams? If none, how much do you have to spend before getting decent equipment?
I don't recommend any equipment for personal use, there simply are way too many variables at play and there is no, "One thing does it all" type of equipment. We utilize tens of thousands of dollars in professional equipment and training for our technicians. As for a cost to sweep a hotel room, it really depends on the location, timing and a lot of other factors. Every TSCM company has differing processes and and costs. I would recommend you get quotes form LOCAL TSCM companies when traveling.
Hey, going to a hotel and I want to be sure we aren't in the next underground video. What would you use to detect camera activity in your room. Thanks PI guy
Turn off the lights and use your phones night mode to find the IR
