Buggdetektorer och RF-detektorer

Bug and signal detectors help you investigate suspected recording devices and wireless transmissions in spaces you are authorised to inspect. Different detection methods answer different questions, so choose a device around the equipment you need to check rather than assuming one scanner finds everything.

Bug and signal detectors: what to compare

Compare the supported frequency range, sensitivity adjustment and detection method. RF detectors respond to signals within their supported range, while optical lens scanners are intended to help locate camera lenses. A camera that is powered off or stores footage locally may not transmit a signal that an RF detector can identify.

• RF scanning: check the frequency coverage and how the device displays signal strength.
• Optical inspection: review whether a lens-scanning function is included.
• Practical use: compare size, battery requirements and controls for travel or property inspections.

Understanding detection results

Phones, routers and other legitimate electronics can also produce detectable signals. Treat a reading as a reason to inspect further, not as proof of a hidden listening device. No detector guarantees that a room is free of surveillance equipment. Use the individual product specifications and instructions to understand the device’s capabilities and limitations.
