A Bug Finder Puts You at Ease

By Steve Thibeault

Sometimes, we get that feeling that we're being watched or listened to, although we are not sure how or why. This is sometimes known as a sixth sense and tells us that something isn't right with our surroundings. You could be the subject of any number of covert recording devices within the room that you have entered and it would take you a long time to search everywhere to see if you could find it. A bug finder, however, would immediately identify the issue.

Generally speaking, covert surveillance in a public area is frowned upon and it may even be illegal in your jurisdiction. Many states prohibit the recording of someone's voice without their consent, although this does not deter many people from doing so. If you are at all worried that you may become the subject of covert surveillance, you should consider purchasing a bug finder, which will give you peace of mind.

Some landlords have been known to take extraordinary measures when they rent or lease a home or apartment to tenants. Most would consider it unacceptable, but some do place miniature bugs, which can be as small as a coin in size, just to see what kind of a tenant you are likely to be. Even though the evidence that they may gather may not be admissible, should they wish they can manufacture a reason to evict you if they find something that they do not like.

A bug finder acts as a sweeper. All you need to do is to turn the device on and walk through a room and the product will detect any radio frequencies in use. Essentially, the scanner will detect anything which puts off RF energy and will alert you to the fact that you are being screened.

Depending on which particular model you purchase, a bug finder can be configured according to sensitivity and to tell you the direction that a particular signal is coming from. If you have a model with an LCD screen, it'll show you, through the use of top class microprocessor circuitry, the actual frequency that the bug is using.

You might not always want a spy to be aware that you are using a bug finder and some items come with inaudible alarms, such as a flash or a vibrator. When you find the bug you can simply discard it and overcome the problem right away.

The majority of covert surveillance devices operate between 1 MHz and 3 GHz frequencies and the range of bug finder products are configured accordingly. All you will need to do is decide what sensitivity levels you need and this will determine the model that you choose, in addition to the different alert options, the need for earphones or an LCD display.

Security is everything these days and you should always be aware of your surroundings. You do not want to be caught out in any way and should ensure that the bug finder that you choose will eliminate that horrible feeling of being watched.
