Bug Detector

Author: safetydan  December 8, 2008

            Is someone bugging you? Or is someone watching you with a hidden camera? Don’t know for sure? Maybe you could hire a private detective to do a check of your home or office, but what about that motel or hotel room or time share you might stay in ? What if the bug or camera were put in place after the check was made? The most practical solution would be to have your own completely portable bug detector that can be used any place, any time.

            A high quality bug detector will help you find that hidden microphone or camera as well as detect anything putting off radio frequency energy. When searching your office, home or whatever be thorough. Bugs come in all different sizes and shapes and can be smaller than a penny. If you planted a bug, where would you hide it?



Hidden surveillance cameras

It’s hard to know exactly what is going on in a busy area when multiple events are happening simultaneously.  In a bank for instance, one pair of eyes is not enough to monitor the transactions at the counter, the customers entering and exiting the building, in line at the ATM machine, using the ATM machine, the clients conversing with the manager, and the bank employees taking a break, talking on the phone, visiting the vault, busy with their computers, or doing nothing. 
 
This is where hidden surveillance cameras come in.  Hidden surveillance cameras are intended to catch the goings-on in a specific place without being obvious.  They are positioned strategically and inconspicuously to capture as much of the action as possible.  Big, important offices and high-traffic areas such as airports, hospitals, banks, and stations make use of such cameras.  Often, there are hidden surveillance cameras at the entrance of many buildings to monitor the people who go by and their resultant behavior.  Some stores also use them to check on their employees’ and customers’ conduct. There is a tape inside a surveillance camera that records everything that the camera sees.  This tape can be played back if someone wishes to know what occurred at a particular day and time.

There are several ways to make a place more secure.  One is by erecting walls to surround it.  Another is by putting locks on all portals.  Hiring a guard or several sentries to watch over things is also effective.  Yet another way is by installing surveillance cameras in different areas to check and record all action.
 
Some people however prefer more advanced methods like fingerprint identification.  Fingerprints, after all, are unique for each person and would be quite difficult to falsify or alter.  Biometric locks use this technique as the primary locking mechanism.  Biometric access control can be implemented in any security device – from a single lock for a home to a comprehensive protection system for a huge business or office.  Influential individuals and corporations prefer this innovative and dependable form of security and spend thousands of dollars to get the best kind of protection.



Home Surveillance Cameras- Fake or Real

Installing a home security system is a smart option. Well placed home security cameras, some real and some fake,  will make your house less tempting for a criminal. They don’t want to be recorded for evidence on your home surveillance cameras.

Another good idea,  even for those with home surveillance cameras,  is to join or form a neighborhood watch. Burglars hate nothing more than knowing they are being watched.
