Counter Surveillance

Are you concerned about your privacy? Do you suspect that you may be under surveillance?

Although the idea that your conversations are being recorded and your movements monitored may seem far-fetched, the reality is somewhat different. Bugging devices have dropped in both price and size, and are readily available on the high street and via online retailers.

Private Detective Institute has a team of skilled counter surveillance operatives who are experienced in providing counter surveillance and bug-sweeping services for businesses, organizations and private individuals.

Signs You Are Under Surveillance

Today, both businesses and private individuals are at risk from surveillance methods. Whether you have a business competitor who wants to obtain your company secrets, or a stalker, both could obtain discreet, low-cost listening devices that may cause havoc on your business or personal life.

There are a number of signs to look out for if you suspect you are under surveillance, including:

• A noise on your telephone line – it may seem unusually distorted or quieter.
• Your business competitors seem to know your every move.
• Receiving surprise gifts or promotional material through the post or left by salespeople.
• Slight changes to physical items in your home, office or vehicle, including carpet, smoke alarms, seating, or fixtures.
• Unrequested visits from utility or maintenance companies.
• Unidentified vehicles positioned near your home or premises.

How Counter Surveillance Works

If you suspect you are under surveillance, it’s important to find out the truth and protect your personal life or your business assets immediately. In order to maintain the element of surprise, contact us via a landline or payphone that isn’t near the suspected area so the conversation will not be overheard.

Our experienced counter surveillance team use the latest, state-of-the-art technology to carry out an electronic sweep of your home or premises to detect telephone taps, electronic listening devices, radio and concealed video bugs.

We follow the electronic sweep with a full physical examination of the area, looking for suspicious new fittings, movement in the carpet or smoke alarms, discoloration of the walls, and an exterior inspection of the property especially around any phone lines entering the premises. We can also look for GPS and wireless devices that may have been fitted to your vehicle.

If you suspect you are being followed, we can also provide counter surveillance to uncover who is following you, and who they are working for.

If your privacy is under threat, we understand that this can be a very difficult and stressful time for you. Our experienced operatives carry out their work discretely and confidentially to locate bugs in your home, vehicles, workplace, and electronic equipment and even on your clothing.
