Bug Sweeps & TSCM: Hidden Camera, Microphone and GPS Tracker Detection

Bug Sweeps & TSCM: Hidden Camera, Microphone and GPS Tracker Detection

Detection of hidden cameras, microphones, GPS trackers and covert recording devices in homes, offices, boardrooms, vehicles, yachts and hotel rooms — by licensed investigators, discreetly, with a written report, across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

A hidden camera in a rental villa, a GPS tracker on a car during a divorce, a voice recorder in a boardroom before a negotiation: covert devices are cheap, tiny, sold everywhere, and used in Miami every day. FSO Guard’s licensed investigators provide professional bug sweeps — technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) — in Miami and South Florida for homes, offices, vehicles, yachts and hotel rooms, discreetly and with a written report.

Who needs a bug sweep

  • People in a divorce, separation or custody dispute who suspect a spouse is tracking or recording them.
  • Victims of stalking or a controlling ex-partner — often combined with protection.
  • Executives and companies before mergers, negotiations, board meetings and litigation.
  • High-net-worth families — residences, estates, vehicles and yachts.
  • Celebrities, athletes and public figures in hotel rooms, rental villas and dressing rooms.
  • Law firms protecting privileged conversations.
  • Short-term rental guests and owners concerned about hidden cameras.
  • Businesses with a leak — competitors who seem to know too much.

Periodic sweep programs

Scheduled sweeps for executives, family offices and law firms, with a baseline of your space that makes changes obvious.

How a sweep works

  1. Confidential call — the space, your concerns, who might be responsible, and timing; we advise you not to discuss the sweep in or near the space to be swept.
  2. Fixed quote — based on size and complexity.
  3. The sweep — RF spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection, thermal imaging, lens detection and a meticulous physical inspection, performed discreetly (as a contractor visit if you prefer).
  4. Report — findings, photographs of any devices, vulnerabilities observed and recommendations, delivered securely.

Why clients choose FSO Guard

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am being bugged or tracked?

Common signs: a spouse, ex or business rival knows things they should not; a divorce or business dispute is under way; you found a device once already; a vehicle seems to be followed; new gifts or items appeared in your space; unexplained interference or battery drain. None of these prove anything — a professional sweep does, one way or the other.

What does a bug sweep find?

Hidden cameras (wired, Wi-Fi and cellular, including those disguised as chargers, smoke detectors, clocks and outlets), audio microphones and voice recorders, GPS trackers on vehicles and boats (battery and hard-wired), cellular and RF transmitters, and, in offices, rogue devices on the network. The sweep combines RF spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection, thermal imaging, lens detection and a meticulous physical search.

Can you find a GPS tracker on my car?

Yes. Vehicle sweeps cover the exterior, wheel wells, bumpers, OBD port, under-dash and interior, including hard-wired trackers that do not transmit continuously. If a device is found we document it, and advise you on preserving it as evidence — placing a tracker on someone else's vehicle is a crime in Florida.

How long does a sweep take and what does it cost?

A vehicle takes one to two hours; a home or office is priced by size and complexity, typically half a day to a full day. Sweeps are quoted as a fixed price after a short confidential call, so you know the cost before we start.

Should we sweep before a sensitive meeting?

Yes, for boardrooms, deal rooms and executive suites before high-stakes negotiations, and for yachts and rental villas before a private stay. Many corporate clients schedule periodic sweeps.
