What is TSCM?

Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) involves the systematic detection and neutralization of covert surveillance devices. Our TSCM-Lite service brings professional-grade detection capabilities to residential and small business clients who may be targets of illicit monitoring.

Modern surveillance technology has become increasingly accessible and sophisticated. Miniaturized cameras can be hidden in everyday objects, audio transmitters draw power from existing wiring, and GPS trackers can operate for months undetected. Without proper detection equipment and methodology, these devices remain invisible.

Professional Detection Approach

We use RF spectrum analyzers covering frequencies from near-DC to microwave bands, non-linear junction detectors for finding electronic circuits regardless of power state, and thermal imaging to identify devices by their heat signatures. Physical inspection complements electronic sweeping.

Devices We Detect

RF transmitting audio bugs
Hidden cameras (wired and wireless)
