A hidden camera detector is just one of the many instruments a technician uses in the service of technical surveillance countermeasures. TSCM is the process of detecting electronic monitoring devices, such as hidden cameras, in various locations.
Discovering hidden cameras, along with other spy devices, is a service offered by technicians in the private sector. Furthermore, TSCM (which includes camera detection) is a highly technical and specialized field in the private industry that only a few Investigators are capable of.
A vast amount of skill and experience is required to perform TSCM along with very expensive instruments, including the hidden camera detector.
Hidden Camera Locations
Hidden camera detection will involve searching various locations:
residences
vehicles
offices
and many other places
Furthermore, technicians can also use their skill/ experience to find video monitoring methods in software such as computers and smartphones. These are just a few examples of the many different places a video recording device can be discovered.
Victims of Hidden Cameras
There are many reasons individuals and organizations could be subject to being spied upon by video monitoring devices.
Businesses are sometimes found to be involved in corporate espionage:
Obtaining valuable company information from competitors
People are also occasionally the victim of video spying for reasons such as personal disputes or unjustly retribution
Thankfully, with TSCM, the victims of video spying devices have a solution.
How Does a Hidden Camera Detector Work?
So, how does a hidden camera detector work and what is it?
A hidden camera detector works by letting the user view infrared radiation light
Hidden cameras, such as a spy pen, can get detected by IR light due to the fact that they often emit very small amounts of this light.
There are many cheap hidden camera detectors on the market, including smartphone applications.
However, cheap detectors will often not work well. They are too weak and will miss hidden cameras that let off too small an amount of IR light.
Unfortunately, an expensive, powerful, and complex infrared detector will need to be used. A proper hidden camera detector will set the user back a few thousand dollars.
