Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM)
Francis & Associates specializes in Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM), also known as bug sweeps or counter-surveillance sweeps. Our trained investigators use advanced detection tools to locate and neutralize hidden surveillance threats in homes, offices, vehicles, and personal belongings. From covert listening devices to hidden cameras and GPS trackers, we identify and eliminate electronic surveillance with discretion and precision.
Our clients include corporate executives, attorneys, public figures, foreign dignitaries, and private individuals who require absolute confidentiality and technical expertise. Whether you’re dealing with a high-stakes corporate environment, a contentious domestic situation, or personal security concerns, our objective is simple: protect your privacy and give you peace of mind.
Who Needs a TSCM Bug Sweep?
You may benefit from a professional sweep if you’ve experienced:
- Suspicion that private conversations are being overheard or recorded
- Unusual static or sounds on phone calls or conference lines
- Unexplained leaks of confidential or sensitive information
- Surprise visits from utility or telecom workers
- Signs of break-ins where nothing was stolen
- Separation or divorce involving disputes over control or access
- Concerns about stalking, harassment, or targeted behavior
Our Core TSCM Services
Corporate Electronic Countermeasures (CECM)
Comprehensive bug sweeps for executive offices, boardrooms, conference spaces, and remote work locations to prevent corporate espionage and internal leaks.
Residential Counter Surveillance (RECM)
Complete inspections of homes, apartments, and estates for hidden microphones, cameras, or tracking devices—frequently requested during divorces, disputes, or unauthorized access.
Personal and Vehicle Bug Sweeps (PVCS)
Discreet inspections of vehicles, bags, electronics, and wearables to locate hidden GPS trackers or wireless surveillance devices.
Audio and Video Device Detection
We use targeted detection methods to identify hidden transmitting or non-transmitting recorders, bugs, microphones, and miniaturized video devices.
What TSCM Bug Sweep Equipment Do We Use?
Each engagement is unique, and our choice of tools depends on the location and threat profile. We utilize commercial-grade, highly sensitive TSCM equipment, including:
Spectrum Analyzer
Detects RF signals up to 12 GHz, including unknown Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and custom surveillance transmissions.
Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD)
Identifies powered and unpowered electronic components concealed in walls, ceilings, vents, furniture, and everyday objects.
Advanced Near-Field Detection Receiver
Locates microphones, video transmitters, and eavesdropping devices across a broad frequency range from 10 kHz to 12 GHz.
Thermal Imaging Viewer (FLIR)
Reveals heat signatures emitted by active surveillance devices hidden in walls, furniture, ceilings, or personal effects.
Borescope / Endoscope
Inspects difficult-to-reach spaces like inside dashboards, crawlspaces, and wall cavities.
Infrared Viewer
Used to detect optical reflections from miniature or pinhole surveillance camera lenses.
Parabolic Microphones and RF Window Testing
Checks for directional voice surveillance from outside and confirms whether windows allow RF signal transmission from interior devices.
