Technical Surveillance Countermeasures Inspection Report

Date/Time/Location:

Report Prepared For:


Service Performed: TSCM Countermeasures Residence Debugging Program


Methodology:

Shield Investigations used a visual assessment of all enclosed areas of the home, technical sweep and scan of all interior areas of the home from basement, under porch storage area and garage to attic (mains ‘on’), technical sweep and scan of all interior areas of the home from basement, under porch and garage to attic (mains ‘off’) for the presence of covert and overt electronic eavesdropping and bugging devices


Equipment Used/Technical Data and Specifications:


Protect 1206i Bug and Digital Transmission Detector


The Protect 1206i uses a separate channel with a high, (2.4/5 GНz) frequency pre-selector to detect and locate Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with a much higher sensitivity. The unit also then processes the demodulated signal in order to identify which protocol has been detected. In addition the unit can detect all 'classical' bugs and inspect them for the presence of correlation by sending sound impulses as well as other digital transmissions at a standard distance (GSM, 3G, DECT, etc.) See Fig.1


RF detection Range (50 kHz - 12 GHz)

Extra high sensitivity to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Wi-Fi 5GHz and wireless video cameras

Frequency range:Micro-Pointer Antenna 2-12 GHz

Main antenna ANT1: 50-12000 MНz

Auxiliary antenna ANT2: 2.4 - 2.48 GНz, 4.9 - 5.875 GНz


T20 Portable RF Detector/Magnetic Field Probe/Camera Lens Finder


Frequency detection range: Up to 8 GHz


RF signals detector

Infrared scanner

Magnetic field detection

1.2G/2.4G/5.8G wireless cameras

stealth miniature cameras

wireless audio bugs

body wire wiretapping

phone taps

cellular audio/video bugging devices


** Most of the more commonly available bug transmitters from cameras to GPS trackers operate in the RF range of 1MHz-8GHz



Results were negative for the presence of electronic eavesdropping devices located within the physical presence of the home. In reaching out conclusion, Shield Investigations inspection relied in equal proportion on the extensive physical search of the home and contents and the the application of appropriate surveillance detection equipment.


The ‘bug sweep’ was conducted according to best practices and was performed in the same manner as we have done in past inspections in which concealed monitoring and recording devices have been discovered. The physical search was thorough and exhaustive and we are confident in our conclusion that the home is not being monitored by devices that operate within the parameters of the detection equipment employed for the job.


Main Power “on”


The sweep and scan operation was conducted in the following manner. The Shield Inspection team began with a physical and electronic sweep deep scan of the basement of the dwelling and all contents there-in, working in a counter clockwise direction beginning at the base of the stairs, to the under porch area, garage then around to the main service panel area. The search was performed with the main power on. Scanning equipment turned up no hits for concealed or non-concealed eavesdropping devices. The Team then proceeded to the top floor and beginning with the the attic area followed a clockwise sweep and scan from the bathroom, through both bedrooms, closets, the open area; scanning floors, walls and ceilings, lighting fixtures, boxes, furniture, electronics, drawers, mirrors, light fixtures, decorations, windows, window treatments, etc. The Shield Inspection Team continued with a deep scanning of the stairway walls and ceiling. The First Floor sweep and scan continued with the living room, office including electronics, TV, stereo components, remote controls, all battery and plug in devices, artwork, toys, rugs, chairs, other furniture, windows, light fixtures, floors, walls, ceilings and . The physical and electronic sweep was then performed of the adjacent dining room and adjoining room, bathroom including the walls, floors ceilings, windows and window treatments in the same manner as was conducted in the other rooms. The Team then scanned the kitchen and adjoining enclosed porch and again included cabinets, appliances, walls, floors ceilings, light fixtures, electronic devices, armoire, artwork, decorations, boxes and other spaces. The team then initiated conducted a perimeter inspection and electronic sweep and scan of the exterior of the home from foundation to and up 10 vertical meters of the siding.


Main Power “off”


The Shield Investigations conducted a repeat of the initial sweep and scan operation with the mains turned OFF.


The pictures that follow show the areas where the scan and sweep spent the most time checking during the TSCM procedure. There were some areas that required more focus and ‘deeper penetration’ due to the mass of the objects or piles, for example. The report concludes with the pictures which have been arranged in order they were cleared by the Shield Inspection team.
