ProFact provides TSCM and hidden camera detection for homes, offices and vehicles across Australia. A technical surveillance counter-measures sweep looks for covert listening devices, hidden cameras and other unauthorised monitoring equipment. Licensed investigators use RF spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection and physical inspection, then report in writing. Sweeps are scheduled discreetly and suited to board review or legal instruction.
Hidden camera detection covers concealed cameras in rooms, fixtures, furnishings and vehicles. A camera may be transmitting, wired, or dormant, so the sweep combines physical inspection with RF spectrum analysis and non-linear junction detection. Findings are photographed and written up so the instructing party can see what was checked and what was found.
A bug sweep is not only about finding hardware. ProFact reports findings in plain language so instructing parties understand what was detected, what was cleared, and what steps may reduce ongoing monitoring risk. ProFact does not provide legal advice, but reporting is structured for board review or solicitor instruction where required.
ProFact conducts TSCM sweeps for boardrooms, executive offices, residences, vehicles, meeting venues and landline environments across Australia. Work can be scheduled discreetly outside business hours where appropriate, with scope agreed in writing before deployment begins.
Surveillance technology has become cheaper, smaller and easier to deploy. That raises real risk for boardrooms, executive offices, residences, vehicles and personal devices. Whether you need to protect commercial information, personal privacy or sensitive negotiations, a professional TSCM bug sweep is the most direct way to establish whether a space or device may be compromised.
ProFact is a licensed private investigation practice operating nationally since 2012. TSCM briefs are reviewed by a senior investigator before any sweep is scheduled, conducted discreetly under agreed written terms, and reported in a form suited to board review or legal instruction.
ProFact TSCM sweeps extend beyond basic listening-device searches. Our technical operatives use calibrated RF, non-linear junction and physical inspection protocols, with awareness of modern risks such as phone spyware and covert tracking. Typical work includes:
ProFact corporate TSCM work goes beyond locating listening devices. Briefs can include a structured security risk assessment, practical recommendations to reduce eavesdropping exposure, and reporting suited to board or executive review under senior investigator oversight.
After a sweep, ProFact can outline environmental vulnerabilities and practical steps to reduce the chance of future monitoring, from room layout and fixture review to communications hygiene suited to your operating context.
It is not uncommon to find that monitoring risk sits outside a classic listening device, such as phone spyware, compromised credentials, insecure conferencing or poor device handling. ProFact reports what the sweep and assessment establish so decision-makers can respond appropriately.
Some matters involve more than one form of surveillance pressure. ProFact can scope TSCM alongside related investigation capability where required, so corporate clients receive a clearer picture of technical and behavioural exposure rather than a single-device search alone.
If your business is moving to a new site or fitting out fresh premises, ProFact can advise on proportionate TSCM and environmental controls before occupancy, helping reduce corporate espionage and eavesdropping risk at the new location.
Listening devices are cheaper and easier to deploy than most people realise
Electronic eavesdropping risk has grown as inexpensive surveillance tools became easy to buy online or from everyday electronics retailers. What once required specialist access is now within reach of ordinary users, which raises the stakes for boardrooms, executive offices, residences and sensitive meetings.
Smartphones are among the most accessible monitoring tools available. They can function as hidden cameras, record and store audio or video for extended periods, and are easily carried into a boardroom or meeting space without drawing attention.
Across years of residential and corporate sweeps, ProFact has identified monitoring methods clients had not considered, including devices concealed in smoke detectors, fixtures, furnishings and everyday electronics. TSCM methods continue to evolve, which is why calibrated sweeps matter.
When confidentiality matters, ProFact conducts discreet TSCM sweeps under senior investigator oversight, with written reporting suited to executive review or legal instruction.
If you believe your phones or premises are being monitored without authority, be careful how you respond. The safest place to discuss the problem is away from the location you suspect, and not over landline telephones that may be compromised.
In the first instance, do not discuss your suspicion inside the area you believe is being unlawfully monitored. Conversations, messages and planning in that space may be captured before help arrives. If business premises appear compromised, your home, vehicle or personal devices may also be at risk.
The most secure way to reach ProFact is by mobile phone or email that is not connected to the premises you suspect are bugged. If you call from a mobile, move away from the suspected location and avoid discussing sensitive matters inside a vehicle that may also be monitored. You can contact ProFact securely online or call 1300 464 810 once you are in a safer location.
Spyware can be installed quickly on computers and phones, and it is one of the fastest-growing eavesdropping risks. If device compromise is suspected, that may require separate computer and mobile forensics work in addition to a physical TSCM sweep.
Bug sweep work often needs discretion outside normal business hours. ProFact can attend by arrangement 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with scope confirmed by a senior investigator before deployment begins.

Hidden camera detection is the part of a TSCM sweep that looks for concealed cameras in a home, office, meeting room or vehicle. A camera may be wired, wireless, or switched off during the visit, so ProFact combines physical inspection with RF spectrum analysis and non-linear junction detection. Anything found is photographed and set out in a written report. The sweep is scoped by a senior investigator before attendance.
TSCM means technical surveillance counter-measures. A TSCM sweep is a structured search for covert listening devices, hidden cameras and other unauthorised monitoring equipment. ProFact uses calibrated RF spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection and physical inspection to assess boardrooms, executive offices, residences, vehicles and related environments. Each brief is reviewed by a senior investigator before deployment.
TSCM sweeps can help identify transmitting or dormant listening devices, concealed recorders, some tracking risks and environmental vulnerabilities that may support eavesdropping. ProFact also assesses related risks such as phone spyware and insecure communications where scope permits. Device-level forensic examination is briefed separately under computer and mobile forensics when required.
Fees depend on premises size, number of rooms or vehicles, after-hours attendance, travel and reporting depth. A vehicle sweep is scoped differently from a full executive office or multi-room residence assessment. ProFact provides a confidential scoping discussion and written quotation before work begins. See our PI cost calculator for indicative TSCM guides, then submit your brief for a scoped quote.
Yes. ProFact conducts TSCM sweeps for residences, corporate premises, boardrooms, executive offices, meeting venues and vehicles across Australia. Work is scheduled discreetly where appropriate, including outside normal business hours, with scope agreed in writing before attendance.
Do not discuss your suspicion inside the location you believe is compromised, and avoid using landline phones that may be monitored. Contact ProFact from a mobile or email not connected to the suspected premises, ideally once you are away from that environment. See what to do if you believe you have been bugged on this page for immediate precautions and secure contact methods.
Yes. Confidentiality is central to TSCM work. ProFact does not disclose client identity, brief details or sweep findings to third parties without your instruction or a valid legal requirement to do so. Reports are released only to instructed parties unless scope or law requires otherwise. For broader licensing topics, see our Australian private investigator FAQ.
Consultations are confidential. We will scope your premises or vehicles, confirm bug sweep capability and provide written terms before any TSCM deployment begins.
