Counter Surveillance Services

BHE Security is a leader in the field of Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM), Bug Sweeps, Wiretap Detection, Surveillance Technology, Communications Security (COMSEC), and Technical Security.

TSCM also known as "debugging," is both an electronic and physical inspection of an item or location such as a briefcase, cell phone, automobile, office, home, aircraft, boat, etc.

TSCM is an effective way to locate and identify possible Covert Surveillance Devices (Bugs) and/or technical security weaknesses. BHE Security's complete TSCM Inspection will also assess weaknesses of all locks, alarms, and other systems of physical and electronic security.

TSCM involves conducting an exhaustive and meticulous physical inspection using electronic surveillance for any and all existing covert cameras, telephone transmitters and/or room bugs, and to identify and eliminate all devices that pose a possible security breach in client operations and compromise sensitive personal and/or business secrets.

We at BHE Security understand that every situation is unique, so we customize our services to address your specific circumstances. A complete survey of your facilities should be conducted, creating a blueprint to use as a reference for future "sweeps." For instance, precise voltage readings can be recorded and used later for comparison during inspections. This same methodology can be applied in all facet of the detection process. We understand the importance of being discrete and flexible, since conducting these searches may be easier to accomplish done during the weekend or in the evening, or right before a big board meeting for obvious reasons.

BHE Security uses Electronic Bug Sweeps to detect and eliminate electronic eavesdropping and surveillance devices. We can turn your home or office into an impenetrable fortress with proven methods to detect Bugs, Wiretaps and Hidden Cameras.

We eliminate telephone line bugs and wiretaps with wiretap detection sweeps, computer data line taps and bugs, especially telecommunications security line sweeps. We will conduct a thorough bug sweep of your conference room or home, using the latest electronic room bug sweeping and electronic detection. Our superior equipment can detect electronic espionage; our unmatched experience and knowledge can identify and pinpoint the location of bugging devices effectively.

Help protect your company and your family from invasions and thefts caused by surveillance wiretaps. Many corporate trade secrets are compromised and executives have been kidnapped for ransom as a result of inside information gained by wiretaps and bugs. Recently, cases of computer identity theft and altered computer records have been perpetrated by criminals who gained access to telephone data lines using electronic bugs.

All wiring and telephone fixtures will be disassembled and analyzed. Even when the counter measures process is complete, we will pursue any possible overlooked angles. For instance, there may be a new discovery about how to retrieve voice mail messages from your particular answering machine. We would inform you of these lapses immediately, so you can act appropriately.

Not many other companies—none that we know of—provide this service. Those individuals who use wiretaps, bugs and related devices deploy a number of techniques and tools. We are knowledgeable in these advances in electronic interception techniques. This includes detailed examination of your physical security equipment and perimeter.

If your locks are easily bypassed, then even an amateur, such as a stalker, can place a recording device. Everything will be physically inspected up to a reasonable point. You may not want us tearing down your walls even if you suspect that a camera has been placed there, although that has been done before. We are prepared to go to extreme lengths to ensure your privacy and safety.

We do not follow a systematic protocol; an initial consultation with a Counter Surveillance Specialist can better determine your immediate needs and present an ideal solution. We can also advise you on equipment, the technology involved and its implementation.

BHE Security provides expert technical, analytical and research capability for the detection, nullification, and isolation of eavesdropping devices, technical surveillance infiltration, technical surveillance hazards, and physical security weaknesses.

Our Technical Surveillance Counter Measures Sweep includes:

  • Total RF (Radio Frequency) Spectrum Sweep - 200 Hz to 12 GHz
  • Carrier Current Sweep - 20 KHz to 400 KHz
  • Infrared Transmission Sweep
  • Laser Beam Transmission Sweep
  • Microwave (X-Band) Transmission Sweep
  • Microphone Sweep
  • Radio Transmitter Sweep
  • Video Transmitter Sweep
  • Video Recorder Sweep
  • Audio Recorder Sweep
  • Acoustic Leakage Inspection
  • Phone Tap Sweep

Detection: Measures taken to detect technical surveillance devices, technical security hazards, and physical security weaknesses that allow the technical or physical breach of a facility.

Nullification: The process of neutralizing or negating technical devices employed by making the placement of such devices more difficult. This includes ensuring that a room is protected with adequate physical construction and security measures thereby making the placement or use of illegal listening devices ineffective.

Isolation: A method to deter the use of eavesdropping devices by establishing special security areas, for the conduct of classified or sensitive activities.
