The best anti-bugs for 2020

Scientific and technological progress has made it possible to reduce the dimensions of modern microprocessors to a minimum. Thanks to this, the functionality of the devices has increased, and the compactness has reached frightening characteristics. Add a bug, a video camera costs nothing now. Especially considering the fact that almost everyone can order such devices online. The only way to prevent the leakage of personal, commercial information, and not to become a victim of dirty blackmail, is to use bug detectors. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you an overview of the best anti-bugs for 2020.

What is a "bug", and in what cases are they dangerous?

It is very difficult to give a clear definition of which technique is considered spyware, therefore it is prohibited to purchase by an individual, and which one can be used. For example, smartwatches of a standard configuration with a voice recording function are not considered as such. But if they have a built-in camera, then there will be problems with the legislation. But various pens, flash drives, lighters with a listening function, of which there are a lot in online stores, mainly of Chinese origin, are definitely considered prohibited!

It is very easy to become a victim of such an "insect"; they can be used by a jealous second half, an employer who does not trust a nanny or a tutor, a work colleague who wants to get your client base. Unscrupulous landlords are also spying on their tenants.

Is it possible to independently search for bugs, or will the intervention of specialists be required? It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally. It all depends on the type of gadget that is installed in your home or office space. The simplest, audio, video "bugs" are easy to detect on your own by purchasing low-cost detectors to search for eavesdropping devices. But more complex systems will be found only by pros, and it is not logical to buy expensive equipment in order to use it once. Moreover, when it comes to a legal entity, the company's internal security system should deal with financial data.

What systems are there for detecting wiretaps?

First of all, let's figure out what a "bug" is, how it works. In fact, any spy system is a transmitter that broadcasts information, sound, video, your location to a receiver outside the room. This transmitter can be equipped, depending on the target pursued, with a microphone, video camera or GPS sensor. The receiving device is a personal computer, a dedicated successor, or a smartphone. A GSM unit is used to transmit radio signals over a distance. The principle of operation of the anti-bug is simple, to determine the location of the bug, the anti-wire scan scans the space of a room, a car in order to detect a radio signal. Such systems are called - active, their advantages:

1. Low price;
2. Easy to set up, work;
3. Availability of purchase.

The disadvantages include low noise immunity, limited performance, and most importantly, they cannot cope with more professional "bugs", since their characteristics are limited. After all, they often mistake the radiation of household appliances for a wiretap signal. In addition, budget bugs work constantly, so they are relatively easy to spot. But models for professional use transmit the signal in a random way, they constantly change the frequency, broadcast time. Others even turn on at a given time or on a signal from the outside, transmitting a packet of information immediately. It is almost impossible to detect them by simple means.

Professional "wiretapping" are able to detect - nonlinear detectors, they scan the space in order to detect the action of any semiconductor device. Naturally, such anti-bugs are expensive, and handling them requires certain skills. Often, such systems are not sold individually; a complete set with additional devices is required. And the most sophisticated systems allow and detect whether the room is being monitored from the outside, for example, by removing sound microwaves from a window glass. The question of which company is better to purchase such a detector will also be important. The advice of security specialists is from European, Russian and American brands, but Asian manufacturers are best not to be trusted.

What to do if you suspect espionage?

So, you suspect that you are being spied on, overheard and decided to buy anti-bugs. Having solved the problem of how to choose where to buy such a system, another one immediately arises, how to use it correctly. First of all, you should split the room where, in your opinion, there is wiretapping into sectors. Mark each sector with a green and a red zone. Red - there can be no harmful "insect". These are places like:

• TV;
• Bath;
• Sink;
• Pantry;
• The corridor.

In these zones, a person conducts important conversations least of all, and extraneous noise (from the TV) will only interfere with the reception of important information. Green zones are directly related to information of interest to attackers. What to look for? First of all, these are:

• Bedroom bed, seat opposite her;
• Smartphone, tablet, laptop;
• Landline telephone, table under it;
• Paintings, posters on the walls;
• Sockets, switches;
• Doorways;
• Mirrors in the corridor, bedrooms.

These places are carefully bypassed by the radar, moving along the surface with the device, simulating the movements of painting the wall, from top to bottom. But before using the radar, all electrical devices must be turned off. Especially those that can emit signals, phone, tablet, laptop; sockets, switches open, removing the top panels. But hidden video cameras, if they are equipped with infrared illumination, are able to find not only a detector with an optical camera detector, but even a simple smartphone using a selfie camera. Turn off the light by pressing any key on the remote control, for example, from the TV, direct the LED at the selfie camera. If the radiation of the remote control is visible on the monitor of a smartphone, tablet, then with its help, you can independently examine the premises for hidden cameras. But remember, guaranteed protection against eavesdropping can only be provided by a specialized company, and when identifying information leakage, it is best to contact it.

Hunter Professional-3

A system that has earned the recommendation of experts who advise it to those who want to seriously, comprehensively engage in their security. After all, all the systems listed above, one way or another, could be attributed to passive safety systems. That is, both inexpensive and premium models only detect bugs. But what to do if you spotted "harmful insects" not at home, but during negotiations on someone else's territory? Then Hunter Professional-3 with the "jammer" function will come to the rescue. That is, after determining the presence of an eavesdropping device, a radio beacon, which "Hunter - 3" will silently report with LED signaling, you can suppress the broadcast frequency of the bug. At the request of the user, suppression of jamming is carried out completely or specifically any frequency. In addition, the system allows you to select the sensitivity of the setting, which is important for a thorough, detailed scanning of the room.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

• Not detected.

Circuit

A smaller version of the previous model. It has practically the same characteristics, but specializes more in low-power, therefore, very difficult to recognize espionage systems. In addition to the possibility of finding the transmitter of information, the Contour determines the type of broadcast modulation. The device is equipped with an informative liquid crystal display that displays the radio frequency environment of the room with the possibility of its further recording. That is, the user can independently determine whether there have been any recent changes in the radio frequency background and, based on this data, start searching for bugs. The description of the contour will not be complete, if not to mention the possibility, albeit limited, of jamming.
