What is Electronic Surveillance (Eavesdropping)?
PDF Print E-mail

Electronic Eavesdropping has many names, i.e., Technical Surveillance, Electronic Espionage, Industrial Espionage, Electronic Surveillance, and Audio Surveillance.

There are various ways to Eavesdrop.

One common way is concealing a listening devise and/or recording devise (Bug), in an area that can transmit speech frequencies, or graphic video pictures to a remote location and/or computer.

Another way is using a laser beam to point a laser microphone at a window. A laser microphone can be located a considerable distance away (half mile), and is capable of transmitting the vibrations of human speech from the glass to a computer at a remote location, and processed them into intelligible conversation.

"Bugs" or "listening devices" have become so technically sophisticated, that Locating, or "sweeping" for them, is very difficult, if not impossible.

We at American Sound Masking have state-of-the-arts products that can stop bugs or laser microphones from accomplishing their objective, to listen and record. We secure the most common breach points, such as windows, HVAC ducts, sprinkler pipe, conduit, walls, doors, under raised floors, and ceiling plenums.
