The term environmental bug refers to every type of spy bugs, wires or spy cameras that can capture audios and/or videos, record them and transmit them remotely, in order to control people and environments in different situations.

In common knowledge, the use of bugs is often attributed to certain subjects, such as law enforcement officers, private investigators, intelligence and security operators. These tools can be nevertheless purchased by anyone. Yet, there are various types of environmental, economic or professional bugs on the market.

The cheap ones are easily available on internet and often with affordable prices for everyone. The professional bugs are instead miniaturized devices of high quality, used by professionals in environmental interceptions. They have different shapes and sizes and can be easily hidden even in very small objects, such as sockets, appliances, pens, USB sticks, lamps and wallets.

Types of spy bugs

• GSM wires: they permit, through a phone call, to listen and intercept the audio existing in the surrounding environment. These electronic devices are generally used in environmental interceptions and in control activities operated by surveillance and security systems, which work by exploiting the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), known and used for telecommunications worldwide. Through such devices, the listener can intercept conversations without limits in terms of distance and range. This is given to the fact that a SIM card is implemented in the bug and can be called from a mobile phone or from a landline.

• 3G / 4G bugs: they are special devices able to transmit audio and images at unlimited distances using the 3G or 4G data network. These particular bugs are ideal for those who want to view live images and videos at unlimited distances. They are often called audio and video bugs.

• Radio bugs (or radio-microphones, spy bugs) consist of a microphone connected to a micro radio-transmitter that records and sends the audio to a remotely-positioned receiver. For years, they have been the point of reference in the investigation sector, enabling the listener to intercept everything that happens in an environment within a distance of 150-500 meters between obstacles or 1-3 kilometers without obstacles. Radio bugs have been partly replaced by GSM bugs, but they retain advantages that make them still current in various circumstances, thanks also to their high audio quality.

• Digital bugs: they record and digitally transmit audios, ensuring perfect sound clarity. Transmitted data can be decrypted only by those in possession of the receiver, through a decryption key.  

•  Bugs with operating system: they are able to record and transmit information in a safe way, only in particular circumstances and dispersing the signal on a wider band.

How to Find Hidden Spy Cameras and Audio Bugs and how can we remove them?

Micro-bugs search and remediation involve seeking bugs, recorders, cameras, remote-controlled, switched-off or inactive equipment.

It is performed through physical inspections, instrumental checks of different nature and with electrical and electronic scans of each environment.

In relation to the different modern spy technologies, adequate countermeasures and appropriate equipment must be adopted. This is necessary in order to detect hidden, turned off or not working electronic devices, or unauthorized GPS devices which are often hidden in the car.

In this respect, Dogma owns the T.I.S.P. System® (TREATHS IDENTIFICATION and SECURITY PLAN), the innovative method that enables the interception of security threats and the identification of critical issues present in the places examined. Dogma is continuously engaged in professional training and in the acquisition of the most innovative technologies suitable to protect the integrity of its own customers.

In order to be able to offer this service, our technical team uses consolidated procedures and newest generation electronic instruments. The objective is to identify every bug present in meeting rooms, executive offices, cars or private environments, in order to guarantee the certainty of resuming communications in a secure manner.

Once bugs have been identified, timing and intervention methods are defined. At the end of each remediation, a technical report detailing all the results of the search for bugs is prepared. The Report also gives advice to avoid future criminal acts, such as the identification of at-risk environments and technologies, providing technical solutions to the problems therein highlighted.

When to request Environmental Bugs from Bugs.

Environmental remediations from bugs can be carried out both after the presence of bugs or wires has been detected, or in advance, when a suspicion exists of being under control or being intercepted.

The reasons that may lead individuals to perform such criminal offense in a business environment, range from unfair competition to general existing disputes among members, employees and collaborators. Economic issues, the desire to acquire customers or resources (technological or human) and corporate strategies also play a key role.

Our experience in this sector allows us to highlight some "indices of suspicion" such as:

- Unknown persons aware of the client's movements;

- Customer's confidential information reported by people who should not be aware of such information;

- Unusual sounds, noises or interferences detected on the telephone line or on the TV or audio system;

 - Unexplained variations in the physical structure of the premises or signs of unauthorized entry;
