What is Car Bug Sweep or debugging?
Car Bug sweep is a specialized service designed to detect and eliminate any hidden surveillance devices, such as bugs, GPS trackers, or other eavesdropping equipment, planted inside the car or its undercarriage. These devices can be installed by individuals or organizations to gather information, track movements, or even steal sensitive data. A thorough bug sweep is essential to ensure the vehicle is free from any unwanted technical surveillance.
The Importance of Car Bug Sweep Services
Use of Artificial Intelligence has made the job of remote surveillance and eavesdropping extremely easy for malicious entities to track their targets, listen to their conversations in real time or record them to be retrieved at a later convenient time. Their targets are vulnerable at their offices, homes and even cars where they least suspect to be under technical surveillance.
Cars are the least suspected to be under surveillance because they are mostly under move and are mostly used for conveyance of persons and materials. However smart people changed their modus operandi by carrying out confidential conversations be with another person or on cell phone while travelling in the car. Soon the eavesdroppers realized this and changed their tactics by bugging the cars with electronic listening, recording and tracking devices. For them it was an easy task to bug the cars as they remain parked mostly in the parking lots or the streets, totally unattended.

How Does a Car debugging or a Bug Sweep Work?
A typical Car TSCM/Bug sweep involves a thorough examination of the vehicle, including:
- Visual Inspection: A trained technician will visually inspect the vehicle, including the interior, exterior, undercarriage, chassis and engine compartment, to identify any suspicious devices or wires.
- Spectrum Analysis: A real time spectrum analyzer run through Kestrel Professional TSCM Software is used to detect any radio frequency (RF) signals emanating from the car, which will indicate the presence of a bug or GPS tracker planted in the car
- Physical Search: The technician will conduct a physical search of the vehicle, including the seats, dashboard, and trunk, to locate any hidden devices. This is usually carried out by a very sensitive thermal imager which detects heat footprints of electronic bugs howsoever miniscule they may be.
