Bugs & Camera Sweeps

Suspect Surveillance? Protect Your Privacy with Toronto’s Leading Counter-Surveillance Experts.

Who’s Watching You, and Why It Matters

Toronto is one of Canada’s busiest surveillance hotspots. Whether it’s a jealous ex, a controlling business partner, a nosy landlord, or even a corporate rival, covert surveillance is more common than you think, and it’s only getting easier to hide.

Modern bugs can be planted in smoke detectors, light switches, phone chargers, furniture, or even inside your vehicle, silently streaming audio or video without your knowledge.

Cases We’ve Handled Recently
  • A woman in North York found a listening device hidden inside a stuffed animal gifted by her ex.

  • A CEO in Oakville noticed strange network activity and discovered a compromised conference phone.

  • A mother in Etobicoke suspected someone was tracking her child custody meetings — and she was right.

Hidden surveillance can violate your boundaries, manipulate outcomes in custody disputes, or compromise your business. By the time you see it, the damage may already be done.

Residential and Commercial Bug Sweeps

Along with residential and commercial bug sweeps, we also offer telephone and wiretap bug sweep services to secure the privacy of your phone conversations. Our experts can identify and remove any surreptitious monitoring devices from your phone, including desktop phones, VoIP phones, PoE phones, fax machines, and copier machines. We also provide GPS bug sweep services to detect and remove any GPS tracking devices placed on personal belongings, vehicles, aircraft, or watercraft.

Common Signs You’re Being Watched

Not sure if you’re being spied on? Here are red flags our investigators look for:

🔺 Sudden battery drain or strange overheating on your devices

🔺 Unusual background noise or clicks during phone calls

🔺 Furniture or items moved slightly without explanation

🔺 New or unfamiliar objects gifted to you or left behind

🔺 Suspicious cars parked near your home or office repeatedly

If you’ve noticed even one of these, it’s worth investigating.

What Happens During a Sweep?

Our Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) experts conduct an in-depth physical and electronic inspection of your environment, including your home, office, car, phone, and wireless networks. We use military-grade spectrum analyzers and RF detectors to uncover even hidden, passive threats.

We check walls, ceilings, outlets, vents, furniture, and digital access points for signs of tampering. You’ll get a confidential report with photo evidence and clear next steps, plus help safely removing any discovered devices, and advice and support on how to move forward. Every sweep is discreet, thorough, and backed by decades of investigative experience.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

Every day you delay could mean more of your private life being monitored, recorded, or exploited. The longer hidden devices stay in place, the more damage they can cause. You may already be under surveillance without knowing it. These threats are real, and they’re becoming more common, especially in high-conflict domestic situations, custody battles, and corporate environments.

If something feels off, trust your instincts. Let our experts help you confirm it – and put a stop to it before it escalates.
