It is not unheard of for a landlord or building maintenance worker to have been caught installing a hidden camera or listening device in an apartment!
The only way you will ever know for sure if you are being watched or listened to is to have your apartment physically and electronically inspected by a trained experienced Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) technician. It takes very expensive bug detection equipment and a skilled technician to find hidden cameras and audio recording devices that are either on or off, wired or wireless.
More important, after a device is located, what we do next. Most technicians only handle one phrase of a TSCM Sweep and do NOT have the experience or resources to complete the mission. At JL & ASSOCIATES, LTD. we can then attempt to conduct an investigation in identifying those suspected of eavesdropping.
