What you really need to know about bugs and bug detectors

Bug detectors are specialized devices specifically designed to detect one type of signal. In other words, bug detectors find one specific type of bug. The good news is, there are some very common categories of signals to look for when doing a bug sweep to find bugs: transmitters, cameras, recorders and signals down existing wiring. When most people think of a bug, they think of wireless audio transmitters or phone taps. In reality, these are only two very specific types of electronic surveillance (bugs), albeit the two most common as well. Hidden cameras are rapidly becoming the third most common type of surveillance.
