There are many types of bug devices that watch and listen to people and some can even track your movements. Those at risk of being bugged are most often but not limited to major business or corporate owners and knowledgeable employees. With modern improvements to bugging devices it is good to keep up to date and to be aware of what is used to gain your secrets. Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami, FL will share of the common modern bug devices used.

GSM Bugs

One of the most highly used and prolific listening devices used today are GSM bugs. GSM bugs work much like a cell phone. A perpetrator can slyly dial in and taciturnly listen in on conversations from anywhere around the globe. GSM bugs are a small black box that can be easily hidden in a room. GSM bugging devices are also small enough to be hidden in a power strip adapter, in a computer mouse, or even a phone charger. GSM bugs are also easily obtained making them one of the most commonly used listening device bugs used today.

Small Recording Devices

There are many different types of miniature voice recording devices that you can get online. One popular device is the Edic-mini recording device. An edic-mini recorder is disguised as a USB driver or even a credit card which makes these devices very discreet. These miniature recording devices are meant to hide in plain sight and pass undetected. However, these devices have a short battery life which means these are not going to be used as a long term bugging device.

Mobile / Cell Phone

One of the most commonly used listening devices that is simply everywhere are cell phones. Cell phones can be put on silent mode where they won’t even vibrate or make any noise. As cell phones have these discreet settings it can be hard to detect a call was made in or out during a conference, meeting, or private conversation. Mobile phones are typically used by a perpetrator and someone within the company who has motives to collect company secrets. Sometimes cell phones can also be hacked and be remotely switched on anywhere from around the world. However, there must be some pretty high stakes going on for this level of bugging.

Radio Frequency Transmitter (RF)

Somewhat an older method of bugging that can be used today, but is not too common, is radio frequency transmitters. Radio frequency involves a radio transmitter being placed in a room and a receiver is used to listen in on a conversation. The transmitter device itself is very small and can be hidden anywhere in the room. The radio frequencies that are being given off by the device can easily be captured. Radio frequency devices are still used today as they are also cheap, which makes them still a modern bugging device.
