Overview
Home is where you should feel safest
Suspecting that you are being listened to at home is exhausting. It affects sleep, relationships and decisions. A home sweep is a technical check, but its real purpose is to give your suspicion an answer. If we find something, we plan the next steps with you. If we don’t, we show you exactly which areas were inspected and how.
Many home sweeps come up during separation, divorce or family conflict. In those situations your safety matters more than the technology. If the person you suspect still has access to your home, we plan communication and the visit around that.
Where devices are hidden in a home
Homes hold more personal belongings and less order than offices, which means more places to hide something. We pay particular attention to:
- Sockets, power strips, USB charging adapters and extension leads
- Smoke detectors, ceiling fittings and lamp bodies
- Clocks, clock radios, frames, toys and decor
- TV units, the area around the router and set-top box, smart speakers
- The backs and undersides of furniture in bedrooms, living rooms and studies
- Bathroom vents and the electrical panel
In private spaces such as bedrooms and bathrooms we treat hidden cameras as a separate question; see our hidden camera detection service.
Methods
An RF spectrum analyzer finds live transmitters, Wi-Fi cameras and cellular audio devices while they transmit. An NLJD flags objects containing circuitry even when switched off; homes are full of innocent electronics, so every response is verified. A thermal camera shows working circuits and an optical lens finder shows camera lenses. The final word always belongs to physical inspection.
Smart devices matter too. Speakers, baby monitors, doorbells and security cameras can be open to someone else through a compromised account. During the visit we review with you which accounts they are linked to.
Before the visit
- Don’t mention the sweep at home, on the phone, or near smart speakers.
- Contact us from a device you don’t suspect.
- Share the visit date only with people who genuinely need to know.
- If you think you’ve found a device, don’t touch or move it; photograph it and leave it in place.
- Don’t tidy up or rearrange beforehand. The normal state of the home tells us more.
If a device is found
Removing it immediately can alert whoever placed it and reduce its value as evidence. We document it in place first, then consider with you what is safest: speaking to a lawyer, going to the police, or leaving it in place for now. Those decisions are yours.
If you feel you are in immediate danger, don’t wait. Call 112.
Report
You receive a written report of the rooms inspected, the methods used and the findings, with personal recommendations on keys and locks, your home network and smart device accounts. We are based in Ankara and visit homes anywhere in Turkey.
01
Warning signs
- Things you only discussed at home are known to others
- An adapter, charger or object at home that nobody can account for
- Socket covers, smoke detectors or ceiling fittings that have been moved
- Signs that someone entered with a key while you were away
- A former partner or acquaintance knows details of your home life they could not otherwise know
02
Process
Secure first contact
We talk outside the home, from a device you don't suspect, about your concern, the layout and a suitable visit time.
Visit plan
Based on room count, furniture density and priority areas, we plan the methods and duration and give you a quote.
RF and thermal survey
We account for the transmitters in the home and look for unexplained signals and heat from working electronics.
NLJD and optical sweep
Walls, furniture, decor and electronics are swept for circuitry and camera lenses.
Physical inspection
Sockets, light fittings, smoke detectors and suspicious objects are opened or inspected by endoscope.
Outcome and report
We walk you through the findings on site, then deliver a written report with security recommendations.
03
What you receive
- Written report of the rooms inspected, methods used and findings
- In-place photographs and documentation of any finding
- Personal recommendations on home network, smart devices and key control
04
Limitations
- A sweep verifies the home at the time of the sweep; it does not cover a device planted later.
- Spyware on your phone is checked through a separate phone inspection, not a home sweep.
- Points embedded in walls are accessed only with your approval and without breaking in.
- Observation or recording from neighbouring flats or outside the building is outside the scope of a home sweep.
05
Questions
Will the neighbours know what the visit is for?
We arrive in plain clothes and carry equipment discreetly. The visit looks like any ordinary technical service call.
How long does a home sweep take?
It depends on size, number of rooms and how much is in them. A typical flat often takes a few hours; large detached houses take longer. We give you a realistic estimate after the first conversation.
Do you remove a device straight away if you find one?
No. We document it in place first, then consider with you who may have placed it and what is safest for you. Where appropriate we recommend legal advice or reporting to the police.
Can you check my phone as well?
Yes, as a separate service that requires the device in hand. We can schedule it during the same visit.
