Ever wonder how professional bug sweepers actually find wireless surveillance devices? Radio Frequency (RF) detection is like having a sixth sense for hidden bugs. At Above Limits Investigations, we use advanced RF detection methods to find wireless devices that others miss.

What is RF Detection?
Think of RF detection like fishing with a high-tech net. Instead of catching fish, we’re catching radio signals that shouldn’t be there:
- Wireless transmissions
- Bluetooth signals
- Cellular communications
- Wi-Fi broadcasts
- GPS signals
Why RF Detection Matters
Modern surveillance devices love using radio frequencies because:
- Wireless transmission is easy
- Signals can travel far
- Data transfers quickly
- Remote access is possible
- Battery life lasts longer
