Counter-surveillance is the process of checking for signs that a person, vehicle, home, office, or other authorized property may be monitored or tracked without permission. Concerns may involve hidden cameras, listening devices, GPS trackers, AirTags, unfamiliar equipment, or repeated disclosure of private information.
Someone Appears to Know Your Location
Suspected Vehicle Tracking
Someone repeatedly seems to know where you are, which route you take, daily activities, or where you plan to be without being told.
You are concerned that a vehicle may contain an unfamiliar GPS tracker, AirTag, Bluetooth device, or other tracking equipment.
Private Information Becoming Known
Hidden Cameras & Audio Devices
Private conversations, plans, schedules, or other information become known to someone who should not have access to them.
You discover or suspect hidden cameras, listening devices, unfamiliar wiring, altered chargers, or other unexplained electronic equipment.
Tracker Alerts
Repeated AirTag or Bluetooth tracking alerts appear on your phone and cannot be explained by a device belonging to you or someone nearby.
Suspicious Vehicles or Appearances
Unfamiliar Hardware
An unfamiliar device, exposed wire, modified wall charger, or suspicious electronic item is discovered in living or workspace areas.
The same vehicle or individual repeatedly appears near your home, workplace, or other frequently visited locations.
How Tinsley Investigations Can Help
We evaluate your concerns and conduct focused, methodical counter-surveillance reviews designed to detect indications of intrusive equipment. The appropriate inspection depends on the property, vehicle, equipment, reported activity, and information available.
Authorized Property and Vehicle Checks
Review & Documentation
Practical Next Steps
We inspect authorized property and vehicles, performing physical sweeps alongside targeted technical evaluations. Our examinations include thorough hidden-camera inspection, listening-device inspection, and dedicated GPS tracker check procedures. This procedure is sometimes called a "bug sweep."
We review available information and document relevant devices, conditions, tracking alerts, photographs, or other findings. When warranted, findings may be provided through a case summary, timeline, or investigative report.
We explain what was found, what could not be established, and whether additional technical review, observation, legal guidance, or law-enforcement involvement may be appropriate. No inspection can guarantee that every monitoring method will be identified.
Discuss Your Concerns Confidentially
Tell us what you have observed, what evidence you already have, and which property or vehicle you are authorized to have inspected. We will explain whether a counter-surveillance inspection or another investigative step may be appropriate.
If you believe you are in immediate danger, call 911.
