Features
The Protect 1207i is a new measuring device which can be successfully used
by engineers or counter surveillance specialists as a reliable tool for tracing
different digital transmissions such as GSM, Bluetooth, etc. New methods of
'listening and watching' with the help of modern technologies has become
widely spread in our times. For example, a tiny GSM transmitter is accessible
at practically any internet spy-shop for only 100-200 USD and can listen to all
your conversations in the office or at home. And perhaps more importantly the
Bluetooth protocol has been specially designed to transmit voices or conversations with high quality at a distance of up to 100 m - it can easily be used for
bugging.
Portable device for the inspection and location of wireless sources

cannot detect such weak and non-continuous signals as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or
Wi-Max. Even more powerful signals like GSM-1800 are also hard to detect
because of their low sensitivity at higher frequency ranges.
The only way to reliably detect wireless protocols is to use pre-selector chips
(saw filters) which attenuate all other signals except the desired ones. This is
the method implemented in the Protect 1207i which has 6 channels for
different frequency ranges and can simultaneously detect 6 different kinds of
transmissions at a distance much greater than any common RF detectors.
Such qualities make the Protect 1207i a very desirable and reliable device
during counter surveillance sweeps.
It is recommended that all sources of RF waves are detected in the premises
during a search. It is necessary to determine the nature of every source whether it is a regular transmitter like a Wi-Fi access point or it has an unclear
origin and thus should be inspected and probably removed.
The following are the most probable ways of eavesdropping with the use of
wireless protocols:
Ways of eavesdropping
A small box with a SIM-card insert. Can transmit acoustics or conversations from a landline telephone to a pre-programmed number via
the GSM network. Can be controlled form a pre-programmed number
with the help of SMS or programmed from a PC. It is powered from a
GSM/WCDMA/3G/LTE
Has a built-in video camera and can transmit captured still images,
video and acoustics. It is usually used for security observation but
can also be used for illegal bugging. On the GSM network still
images can be transferred with the use of GPRS/EDGE, but 3G
A cellular telephone converted into a 'spy phone' with the help of special, illegally installed software. The software allows the illegal listener
to activate the microphone of the telephone and transmit acoustics to
a pre-programmed number. The control of this device is accompli-
The sensitivity of a common RF detector (bug detector) is spread along a wide
frequency range, usually 3, or even 6-7 GHz. This means the common detector

shed in a similar way - by SMS or from a PC.

A small device which is only limited in its size by the desired battery
source. If provided with an external power source these devices can
achieve a size of 1x1x0.5 cm. They are hardly detectable due to:
1) low power, non-constant transmissions at relatively high frequency
ranges; 2) the possibility of remote deactivation thanks to the duplex
possibility of Bluetooth; 3) The possibility of gathering information, holding it and then transferring it by remote inquiry during night time -this
means that no radio waves are sent during working hours 4) its small
size.
A small device which can be installed in a target's car or hidden
among their items for personal tracing. Detects its own coordinates
with the help of a built-in GPS receiver and then transmits them with
the help of the GSM/3G network or can record a trace into its built-in
memory. Most of these devices also have a built-in microphone and
allow the operator to listen to acoustics in addition to knowing its
Bluetooth
Spy phone
Similar to GSM, the acoustics around the telephone can be picked up
and transmitted via Bluetooth if the telephone has special 'spy' software pre-installed.
Wi-Fi/Wi-Max
Wi-Fi bugging device
Can transmit acoustics or high quality videos using the standard
wireless network. The information can then be easily forwarded onto
the Internet and monitored from anywhere in the world. Controlling
the device can also be done via the Internet.
Wi-Max bugging device
In addition to the possibilities provided by Wi-Fi, Wi-Max gives direct
Internet access and a longer coverage distance. This can give the
eavesdroppers practically unlimited possibilities in monitoring and
control, including transmitting of acoustics, real-time video, remote
controlling, collecting information with a fast transfer time, etc.
Spy phone
Again, having pre-installed 'spy' software in a mobile phone with
Wi-Fi (i.e. a Smartphone) allows the eavesdropper to listen to the
surrounding acoustics in real-time or they can initiate the downloading of pre-captured data.

Bluetooth bugging device
The Protect 1207i has been designed to detect all of the mentioned kinds of
bugging devices.
