Handheld portable mobile phone detector - Comms-Tek Scout

Introducing Scout, the latest in compact, covert cellphone detection technology. Designed for use in secure environments such as prisons, nuclear plants, government facilities, and more, Scout discreetly detects all mobile phone activity, including 4G and 5G data transmissions, across every band from 600MHz to 4GHz.

Wide band detection

The Comms-Tek Scout can detect all cellphone frequency bands (600MHz-4GHz), including 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G. Its broad detection range makes it an all-in-one powerful solution for mobile phone detection. Instead of assembling a network of one-band detectors, a user can reliably detect all frequencies with one device.

In facilities like prisons, government offices, financial institutions, or military installations where unauthorized communication is a risk, Scout provides comprehensive monitoring. Whether it's an inmate's contraband or a worker's unathorised device, Scout ensures that any mobile phone — regardless of the type of network it's using — can be detected. From older 2G devices to the latest 5G smartphones, nothing escapes detection.

Covert operation

The Comms-Tek Scout is small enough to fit into a pocket, which means no additional discomfort or fatigue for the user. The device makes use of discreet alerts via vibration, audio, or visual feedback, which in turn enable inconspicous inspections and fast reactions to any illicit activities.

When discretion is critical, such as during covert anti-terrorism operations, public gatherings, diplomatic settings or environments where tipping off potential offenders could jeopardize security (e.g., during searches in correctional facilities), Scout allows security personnel to work without drawing attention. Alerts can be set to vibration so that the operator knows when a phone is near without anyone else becoming aware.

Intuitive interface

The device comes with an easy-to-use, full-color touch screen interface with configurable settings like sensitivity, brightness, audio, and vibration alerts. This user-friendly interface ensures that even personnel without technical expertise can operate the device effectively. The touch screen makes it easy to adjust settings on the fly, depending on the environment, whether it's indoors or outdoors, at night or in bright sunlight.

A security guard patrolling a restricted area, such as a secure training center or nuclear power plant, can quickly adjust Scout's settings based on varying conditions (like changing from indoors to outdoors). The interface allows them to focus more on the task at hand than on complicated device operations.

Long battery life

The Scout can operate for 6 hours on a single charge and can be quickly recharged in 3 hours. It also comes with mains-powered operation capability to ensure continuous use.

In extended operations, such as night shifts at correctional facilities or full-day events like large conferences, Scout can operate throughout the event without frequent recharging. The option to use mains power for continuous operation means you won't be left vulnerable to mobile phone use during critical periods.

Extended detection range

The device detects mobile phones up to 100 meters away outdoors and 50 meters indoors, with performance dependent on signal strength and environmental conditions. The extended range allows Scout to be highly effective in both confined spaces and wide-open environments. Whether you're scanning a single room, multiple rooms, or even outdoor spaces such as parking lots or sports facilities, Scout has you covered. Scout is versatile for different operational needs, including perimeter security or room sweeps.

During a security sweep of a conference center before a corporate meeting with sensitive discussions, Scout can detect phones even in far corners or hidden in attendees' bags, ensuring total coverage.

Portable and lightweight

The Scout weighs only 185 grams and comes in a compact design (80mm x 120mm x 29mm).

Designed with portability in mind, Scout can be carried comfortably by security personnel for hours without causing fatigue. It is ideal for guards who need to remain mobile while conducting sweeps or during extended patrols of large or complex facilities. Its compact size also means it can be concealed, making it difficult for offenders to detect.
