Multi-Channel Bug Detector Protect 1207i

The Protect 1207i is accurate and reliable multi-channel detector and locator of potential listening devices and phones that communicate wirelessly using GSM, WiFi, WiMax, or Bluetooth technology. The biggest advantage of the bug detector is the use of 6 completely independent channels, each of which supports a different range of frequencies.

The signal in each channel is SAW filtered to suppress all frequencies outside of a specific range. This significantly improves sensitivity, allowing the Protect 1207i to detect signals from a distance of up to 10m. Each channel operates independently, so you can detect up to six types of devices at the same time.

This makes it possible to detect devices such as:

• GSM bugs / GSM based electronic surveillance / GSM alarms
• video cameras using GSM, GPRS, EDGE, or 3G
• GSM phones
• GPS locators
• Bluetooth wiretaps
• Spy phones with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
• Wi-Fi eavesdropping
• Wi-Max eavesdropping

This type of Multi-Channel Bug Detector design is completely different from most detectors where the focus is on obtaining the widest possible bandwidth. However, the sensitivity and thus the reliability and precision of wide-band devices is lower, and are very limited in their ability to detect weak digital transmissions such as Bluetooth or Wifi. This is because wide-band devices tend to lose sensitivity with increasing frequency. The way the 1207i solves that issue is by using separate modules that are tuned to operate in multiple, narrow bands.

The Protect bug multi-channel detector is very easy and intuitive to use. Each channel has its own 10-level LED scale to display the signal strength. There are 4 modes:

• Quiet: LED-only indication to display the signal strength
• Vibrating alert: when the signal strength crosses a certain threshold, haptic feedback alerts the user of a potential hazard
• Visualisation: an external display informs the user about the detected signal type
• Sound: the built-in speaker generates a demodulated signal
