Good idea Todd. Any mesh would definitely make it messy to drill a hole. Just a thought, are there any small cameras that would have an in built recording function? And if so, would this kind of camera be affected by the mesh? -----Original Message----- From: Mondragon, Todd [mailto:todd.mondragon () fmr com] Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 2:00 AM To: Murda Mcloud; Pranav Lal; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Seeking a solution for detecting hidden cameras No need to jam, a wire mesh placed in the walls and grounded will stop most RF devices cold. The mesh should be of the same type as screen door mesh (must be wire though!) to be able to stop any 2ghz signals. The mesh would also need to be electrically contiguous of course. Might make it hard to drill as well, the mesh would foul any powered bits and a hand tool would have great difficulty dealing with it as well.

Also, make the walls etc out of something that would be hard to drill a pinhole in. Then some of those detectors that you listed could be used-though I can't vouch for any of them. Maybe there's a way of jamming signals too? -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Pranav Lal Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 6:08 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Seeking a solution for detecting hidden cameras Hi all, I have been asked by a client to find a solution for detecting cameras in dressing rooms etc. The client has trial rooms where customers can try various garments. The concern is that some one could plant a camera in one of these rooms and photograph customers. I have checked online and have found the following sources; http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/sf-103.html http://www.spytechs.com/bug_sweep_equip/vcd_43.htm http://www.pimall.com/nais/countervideo.html http://www.intpro.co.uk/pinhole.htm http://www.intpro.co.uk/camera%20detector.htm Are there any others? Has any one on this list tried any such solutions? I have found an interesting reference on hiding and detecting cameras at http://www.tentacle.franken.de/papers/hiddencams.pdf Pranav
