The average TSCM (Technical Surveillance Countermeasures) inspection costs between $2,000 and $5,000 depending on property size, risk level, and the equipment used. Larger or high-security sites can range from $3,000 to $10,000+.

Highlights
When you suspect someone may be listening, watching, or tracking you, the question isn’t just “Is my privacy at risk?” It’s also “What will it take to confirm it?”
The truth is that professional bug sweeps vary in cost, but the investment is small compared to the consequences of hidden surveillance. Southern Recon Agency, Florida’s most trusted name in TSCM services, breaks down what affects pricing, what’s included, and why choosing certified professionals is worth every dollar.
A bug sweep, also called a Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) inspection, is a comprehensive examination of your home, office, or vehicle to locate and remove hidden listening, recording, or tracking devices.
Whether you’re safeguarding a company boardroom or your own house, a professional TSCM sweep restores control over your personal and professional privacy.
No two bug sweeps are identical. The cost depends on several key factors:
Larger spaces require more time and equipment to inspect, especially if multiple rooms or wireless systems are involved.
If there’s evidence or strong suspicion of active surveillance, investigators will use additional technology and time to ensure full coverage.
Professional-grade tools like spectrum analyzers, non-linear junction detectors (NLJD), and infrared or thermal imaging increase precision but also affect overall cost.
Homes and vehicles are simpler to inspect, while offices, medical facilities, or government buildings often contain complex wiring and hidden areas requiring deeper analysis.
Certified, licensed TSCM professionals may cost more upfront, but their results are verified, accurate, and legally admissible if surveillance is confirmed.
A cheap, handheld “bug detector” may sound tempting, but it won’t find most modern devices. Professional TSCM inspections deliver results that no consumer gadget can match.
Our licensed investigators can detect both active and inactive surveillance equipment, including devices designed to remain hidden for months.
All inspections are handled confidentially. Reports and evidence can support restraining orders, lawsuits, or criminal investigations if needed.
Knowing your home or office is truly secure is invaluable. Professional sweeps eliminate uncertainty and restore confidence.
Here’s a general overview of what you can expect to pay for different types of sweeps:
| Type of Sweep | Average Cost Range | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Single Room or Small Office | $1,500 – $2,500 | 1–2 hours |
| Full Residential Home (1,500–3,000 sq. ft.) | $2,500 - $7,000 | 2–6 hours |
| Corporate Office or Boardroom | $2,500 – $5,000+ | Half-day or full-day |
| Vehicle Sweep (Car, Truck, SUV) | $500 – $1500 | 1 hour |
| High-Security / Government Site | $7,500 – $10,000+ | Full day or longer |
Note: These are standard estimates. Southern Recon Agency provides tailored quotes after evaluating your property size, layout, and threat level.
Every inspection is handled with care, precision, and confidentiality.
Not all sweeps are created equal. Choosing the right provider determines whether your inspection finds every device, or misses critical threats.
Pro Tip: Avoid services that sound too inexpensive. Low-cost sweeps often rely on consumer-grade tools and visual checks only, leaving hidden devices undiscovered.
Whether you suspect a hidden camera at home, a listening device in your office, or a GPS tracker on your vehicle, we provide reliable, discreet, and results-driven solutions.
Our coverage includes:
We use state-of-the-art TSCM tools and investigative methods to secure your privacy completely.
Our Promise: Licensed experts, full confidentiality, and proven results every time.
You can try basic inspections, but consumer devices are often unreliable. Professional sweeps use advanced detection technology unavailable to the public.
Residential sweeps typically take 2–4 hours, while large offices may require a full day. Vehicle sweeps usually take less than an hour.
If you’ve experienced harassment, data leaks, or strange device behavior, it’s wise to schedule a sweep for peace of mind.
High-risk individuals or businesses should schedule professional inspections every 6–12 months.
