News Digest 2023 part 1 Detection and Analysis Equipment
NEWS DIGEST 2023 part 1
In this News Digest we are going to review new line of products offered by our company.
Before proceeding to the review, let’s review the basic scheme of an eavesdropping device.
Where sensor is a microphone, afterwards we see a converter that converts the received voice information into a signal that can transmitted outside of the controlled object (premise). Usually the transmissions channels are:
-Radio channel (GSM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, standard radio diapason)
-Wired channel (Wirelines, internet cables, telephone/internet lines, etc.)
-Optical Infrared channel (Cameras, laser microphones, etc.)
A wide spectrum of equipment is used for detection of the mentioned data leakage channels, such as non linear junction detectors, Signal receivers and many more.
Let’s begin with the non linear junction detectors.
And up today, those models are:
DT-830
DT-820Plus
DT-820
DT-810
Device Non linear junction detector is designed for detection of all types of electronical devices in ON/OFF, Stand-By modes and even turned off, broken and without power. Simply speaking device emmits an electromagnetic radio signal at a high frequency (f.e. 2.4GHz). When this signal resonaes with a electronic compnent(containing p-n junction) it is instantly re-reflected on to a receiver of the 2nd harmonica. If the signal is refleted from the natural semiconductor it is reflected on to the 3rd harmonica( such elements as, rust, natural semiconductors, MOM structure)etc.
EDD-24T
The EDD-24T is a compact handheld Non Linear Junction Detector or NLJD. It will detect the presence
of semiconductor circuits that are used in all modern electronic devices such as mobile phones, tracking
devices, listening devices, covert cameras, digital voice recorders, SIM cards etc. Importantly, the EDD-24T will detect such devices whether they are switched on and in use, powered on but in standby mode, or even switched off without any power.
DT-830 Non linear junction detector with IR thermal imager.
This is a unique device that combines both non linear technology and termal imaging technology. This combination enables the operator the opportunity to identify the target according to Semiconductor element but also according to the temperature that target may or may not emit.
DT-820 and DT-820PLUS
Both these devices are use fo the same puropose. Checking of hard to reach places between furniture, checking mailings and personnel.
As DT-820 PLUS is also equipped with an extension rod desinged for checking narrow spaces on the ceiling, etc.
DT-810 is a basic model from DT line of non linear junction detectors. Equipped with an extension rod. The usage of this device is very wide:
It can be widely used in government, public security, prison, justice, army, education examination, business security and personal privacy protection, etc.
Business Safety: Detecting unauthorized electronic devices, such as eavesdroppers, mobile phones and devices with SIM cards, hidden in company boardrooms or secret offices.
Public Safety: Detecting electronic devices hidden or prohibited from use in safe areas, such as detonators, remote controllers, etc.
Personal Privacy Protection: Hidden cameras and surveillance devices such as recording pens, cameras, etc. in residential buildings and hotels.
FJT-C-S6
FJT-C-S6 Device can automatically find the best receiving frequency channel free from
interference, so it can be used in a complex electromagnetic environment. The
devices has automatic power adjustment option.
Device can simultaneously detect semiconductors and metals, such as remote
control, mobile phones, cameras, listening devices, transmitters and so on.
At maximum power and sensitivity mode, the range of analog electronics
detection is not less than 50cm. Max. distance for responses from metallic surfaces is (5 g metal)
30cm.
HW-24
HW-24 is a unique non-linear junction detector that is notable for its compact size, ergonomic
design and weight. It is highly competitive with most popular models of non-linear junction
detectors. It can operate in continuous and pulse mode as well, having a variable power output.
The main advantage of this device is:
- Small size;
- High sensitivity and accuracy;
- Very low weight 1kg;
Please note that when selecting a specific model of the non linear junction detector, it is necessary to understand the task that the operator is going to use this device for.
Please note that the non linear junction detectors are used to detect the body of the eavesdropping device only.
For detection of the transmission channels RF scanners, signal detectors are being used.

WAM-X10 - Multiband Wireless Activity Monitor
The WAM-X10 Wireless Activity Monitor is a portable multiband Radio Frequency (RF) detector for handheld use.It is designed for detection and logging transmissions from all types of radio frequency devices including mobile phones, smartphones, vehicle trackers, Wi-Fi Hotspots, GSM listening devices (bugs) and covert wireless 3G/4G/5G cameras. The WAM-X10 provides complete coverage and logging of all activity in the surrounding area.
A complete ground-up redesign means the WAM-X10 now has Worldwide 5G Cellular coverage. It can be used in any environment where Radio Frequency/Cellular devices are forbidden such as sensitive meeting rooms to check for hidden devices, unauthorised mobile phone usage in offices, exam halls, hospitals, or prisons and in vehicles to locate the latest hidden tracking devices.
The WAM-X10 also has a separate 2.4 GHz band and a new 5 GHz band detector for the rapidly growing threat from Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, Store & Forward and Video devices. The 0-14 GHz Wideband detector provides the highest range of coverage of all RF activity in the target area. The frequency of the detected signal (up to 6GHz) can be seen simultaneously and the 'Livescan' software shows the detected live signal pattern graphically to help identify the signal type. This can be particularly useful when searching for pulsing or burst devices such as GPS trackers. Up to 4000 events can be stored within the WAM-X10 for viewing as a list or graphically. For each detected signal (no matter how long or short) it will record the Time/Date, Duration, Band detected and Signal strength. This can be particularly useful in identifying the type of device that is being detected. For example: a string of regular short bursts in one band may represent those from a GSM/GPS Tracking device. These could be clearly viewed in Graph Mode as lines of regular spacing representing the pulsing nature of the transmission. Also, by looking at call activity at certain times of the day could help identify unauthorised phone use in sensitive areas such as prisons, company board rooms, exam halls, etc. The entire event log can also be downloaded to a USB stick for storage or transfer to a computer where it can be viewed/sorted for analysis or reporting. For truly global use, simply select the international region the device is being used in and the WAM-X10 will detect signals from all the relevant cellular bands. This means the WAM-X10 is ready for the rollout of the latest 5G devices, worldwide. Of course, all existing 2G, 3G and 4G bands will also be covered. The WAM-X10 features 2.4GHz & New 5 GHz Wireless real time detection for the threat from the latest generation of Bluetooth & Wi-Fi devices. Such devices can for example, record audio over long periods and then transmit it in short regular bursts. It will also detect other devices that use these bands such as wireless video. Complex algorithms analyse the detected signals to help identify the signal type i.e., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other 2.4 GHz or 5GHz signal. All 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz activity can be viewed graphically for later analysis. A new powerful high-gain RF front end ensures detection up to 50 meters depending on signal strength and ambient conditions. The WAM-X10 is supplied with new adjustable hinged antennas designed for optimum performance and flexibility. A new keypad design means operation is simple and intuitive. All information is displayed on a colour TFT screen that allows the user to perform real time detection or to view events that have previously occurred. Each band has an individual 20 element signal strength meter enabling the precise source of a detected signal to be located with ease. An audible 'Beep' mode allows the user to monitor without looking at the display and a silent Vibrate mode can also be used for particularly sensitive areas.
The WAM-X10 is designed and manufactured to the highest specification and is enclosed in customised machined aircraft-grade aluminium enclosure. It uses an integral Lithium-Polymer battery pack and is supplied with an international charger. The complete system is supplied in a compact heavy-duty military standard carry case for ultimate protection.
