​Our equipment

ILR Services has the resources to deal with every situation. We can respond immediately for clients either on a one-off basis or on agreed consultancy terms. With the best and advanced equipment on the market, we provide both highly effective and efficient service.

Today’s bugs and cameras do not have to be recording and broadcasting constantly. Therefore, we need a range of equipment to locate them. To avoid giving false peace of mind, we use professional-grade equipment that can find devices. For instance, devices that are broadcasting or passive during the search.

This involves three types of electronic scanning.

  • Radio frequency scanning

  • Thermal imaging

  • Non-linear junction detection.

We are committed to using the very latest countermeasures. The equipment used will vary according to the complexity of the job in hand but includes:

  • Lornet-24 - Non-linear junction detector. We are the only company in Australia to use this advanced device. The Lornet-24 electronics detector is able to discover and track down all types of surveillance equipment. For instance, radio bugs, GSM devices, audio recorders, cameras, etc.

    • It can detect both active and passive devices, regardless of whether they are switched on or off. In addition, it can easily inspect hard-to-reach places.

    • Thanks to high signal frequency, the device is more efficient than conventional devices that have to rely on more powerful signals.

  • We also use Spectral profiling tools, UV detection devices, Infra-red spy finders and Hidden Camera Locators. In addition, we conduct old-fashioned, finger-tip searches to make sure nothing slips past us.

    Our technician(s) will arrive discreetly in an unmarked vehicle. To the neighbours, it could be a visit from any sort of trades-person. We will take a second brief from you to ensure we have all the information we need and to ensure we address all your concerns.

    ​After we complete our sweep, you can be confident your home, office, or car is secure.
