Being the executive assistant of a company president has taken me places. Among my travel essentials is a video camera detector. It alerts me of the presence of surveillance video recorders where my boss conducts his business.

He could be inside a car, at any given board room or hotel lounge, and suddenly talk business. I am present in these restricted conferences and make sure nothing is caught on surveillance video recorders, as is only right.

The video camera detector I have is desirable for its 2-in-1 tracing ability. This wired or wireless camera multifunctional detector provides laser frequency visual detection, for video, and wide band radio frequency detection, for audio.

Not only wired and wireless covert cameras but also concealed wireless microphones on site can be scoured for. This video camera detector displays their signal strength through 4 LED and audible or vibrating RF prompts.

It keeps up with my pace. The wired or wireless camera multifunctional detector sports a viewing port on which I can see the location of any camera lens in a 10 feet range, represented by flashing red lights.

For protecting cell calls between me and my boss, which I could receive perhaps a comfort room or even my hotel room, I switch to RF function. I then make area sweeps for audio recorders.

I change from detection with sound to the silent function for trailing my boss in his continuous flurry of meetings. My video camera detector is conveniently sized for keeping in a purse of blazer pocket.

I share a distaste with my boss for surveillance video recorders capturing our actions freely, so he has given expressed approval of my use of bug detection. I have been candid about fishing for video and audio transmitters although he never asked for it.
