Is Someone Watching You?

Why does this unit work so well? It's a simple concept. This unit is based on the following theory. Video cameras contain a horizontal oscillator which operates at 15.75 KHz. This signal is radiated from the camera at a very low level and can be picked up by a specialized Very Low Frequency (VLF) receiver such as our VCD-43 Sweep Unit.

Why don't regular RF Detectors find hard wired video cameras?

Most over the counter frequency scanners only target a range from 50 MHz. to 3 GHz. These are the most common frequencies used to broadcast images via a wireless radio signal.

Till now hard wired cameras were almost impossible to detect. Many RF style sweep units are offered that detect radio frequencies used to transmit video from one location to another. The RF style sweeps were almost useless when a hard wired video camera was in place. Now you can detect hard wired video cameras. This is a must have addition to your counter measure arsenal. 

Finding Video Cameras with the VCD-43

Because they use the same horizontal frequency as video cameras, any televisions in the area should be turned off. Otherwise, you will get false indications from the TV. Also, the ballast in some fluorescent lamps emits a signal in the same frequency range, so turn them off too.

Turn the unit on and set the Sensitivity control to MAX. The Green Power On LED should light. The Yellow LED will come on briefly as the unit performs a self-test and then will go off. Walk slowly around the room while sweeping the VCD-43 slowly up and down from ceiling to floor.

If there is an operating video camera in the room, the Yellow LED will begin to flash. As you approach the camera , the Yellow LED will come on steady indicating that the unit is locked onto a valid signal and the RED LEDs will come on in order as the signal strength increases.

The VLF antenna used with the VCD-43 is directional with maximum signal pickup off the end of the antenna. This directional characteristic can help you pinpoint the location of the video camera.

When the Red LEDs come on, simply turn the VCD-43 so that the antenna faces different directions. The direction of the strongest pickup indicates the camera direction which will either from the top or the bottom end. If the signal gets stronger as you move forward, then the camera is to the front. Otherwise, it's behind you.

The sensitivity control can be used to help zero in on the location of the camera. Just reduce the sensitivity setting until the Red LEDs begin to go out. Then sweep the VCD-43 back and forth as you move forward. The LEDs again grow brightly as you move closer to the camera.
