Description

Worried about your privacy and security? Traveling and want to make sure the owner of the vacation rental isn't a creep?

The SG-2 is our favorite 'all-around' bug detector. Trusted by real private investigators, the SG-2 our favorite choice for keeping your space safe.

The SG-2 can find most wireless cameras and microphones. Plus, it detects hardwired cameras, which is an incredibly rare feature these days. If you'd rather manually look for cameras, it also has a camera lens detector. This covers pretty much all the bases for securing your space.

Using the SG-2 is easy. It detects both analog and digital bugs, with lights that get brighter and vibrations that intensify as you get closer to the bug.

To get the best results, turn off your wireless router and phones before using it. The SG-2 gives you peace of mind, knowing your space is free from unwanted surveillance.

Hiring a private investigator for bug detection can cost over $400. With the SG-2, you can do it yourself for a fraction of the price. Our detailed instructions guide you through the process, and we’re always here via email if you need help.

How It Works

When someone uses the term ‘bug,’ they’re usually talking about a covert device that sends a wireless signal. That device could be a hidden camera or microphone. The signal it sends usually goes anywhere from 50-500 feet, but it could go further.

The signal goes to a receiver, which could be a tape recorder or even a person in a van, like you see in movies. Yes, law enforcement actually does that!

So, you think you’re being bugged. Turn off all your electronics that emit signals, like wireless routers and cordless phones. Flip the power switch on the SG-2, and pay attention to the LEDs. If it senses a weak signal, a couple of LEDs might light up and turn off. The stronger the signal, the brighter the LEDs get. As you walk around the room, pay attention to those lights. If there really is a wireless bug, you’ll be able to pinpoint where it is.

The SG-2 also detects hardwired cameras by sensing tiny vibrations they make. This only works within a few inches of the camera, but is an absolutely great way of confirming something is a camera or not.

Use the camera lens finder to spot hidden lenses reflecting light. This feature helps you find even the most discreetly placed cameras, like pinhole cameras.

Expert Advice

Like the description said, it’s perfect for anyone that travels and has a suspicion a camera is watching them.

Hotel room hidden cameras are nothing new - there are news stories about that every week, it feels like.

This is the only bug detector we offer that finds all types of hidden cameras, and it also has a wide frequency range - it’s easily our best ‘all-around’ tracker.

When will my order ship?

All orders placed Monday through Friday before 5:30 PM Eastern / 2:30 PM Pacific are shipped the same day.

The only exceptions are US national holidays and items that are out of stock, which will be clearly indicated on the product page.

Can I cancel or modify my order after it has been placed?

You can always change your mind regarding your order! Just get in touch quickly—our team processes orders fast.

Use the contact widget at the bottom right of our website to request item removals, address changes, or a cancellation. If you need to add items or change the shipping speed, we can help if the order hasn’t shipped yet.

Cancellation requests must be received before our daily shipping cutoff of 5:30 PM Eastern / 2:30 PM Pacific on the day of purchase. Once an order has shipped, we can’t change or cancel it. You’ll need to receive the package and start a return. If you still need additional items or a different shipping speed, please get in touch so we can help with a new order.

How does the order show up on my credit card?

We know you’re trying to be discreet, so we’ve gone the extra mile to have credit card transactions listed under “SGE LLC” on your statement and not “SpyGuy.”

Do you accept checks, money orders, or gift cards?

Many of our customers are trying to be discreet and don’t want certain charges appearing on credit card statements or PayPal.

AmEx and Visa offer gift cards at most grocery stores and big-box retailers, which can then be used on this website.

We don’t accept checks or money orders.

Shipping FAQ

What is the order cutoff time?

Orders placed Monday through Friday before 5:30 PM Eastern / 2:30 PM Pacific are shipped out the same day, except on US national holidays or when an item is out of stock.

Orders placed after this cutoff time are shipped the next business day.

How do I get free ground shipping?

Every order gets free and fast ground shipping via UPS or USPS. Most orders arrive within 4 business days, though carrier delays can happen.

Do you offer 2-day or overnight delivery?

Absolutely, we have these options at checkout. You’ll just need to place your order before the 5:30 PM Eastern cutoff time, otherwise it’ll be sent the next business day.

2-day shipping
$19.99
Overnight shipping
$39.99

For orders that ship Friday, overnight delivery is Monday and 2-day delivery is Tuesday, except on carrier holidays.

Where do you ship to?

We can ship to any valid address in the USA. This includes homes, apartments, businesses, and private mailboxes.

We can also deliver to PO and APO mailboxes, but cannot guarantee 2-day and overnight deliveries will get there on time as USPS doesn’t guarantee these services.

We don’t ship directly to international addresses. If you would like something shipped internationally, our clients outside the USA seem to like MyUS.com as a low-cost method of having packages forwarded.

Please be aware that any international duties, taxes, tariffs, and forwarding fees are your responsibility.

What shipping carriers do you use?

We use a combination of UPS and USPS for our free ground shipping options, and FedEx for our 2-day and overnight methods.

If you have a special carrier request or requirement, please get in touch with us via the contact widget and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

What does the package look like? Does it say SpyGuy?

All orders ship in discreet, plain, brown or white envelopes and boxes.

The shipping label doesn’t say SpyGuy, of course! It says “Fulfillment Center” and has the return address of the fulfillment center. The package contents aren’t listed on the packaging.

If you do an online search for the fulfillment center’s address, it doesn’t return anything related to SpyGuy.

I want this sent somewhere else, is that okay?

We understand some clients don’t want this sent to their home or business, and that’s fine. Just give us the full shipping address you want this sent.

Make sure you also add the billing address, which is tied to your credit card or other payment method, otherwise your payment might get refused.

How can I track my order once it has been shipped?

You’ll be emailed a tracking number as soon as your order has shipped.

If you lost it, open the contact widget to key in your email address and ZIP code, and you can see the details about your shipment.

You can also email us at help@spyguy.com and we can assist there.

FAQ

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions:

How does the SG-2 detect hidden cameras and microphones?

The SG-2 detects wireless cameras and microphones by picking up their radio frequency signals. It also finds hardwired cameras by sensing tiny vibrations in the camera itself and uses a lens finder to locate hidden lenses.

Do I need to turn off my Wi-Fi and other devices while using the SG-2?

Yes, to ensure accurate detection, you should turn off all electronics that emit signals, such as wireless routers, cameras, and cordless phones, before using the SG-2.

Is the SG-2 easy to use for someone who isn't tech-savvy?

Definitely - the SG-2 is user-friendly, with clear instructions provided. The LEDs and vibration alerts make it simple to understand and operate. It has some advanced features meant for professionals, but it's still simple.

What should I do if I find a bug or camera with this?

We're not lawyers, but we always recommend contacting the police if you find something suspicious.
