The Protect 1205M counter-surveillance device is a handheld RF bug detector designed to locate wireless transmitters, spy phones, GPS bugs and hidden cameras across a 50-6000 MHz range. This pen-style scanner uses a 16 segment bar graph, adjustable sensitivity and vibrating alerts to help you trace suspicious signals around vehicles, offices and meeting rooms. Powered by a single AA battery and built for professional sweeps, Protect 1205M gives you a quick way to check your environment for active radio based surveillance devices.
Compact and discreet, the Protect 1205M is suitable for people who need to verify that their conversations, movements and workspaces are not being monitored, without drawing attention while they perform a sweep.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What types of devices can the Protect 1205M detect?
It is designed to help locate a variety of RF transmitters including wireless bugs, spy phones, GPS bugs, vehicle transmitters, wireless video cameras and Wi Fi audio or video transmitters operating within its frequency range.
How do I use the bar graph and sensitivity control during a sweep?
Start with lower sensitivity to avoid overload, then move around the area and watch the 16 segment bar graph. As the bar graph rises, reduce sensitivity and move toward the strongest indication to narrow down the source.
What alert modes are available on this detector?
The unit supports normal audio indication, a vibrating mode for discreet feedback and an audio mode, with low power indication provided so you know when the battery is nearly exhausted.
How long does the battery last in typical use?
The listed battery resource is 10 to 20 hours from a single AA battery, depending on how intensively the detector is used and how often the bar graph is driven to high levels.
Is the Protect 1205M suitable for travel and field work?
Yes. Its compact pen style dimensions and single AA power source make it easy to pack in a bag or pocket so you can perform counter surveillance checks in vehicles, hotel rooms or temporary offices.
