Inspecting vehicles
There are a number of bugs and trackers which can be installed
in a car. Firstly, make sweeping inside the vehicle similar to the
procedure for inside a premises. Then repeat the procedure pro-
bing the car from outside, above and under it. Keep the engine
running.
GPS trackers (and also 3G/4G trackers) accumulate the route
and send the data periodically, with a pre-programmed interval,
more frequently when the car is moving. Therefore it is necessary
to detect the transmissions while the car is moving and during
quite a long period of time. Because of these reasons the detec-
ting device must be very sensitive to detecting the RF waves
from a car's interior during travel while the transmitter is situated
somewhere outside the car. That is why we recommend applying
the more sensitive Protect 1207i, which is better suited for finding
GPS trackers.

Detecting distance
detected at a distance of approximately 10 cm. Another way is to
place the iProtect 1205's antenna under the table close to the
place where the person will sit (in this case it will be necessary
to make an RF extension cable for antenna). Watch the RF level
on the bargraph when the target person sits or during the
meeting. An increased level may be a sign of a transmitting bug.
(If a mobile phone is ringing or somebody is talking by mobile
phone it is normal for the device to show an increased level.)
