About Bug Sweeping Australia

I’ve been working in the electronic security industry since 1998, with a focus on surveillance, detection, and real-world problem solving.

My interest in electronics and surveillance started early. I built my first listening device at 11 and installed my first CCTV system at 18. That hands-on background has carried through to nearly three decades of commercial work involving cameras, tracking devices, and electronic monitoring systems.

I co-founded OzSpy Security Solutions in 1998, one of Australia’s early electronic security and surveillance companies, and have been involved in the industry’s development since its early growth.

Before moving fully into security, I spent 10 years in the mechanical industry. This experience is particularly valuable in vehicle sweeps, where understanding how a vehicle is built makes it easier to identify anything that doesn’t belong.

Over the years, I have worked as head trainer for OzSpy Security Solutions, training staff and franchisees in CCTV systems, technical installations, and electronic surveillance detection.

I am also responsible for the sourcing, testing, and ongoing evaluation of TSCM equipment used within the business, ensuring the tools selected are practical, reliable, and suited to real-world conditions.

I have been featured and quoted in Australian media on surveillance, privacy, and counter-surveillance topics.

Today, that experience is applied to electronic surveillance detection across homes, offices, and vehicles, helping identify hidden cameras, audio devices, and tracking equipment.

My approach is simple: thorough inspection, clear explanation, and no unnecessary alarm. Most concerns have a logical explanation, and when something isn’t right, it needs to be properly identified and dealt with properly.

Web & Technical Infrastructure

In addition to security and TSCM work, I also develop business websites, server infrastructure, and custom business systems through Web Design by Craig.

This includes Joomla and WordPress websites, custom PHP development, hosting infrastructure, SEO focused optimisation, and internal business automation systems.

This broader technical background provides a strong understanding of both physical and digital privacy, security, and infrastructure.

This is a private, independent service focused on delivering accurate results and peace of mind.
