How long does the TSCM vehicle inspection take?

The standard service takes approximately 2 hours . This time may vary slightly depending on the type of vehicle, the environment, and the level of analysis required.

What exactly does electronic vehicle scanning include?

It includes a non-intrusive physical inspection of the vehicle, thermal analysis, detection of electronic devices, and monitoring of signals on GPS, GSM, LTE, Bluetooth, and other bands. It also performs extended radioelectric monitoring while stationary and in motion to detect transmissions that are only activated when driving.

Is the interior of the vehicle accessed or are parts removed?

No. The inspection does not involve disassembling the dashboard or accessing internal parts of the vehicle, except with the express authorization of the owner and only when necessary. In such cases, a signed consent form will be obtained before any work is carried out.

What happens after I pay for the service?

Once payment is confirmed, a specialist appraiser will contact you to request detailed information about the vehicle (make, model, registration number, history, usual parking locations, etc.). This information is necessary to conduct a personalized risk analysis and schedule the inspection appointment.

When should I request the expert report?

If you require a legally valid expert report , you must request it when contracting the service. It cannot be issued retroactively, as the procedure must be adapted and specifically documented for this purpose.

What does the TSCM expert report for cars include?

The report includes:

• Detailed description of the technical procedure followed.
• Equipment used, configurations, times and frequencies analyzed.
• Spectral, thermal and photographic analysis of the vehicle.

What types of devices can be detected?

We detect active GPS trackers that emit signals (GSM, 3G, 4G, LTE-M, NB-IoT), BLE beacons such as AirTags and SmartTags, devices using Zigbee and LoRa, as well as custom transmitters. We also perform optical and thermal inspections for passive devices.

Is it possible to detect devices that only activate when in motion?

Yes. That's why we perform part of the analysis with the vehicle in controlled transit. Many modern tracking devices only transmit when they detect movement. Our analyzers record this activity in real time.
