This list is edited by the autonomous group « Ears and Eyes » in order to gather informations about physical surveillance devices (hidden microphones, cameras, GPS trackers\dots{}) hidden by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to surveil people or groups engaged in subversive activities. On our website you will find the latest versions of this document, as well as high resolution photos of many of the devices listed here.


Currently, 97 cases are listed, ranging from 1988 to 2022.

\part{1 Methodology}


This document seeks to list, as comprehensively as possible, instances of the use of covert physical surveillance devices (microphones, cameras, GPS trackers) by law enforcement or intelligence agencies to monitor individuals or groups engaged in subversive activities. There is no time or geographical limit to the listed cases.


Our goal is to help individuals or groups who may feel threatened by such surveillance practices to better understand these practices and protect themselves. To best meet this objective, we have established certain conditions that must be met for a case to be added to the list. These conditions are as follows:


• A minimum of information must be available about the device(s) - such as where and when they were used, what they looked like, etc. Mere mention of the use of a device in a news article or investigative file, without further details, is not sufficient.


• There must be a substantial likelihood that the device(s) were installed or operated by a law enforcement or intelligence agency - or a private company or militia that acts in the same manner as a law enforcement agency.


• The device(s) must be targeted at individuals or groups engaged in subversive activities. Devices targeting government agencies or commercial companies are not included.


For each case listed in this document, we attempt to provide the following information, where possible:


• The location and date the devices were discovered or used


• A brief description, where the type of devices found and their location appear in \textbf{bold}


• The name of the company that markets the devices


• Additional files, such as user manuals for the devices


• Photos


• Sources used to provide this information


The cases identified are sorted by country, then sorted depending on whether the device(s) were found:


• In a building


• In a vehicle


• Inside an electronic device


• Elsewhere, such as in the street or outdoors outside a city


Most of the cases listed in this document were found through a simple web search. Some cases have been added after a contact with us by email. If you have any information to give us, you can contact us.

\section{2.1.1 Brussels, may 2011}


A \textbf{camera} is found at two anarchists’ houses. The device is placed \textbf{in the kitchen, behind a small air vent}. It consists in a camera, linked to a rather large battery made of 3 tubes of 4 batteries of 14.4 volts. The battery is behind the sink. Between the battery and the rest of the device is what seems to be a switch, that can be manipulated remotely. The camera is connected to a small black box that serves as an encoder. This encoder, type « Micro View Lock » (Ovations Systems), was in turn connected to what may be an antenna to transmit images on 1.4 Ghz. There is no SIM card. The camera is pointed towards the kitchen table. We don’t know if it also contains a microphone. The camera is secured with magnetic elements. On almost all elements « CS » stickers are affixed. « CS » indeed matches the code store Logistics Department of the Federal Police.

\chapter{4.2 In buildings}

\section{4.2.1 Paris, september 2015}


A \textbf{surveillance device} is found in the « Plaisir d’enfance » Montessori school \textbf{just in front of the anarchist library La Discordia}, in a storage room on the first floor \textbf{overlooking a window in front of the library}. The device takes the form of a « cardboard folder ». The device is in a rectangular casing about 40x25x25 cm in hard plastic, loud (because of fans), and plugged into the power supply (without batteries). The casing has a hole of about 4 cm in diameter for the camera, with three cables coming out at the end, two of which are tipped antennae (probably sound sensors) and a third a small square sensor. Inside the box we find advanced technological equipment: a wireless router with two SIM cards (Bouygues), GPS, three cell inputs, one stereo input ; a processor ; a telephone device with an Orange SIM card (which means that the data was not stored but transmitted live) ; a camera with two zoom levels, remote controlled ; and other types of materials that we are not able to identify. The device was in place at least since the second week of july 2015.

\chapter{4.3 Elsewhere}

\section{4.3.1 Sarthe, september 2018}


\textbf{Three outdoor surveillance cameras} are found outside, at an event organized in support of a struggle against a project of nuclear waste burrying center. The cameras are all located \textbf{along a 250m pathway leading to the event place}. Two cameras of model BOLYGUARD MG983G are found \textbf{laying} \textbf{in the grass} and \textbf{in a bush, 80cm above ground} and are covered by a kind of camouflage hairnet. The third camera, of model RECONYX HYPERFIRE SM750, is found \textbf{on a tree trunk, 1m20 above ground} and has a khaki color. The contents of the SD memory cards reveal several things: the devices were placed on the same day very early in the morning (between 3h30 and 4h) ; the three devices are capable of night vision, two of them were configured to take pictures and one to record video and sound ; their placements allowed them to take pictures of the front and back license plates of cars driving on the pathway, and also of people following the pathway by foot ; one of the cameras was useless because of leaves in its field of vision.


According to the source that reported the discovery of the cameras, the cameras that were found were marketed by the companies \textbf{RECONYX} and \textbf{Boly}, based in the United States.

\section{4.3.2 ZAD du carnet, august 2020}


\textbf{Four cameras} are found near the ”ZAD du Carnet”, a place of struggle against the creation of an industrial area, in Loire-Atlantique, in the west of France. The four cameras, hidden \textbf{near an access gate to the area}, are camouflaged \textbf{in a fake tree log and fake stones}. They filmed continuously and were connected, via buried cables, to large batteries and modems, also concealed, allowing images to be sent directly to a remote station. The mention ”Allwan” is visible on some of the images found, as well as on a label on a camera. The cameras are found on august 31, and appear to have been installed right before a”weekend of resistance” organized there on august 29 and 30.


The mention ”Allwan”, visible on images found on the devices, as well as on a label on a camera, suggests that the devices were supplied by the french company \textbf{Allwan} \textbf{Security}.

\section{5.1.7 Berlin, november 2020}


\textbf{A GPS tracker and a microphone} are found in a car. The two devices were installed separately, \textbf{each in one of the front seat headrests}. The headrests were opened and glued back together after the bugs were installed. Both devices were equipped with two batteries each. The first device, which is apparently the control unit, is equipped with a GSM module to send GPS data and recorded audio files to the cops via the SIM card. On the control unit itself, there was a GPS\Slash{}GSM antenna, the connection to the batteries and a microphone. Inside the device, a SIM card from ”Deutsche Telekom” was found. The second device seems to be the actual audio monitoring device. It also has a battery connection, a smaller antenna and two microphones, which have been glued into the holes for the seat support, with antivibration padding. This device was equipped with an SD card, but there were no more audio files stored in it. Apparently, the SD card was used as a storage medium for the operating system data and for temporary storage of the recorded data. According to what is currently known, the GPS tracker was installed in august 2019 and the listening device intended for ”internal surveillance of a vehicle” during or after september 2019. These devices were obviously installed by the federal criminal police (BKA) in order to retrieve information on the persons accused in the present ”criminal association” proceedings.

\section{5.1.9 Berlin, august 2022}


\textbf{Two GPS trackers} are found under a vehicle (the second one is found a few days after the first one was found and removed). They are \textbf{attached with strong magnets in a hollow space between the plastic covering of the bumper and the body, precisely behind the left rear wheel}. Each tracker consists of two metal cases connected by a cable. The first one contains a battery pack, and the second one the tracker itself, including a smaller battery, two antennas, and a SIM card.


The pictures of the device show that a tracker of model NavKos T, marketed by the german company DESAG Telematic, was part of the device. This suggests that the device was supplied by the german company \textbf{DESAG Telematic}.

A \textbf{listening and geolocation device} is found \textbf{on a scooter}. The different device components are located \textbf{in the spare wheel bracket, next to the tank and behind the horn grid}. The device is based on a device sold by Telit (an italian supplier of wireless technologies). The device model is Telit GM862-GPS. It is capable of listening with a microphone, geolocating with a GPS antenna, and transmitting collected informations on the telephone network with a GSM antenna. The device is placed in the spot where the tank is along with a transformer and an accumulator. Both antennas (GPS and GSM) are connected to the device and end up in the spare wheel bracket. The microphone, also connected to the device, ends up behind the horn grid. Wires connect the device to the scooter starting system. All these components are stuck to the scooter frame by strong magnets secured by tape. This scooter model doesn’t have a battery (it dates back to the 1980s) and its engine generates alternating current, hence the presence of a transformer and an accumulator to guarantee the good functioning of this equipment even when the scooter is not going.

The first tracker is equipped with an accumulator made of five 3.6V lithium batteries connected in a series, and a SIM card from Omnitel (former name of Vodafone Italia, an italian operator). The other tracker is equipped with a SIM card from Movistar (spanish operator). Although the use of an Omnitel card (operator which doesn’t exist anymore) and a spanish card is weird, it seems these trackers were assembled by the same people and probably installed these past months.
