Watchman™ is a networked RF monitoring system. Detectors placed around your facility report cell phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth activity to a central console in real time, for constant, automated monitoring.
WatchMan™ is a distributed multi-detector RF monitoring solution, built to identify and detect cell phones, Wi-Fi hotspots, access points and Bluetooth/BLE within secure locations, allowing constant automated signal monitoring in your facility.

Detectors installed around your facility are each networked to a central monitoring console, which alerts the security office in real time.
Yes. Watchman™ detects registration signals, so it finds switched-on phones even when they are not making a call.
The date, time, duration of the detection event, cell ID/location and frequency band of the detected signal. In selected territories it can also show the network operator.
A single detector provides coverage for a single cell or multiple cells, up to 50 metres line of sight.
Each detector connects to the console over Ethernet and is powered by the included 5V adapter or by PoE (Power over Ethernet).
Yes. A daily log file can be downloaded as a CSV file and exported via USB drive.
Software updates are sent by email and uploaded into the monitoring console via Ethernet cable, a standard web browser or a USB drive.
Watchman™ shows where and when phones are detected, so you can deploy staff to search with a Hunter™ handheld detector.
