The Challenge
A major jewelry exporter in Jaipur found that exclusive Maharaja Collection designs were being duplicated overseas before the official launch.
The client suspected industrial espionage within a secure design vault and executive suite environment.
The Problem
Jewelry labs and showrooms combine mirrors, glass, reflective gemstones, and focused lighting that make visual bug detection unusually complex.
- Hidden camera detection across heavily reflective design spaces.
- Audio transmitter detection in dense traditional office furniture.
- Threats for corporate assets through loss of exclusivity and brand value.
The Action
Wahid Shaikh led a jeweler’s-eye sweep using micron-level physical and electronic inspection across the design vault.
- Optical reflectivity scanning across display cases and mirrors.
- NLJD inspection of storage cabinets and the lead designer workstation.
- RF spectrum analysis for low-frequency vault-penetrating transmissions.
The Findings
Indiebim found a high-resolution Wi-Fi pinhole camera and micro-audio bug integrated into a standard-looking LED spotlight in the vault ceiling.
The device drew power from the lighting circuit and captured a clear overhead view of the drafting table.
The Solution
- Applied tamper-evident seals to lighting and security hardware.
- Installed ultrasonic audio jammers in the design vault.
- Revamped vendor-access protocol for contractors and technicians.
