1

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.

2

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.
3

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.
4

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.

5

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.
