1. An interactive device for detecting and locating transmitting devices transmitting wireless data packets in a wireless network environment, the transmitting devices exhibiting behaviour of interest in the wireless network environment, the device including:
a monitoring module operable to monitor the wireless network environment to receive wireless data packets from the environment;
a queue module operable to populate one or more queues for wireless data packets from the wireless data packets received from the environment, wherein the one or more queues are populated with packets received from the environment dependent on one or more detection template which defines a set of rules applied to data carried in received wireless data packets the set of rules defining behaviour of interest to detect whether one or more transmitting devices in the network are exhibiting a behaviour of interest;
a device-identifier module operable to extract device identifier data from the wireless data packets in the queue to identify said one or more detected transmitting devices exhibiting said defined behaviour;
a user interface operable to:
receive inputs indicating a selection of a detection template made at the user interface to allow an operator to select the defined behaviour of interest by a selection of a template and the rules defined by the template,
display information indicating said selected behaviour of interest to be detected,
display alert data carrying information indicating that a device in the network is exhibiting a behaviour of interest defined by the selected detection template, and
display data carrying information on a signal strength of wireless data packets from the same device exhibiting the behaviour of interest defined by the selected template, and
display data carrying information on a signal strength of received wireless data packets from the same one of the devices, and
wherein the user interface is operable to receive said inputs, update the template to a selected template and update data carrying information on said signal strength so as to provide the user with a real-time interactive user interface which is responsive to selections of detection templates to determine behaviours of interest and responsive to movement of the device which changes the signal strength of packets from devices detected as exhibiting said behaviour.
