About

Spyscan

Features
Read full description

SpyScan is a privacy inspection toolkit for reviewing local-network device and service information, magnetic-field measurements, and camera-assisted light observations. Network observations cover only reachable devices and services on the current Wi-Fi network. Magnetic fields, bright spots, and reflections can have many ordinary causes. Results are informational indicators that require careful manual verification; they do not identify a camera or prove that a space is safe or unsafe. Features include network observations, live magnetometer readings, camera-assisted light inspection, scan history, report export, dark and light modes, and 16 languages.
