PlacePod Sensor Utility vs QuietCheck Privacy Scanner

Use the PlacePod Vehicle Detection Sensor Utility to activate and configure PlacePod sensors. Securely activate your PlacePod sensors to join a designated gateway for communication over a LoRa network. Add multiple sensors to your LoRa network and configure sensor settings.

QuietCheck helps you notice the Bluetooth devices around you that could be recording or tracking — smart glasses like Meta Ray-Ban, Bluetooth trackers like Tile and Chipolo, drones that broadcast Remote ID, and some cameras that advertise over Bluetooth. It reads the signals these devices broadcast, right on your iPhone. One honest app, not four separate scanners. Private by design: scanning happens entirely on your iPhone — no account to scan, no ads, no tracking. And every alert carries an honest confidence level — Unverified, Low, Medium, or High — because a Bluetooth signal is a clue, not proof that anyone is recording you. A quiet scan isn't a guarantee that nothing's there; QuietCheck helps you notice, it doesn't promise to catch everything. PAY ONCE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. No weekly traps, no "can't cancel" runaround, no ads. Your first 24 hours unlock every feature — no sign-up, no payment, no limits. After that, a single one-time purchase keeps the full set. That's the whole deal. WHAT IT FINDS • Smart glasses — scans for the Bluetooth signals broadcast by camera-equipped glasses like Meta Ray-Ban and Snap Spectacles. • Bluetooth trackers — detects Tile, Chipolo, and similar trackers nearby, and flags one that keeps showing up near you over time. • Drones — reads the standardized Remote ID signal most drones are required to broadcast. • Action cameras — detects the Bluetooth signal that action and 360 cameras such as GoPro broadcast when their wireless is on. A camera advertising means it's present, not that it's recording. • Hidden cameras — an on-device camera-and-flashlight check that looks for the tell-tale glint of a camera lens. • Action cameras — detects the Bluetooth signal that action and 360 cameras such as GoPro broadcast when their wireless is on. A camera advertising means it's present, not that it's recording. WHAT IT CAN'T DO (we'd rather tell you up front) QuietCheck is a proximity tool: it only ever detects what's physically near your phone, right now. It can't look up, locate, or monitor a device or a person anywhere else. Background detection is best-effort — iOS limits how much an app can scan once it's in the background — so a quiet moment doesn't guarantee nothing's there. The hidden-camera check is a heuristic aid, not a guarantee. It's here to help you notice things, not to replace your own judgment. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Almost everything happens entirely on your iPhone, with no account and no tracking. No analytics SDK, no ad SDK. A few optional features can sync a signature database, submit anonymous feedback, or contribute to a community sighting map — each one is spelled out plainly, and each is off or on-device unless you choose otherwise. BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD • A proximity radar view for what's nearby right now. • Find It — a warmer/colder proximity locator to home in on a specific device. • Choose exactly which device types alert you; the rest are still logged. • On-device history of past detections, exportable as CSV. • A "please stop recording" card with your state's recording-consent law. • Apple Watch companion, widgets, and Siri Shortcuts. • An optional "meeting mode" that offers to scan around a calendar event. • Optional location tagging — see where a detection happened on a private map. Off by default; your location stays on your phone and is never uploaded.
