Hidden Camera Detector helps you check hotel rooms, rentals, and unfamiliar spaces for signs of hidden cameras and covert listening devices, using your iPhone's camera, Wi-Fi, and magnetometer. FOUR SCAN MODES • Infrared Scan — spots the lens glint hidden camera optics reflect under IR light. • Network Scan — lists Wi-Fi devices and flags ones commonly used by remote-access cameras (VNC, SSH). • Magnetic Scan — detects magnetic field anomalies from hidden electronics or wiring. • Full Scan — runs all three in one guided sweep with a combined risk score. Mark network devices as trusted or suspicious, and review a history of every room you've checked. BE HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS No app can guarantee detection of every hidden camera or listening device. Hidden Camera Detector is a helpful screening tool, not a substitute for a professional sweep. Network Scan only sees devices that advertise themselves over Wi-Fi. SUBSCRIPTION Pro unlocks all four scans plus unlimited history. Choose monthly or annual. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage anytime in your Apple ID settings.
