STOP LOOKING. START FINDING. Your privacy is non-negotiable. In an era of covert surveillance, Spy & Hidden Camera Detector delivers an intelligent, multi-layered security toolkit to turn your iPhone into a professional-grade privacy scanner. Whether you're staying in an Airbnb, changing in a dressing room, or securing a corporate meeting, our app provides the exact tools you need to find secret cams, hidden listening devices, and wireless trackers in seconds. 5 ADVANCED DETECTION TOOLS IN ONE APP No single scanning technology can catch every hidden device. That is why our 2026 security suite combines five specialized detection layers: AI LENS DETECTOR (NEURAL RECOGNITION) Point your camera around the room to instantly highlight physical lenses. Our proprietary on-device AI analyzes optical reflection and aperture geometry in real-time to identify hidden pinhole cameras, webcams, and concealed camcorders. WI-FI NETWORK & BUG SCANNER Map your local Wi-Fi network to identify connected devices and flag suspicious hardware signatures—including known surveillance brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Spot unknown MAC addresses transmitting data in secret. BLUETOOTH TRACKER FINDER Discover nearby Bluetooth devices, AirTags, and unauthorized listening bugs. The real-time signal meter updates as you walk, allowing you to trace signal strength directly to the hidden device. INFRARED (IR) NIGHT VISION FILTER Most spy cameras use infrared illuminators to record in the dark. Turn off the lights, activate our specialized IR filter, and sweep dark corners to expose invisible night-vision beams and glowing lens points. MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR (EMF METER) Pinpoint electronic components concealed inside solid objects. Use your phone's magnetometer to track magnetic field spikes behind walls, inside smoke alarms, clocks, or two-way mirrors. BUILT FOR TRANSPARENCY & ACCURACY Zero False Positives: Neural lens recognition differentiates everyday reflective objects from actual camera lenses. Complete Audit System: Our dashboard tracks each tool's progress so you never get a false "All Clear" before completing a full sweep. 100% On-Device Processing: All camera feeds and AI recognition run locally on your phone. Nothing is ever recorded or uploaded. PERFECT FOR EVERY SITUATION Hotels & Airbnbs: Scan bedrooms, bathrooms, smoke detectors, and alarm clocks before unpacking. Dressing Rooms & Restrooms: Check coat hooks, vents, and mirrors for covert lenses. Offices & Boardrooms: Detect hidden bugs and wireless microphones before sensitive meetings. Travel & Luggage: Sweep your personal belongings for unwanted location trackers. HOW TO PERFORM A COMPLETE SWEEP Connect & Scan Network: Identify unknown cameras operating on the local Wi-Fi. Sweep for Bluetooth: Detect nearby active trackers and hidden transmitters. Scan with AI: Point your camera at suspicious everyday objects to spot physical lenses. Inspect in Darkness: Use the Infrared filter to expose invisible night-vision LEDs. Check Surfaces: Move your phone along walls, mirrors, and outlets using the Magnetic Sensor.

n your bag, under your car — what if there's a tracker that isn't yours? TagGuard finds hidden Bluetooth trackers (AirTag, Galaxy SmartTag, Tile, Chipolo, Google Find My) and makes sure your family knows the moment something is wrong. ■ Hidden tracker detection • One-tap scan — results in seconds • Risk score — sightings, time together, distance traveled and distinct places are computed so you're only warned about real threats • Radar finder — the gauge climbs and vibration speeds up as you get closer; find it under the couch or inside the car • Route evidence — every shared movement is mapped, ready to reference in a police report ■ Family safety net (optional) • When tracking risk is detected, connected family members are alerted automatically — even before you notice • SOS — hold for 2 seconds to share your live location with family • SOS location texts reach family even without the app • Everything is end-to-end encrypted — even our server can't read it ■ Caring for parents • Connect with a single 6-digit code (no sign-up) • Once a parent turns on consent, you can request their location whenever you're worried • Every share posts a notification on the parent's phone — this is not covert monitoring ■ Privacy principles • Tracker detection runs 100% on your phone • Location leaves your phone only for family sharing you start yourself (end-to-end encrypted) • No ads.
