LinkRay Discovery Tool vs PrivacyScan

This application searches for LinkRay devices, using this during the installation process allows the user to find devices when also connected on the same network using WiFi or searching for nearby devices over Bluetooth without the need to be joined on the same network. The results from the search can be connected to directly on your mobile device or used for connection via another connected device of our choice.

Check a hotel room, a vacation rental or a flat you are about to move into for devices that should not be there, and see in plain words what this app can and cannot find. EVERY SCAN IS FREE No account, no trial, no scan limit. You see every result without paying. The optional Pro upgrade only removes ads and lifts the limit on PDF exports. WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES - Lists every device advertising a service on the Wi-Fi you are connected to, with its name, its IP address and the services it offers - Scores each one on how much it looks like an IP camera (RTSP, ONVIF, NVR and camera-style names) - Lists Bluetooth Low Energy devices nearby with signal strength and an estimated distance, and flags names used by cameras and recorders - Walks you through a room inspection: 29 checkpoints in 5 groups — smoke detectors, sockets, USB chargers, alarm clocks, picture frames, vents - Turns on the torch with a live camera preview so you can sweep surfaces for the small bright dot a lens reflects - Saves each scan as a report with a place name. Scan the same place again and the devices that were not there last time are marked NEW - Exports a report as a PDF to keep or send (the first PDF is free) WHAT IT CANNOT DO, STATED PLAINLY An iPhone has no radio receiver for RF sweeping. Apps that animate a radar dial and call it RF detection are showing you an animation. This one does not. It cannot find a camera that records to a local card and never touches the network. It cannot find one on a different Wi-Fi network, or on a router with client isolation switched on. The torch sweep is you looking at a screen: it is a manual aid, not a detector, and it does not see infrared. A high camera score is not a camera. It means that device advertises services cameras commonly use — a network video recorder and a doorbell look alike from the outside. The number is a reason to walk over and look. COMMON QUESTIONS Can an iPhone detect a hidden camera? Not by itself. It can find devices that announce themselves on the network or over Bluetooth, and it can help you look. Anything offline you find with your eyes. Does it detect RF signals? No, and nothing on an iPhone can. There is no RF receiver in the phone that an app can reach. Does the infrared test work? The app shows the back camera's live view so you can check a remote control emits IR and then sweep the room. Most iPhone cameras filter out 940 nm, the wavelength most covert cameras use, so a clean result proves nothing. Does it need an account or internet? Neither. Scanning is local, nothing is uploaded, there is no sign-up. What does Pro add? It removes ads and the upgrade screen after a scan, and unlocks unlimited PDF exports. Scanning, the device list and saved reports are free. What language is it in? It follows your iPhone; the interface is translated into 34 languages. FOR Hotel rooms, short-term rentals, changing rooms, offices, shared flats, and anyone who wants to check rather than assume.
