Worried about hidden cameras in your hotel, Airbnb, or changing room? Findy turns your iPhone into a powerful hidden camera detector and anti-spy scanner—so you can check any room for spy cameras, hidden microphones, and surveillance bugs in seconds. Whether you're travelling, renting, or just want peace of mind at home, Findy helps you find what you can't see and protect your privacy wherever you go. ► HIDDEN CAMERA DETECTION Use your camera to reveal concealed lenses through infrared (IR) emission detection and lens-reflection analysis—the same techniques used to find night-vision and pinhole spy cameras hidden in smoke detectors, mirrors, alarm clocks, and everyday objects. ► SPY MICROPHONE & BUG SCANNING Sweep your surroundings for suspicious wireless and Bluetooth devices that may be hidden microphones, audio recorders, or surveillance bugs. ► WIRELESS DEVICE SCANNER See nearby Bluetooth and wireless devices on a real-time radar. A signal-strength indicator gets stronger as you move closer, helping you pinpoint the source of a hidden device. ► THREAT MAP Visualise where suspicious devices were detected so you can sweep a space room by room. ► MULTIPLE SCAN MODES Switch between infrared, lens-reflection, and full-scan modes for thorough coverage of any environment. WHO IT'S FOR • Travellers checking hotels, Airbnbs, and rentals • Anyone concerned about being secretly recorded or watched • People who value their privacy and personal security WHY FINDY • Real detection tech: infrared + lens reflection, not just guesswork • Simple enough for beginners, powerful enough for pros • Fast, dark, distraction-free scanning interface • Built for privacy and peace of mind — SUBSCRIPTION — Findy offers an auto-renewing subscription for full access. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or turn off auto-renew anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

Hidden Camera Detector Spot

Read full description

You check into a hotel room, a holiday rental or a changing room, and the thought arrives: is anything watching? Spot gives you five real instruments and a checklist so you look everywhere. It is deliberately honest about what a phone can and cannot do — see the list below of what no app can find, including this one. INFRARED SWEEP Almost every hidden camera that works in the dark floods the room with infrared at 850 or 940 nanometres. Your eyes cannot see it; the front camera nearly can, because its infrared filter is far weaker than the rear camera's, so that light lands on the sensor as a pale violet-white dot. Turn the lights off, open the infrared sweep, and move slowly around the room. Spot lifts the shadows so a faint infrared source separates from a dark room instead of vanishing into it, and rings anything abnormally bright. LENS GLINT SWEEP A camera lens is a retroreflector: shine light at it and it sends light straight back, which is why animal eyes flash in a photograph. Spot lights the torch and looks for that signature — a small, very bright point that appears from one angle and vanishes from another. Glass and polished metal do the same, so every ring is a prompt to walk over and look, never a verdict. THE ROOM CHECKLIST Most hidden cameras are found by looking carefully, not by waving a phone around. Spot walks you through the places they are actually installed — smoke detectors and vents, anything facing the bed, sockets and USB bricks, shelves, bathroom fittings, and mirrors, including the fingertip test that tells a normal mirror from two-way glass. SAVE WHAT YOU FIND Anything that looks wrong, capture it. The photo and your note stay on your phone, so you have a record if you need to raise it with a host, a hotel or the police. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE The camera feed is analysed live, in memory, and discarded. Nothing is recorded or uploaded, and there is no account. WHAT SPOT CANNOT DO It cannot find a camera that is powered off. It cannot find one with no infrared that is hidden behind an object, and it cannot see through walls. It reads your own Wi-Fi and nearby Bluetooth advertisements, but it does not decode radio transmissions — no phone app can, whatever the category claims. A ring on screen means "brighter than its surroundings", which is a reason to go and look. FREE • The full room checklist for hotels, rentals, your own home, changing rooms, offices and cars • Run the network scan and see how many devices answered • The complete, honest list of what no phone app can find Charging for a written checklist would be taking money for nothing, so it is free — and it is the only thing that finds a daylight camera, a powered-off one, or a two-way mirror. SPOT PRO UNLOCKS THE INSTRUMENTS • Infrared sweep: the LEDs a night-vision camera gives off in a dark room • Lens glint sweep: the reflection an uncovered lens returns to your torch • The network scan results: which device is which, and the ports each answered on • Bluetooth scan: what is broadcasting around you, with signal strength • Sensor scan: a magnetometer that reacts to concealed metal and magnets • Unlimited saved findings with photos and notes • Adjustable glint sensitivity and infrared view profiles SUBSCRIPTION Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription: • Weekly — $3.99 per week, with a 3-day free trial. • Yearly — $17.99 per year. Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
