"Begin with a quick scan of local Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals. Every space tells a story, but not every device in that space makes itself known. Whether you're staying in a hotel, renting a temporary apartment, or working in a co-working environment, it’s crucial to understand what’s around you. This app offers a full toolkit for digital awareness, helping you spot devices and connections that don’t belong. These scans instantly detect devices trying to connect, whether they’re idle or active. It’s a powerful way to discover previously unknown electronics nearby — such as unlisted cameras, recorders, or network access points. In places with high foot traffic or shared access, knowing what’s connected can give you immediate peace of mind. Infrared scanning adds a unique visual layer. Use your phone’s camera with a red filter to scan objects, furniture, or dark areas. Bright or unusual reflections may suggest the presence of hidden technology. Unlike simple network scans, IR view helps you assess what might be physically installed — not just what’s broadcasting. The app’s layout is clean and direct. With just one tap, you can access scan tools, switch between modes, and view your history. There’s no complicated onboarding — just open, scan, and review. All results are automatically saved, so if you’re traveling or switching between locations, you’ll always have a reference to compare. To support your decisions, the app also includes in-app advice — like where to aim your infrared scan, how to distinguish safe devices from suspicious ones, and what patterns to watch out for in public areas. Week Premium features include: - Unlimited access to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scans; - Enhanced infrared mode for deeper visual inspection; - A fully ad-free interface with priority performance.

Vigil turns your phone into a five-channel sweep for hidden cameras, microphones and trackers. It is the check worth doing before you unpack in a hotel room, a holiday rental, a changing room or an office. FIVE WAYS TO FIND A CAMERA Infrared: night-vision cameras flood a dark room with light your eyes cannot see. The front camera can see it, and Vigil under-exposes the sensor until only the emitters are left. Lens glint: glass reflects light straight back at its source. Sweep with the torch and a lens answers with a small, hard, motionless spark. Magnetic: every camera worth hiding holds a magnet and a switching supply, both of which bend the local field. This is the only channel that finds a camera that is switched off. Wi-Fi: lists every device on the network you are on and flags the ones answering on the ports IP cameras stream over. Bluetooth: finds battery cameras, voice recorders and trackers that advertise themselves, and tells you when one is getting closer. WHERE TO LOOK Smoke detectors, air vents, alarm clocks, chargers, mirrors, TV bezels, power strips, air fresheners and decorative holes. Each mode explains what it is measuring and how to sweep properly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every scan runs on your device. No video is recorded, no network data leaves the phone, no account is needed and nothing is uploaded — a privacy tool that phoned home would be a contradiction. Vigil raises suspicion, it does not prove anything. If you find something you cannot explain, stop, leave it in place and call the front desk or the police.
