ILENS helps you check a room for hidden cameras and unexpected devices, using the hardware already in your iPhone. Built for hotel rooms, short-term rentals, changing rooms, and any space you did not set up yourself. ILENS gives you a structured way to look. It cannot promise a room is clean, and it does not decide for you. WHAT ILENS CHECKS Devices on your Wi-Fi network Lists the devices sharing the network you are connected to, and the open services each one answers on, so an unfamiliar camera or recorder stands out from the router and the TV. Bluetooth Finds nearby Bluetooth devices that are broadcasting, including ones with no screen and no obvious owner. Camera lens check Uses your camera to help you spot the reflection a lens gives back. Move slowly across smoke detectors, vents, sockets, mirrors and clocks — the places cameras are usually hidden. ILENS points your eyes at the right places; you make the call. On-device object detection A model running on your iPhone can mark objects in view that look like cameras. It recognises shapes, not hidden cameras, so treat a mark as a place to look more closely. WHAT ILENS CANNOT DO We would rather say this up front than have you find out later. - ILENS cannot find every hidden camera, and no app can. A camera that is switched off, or one that records to a memory card with no wireless connection, leaves nothing for a phone to see. - Network and Bluetooth scanning only shows devices that are broadcasting. A camera on a separate network will not appear in the list. - Lens reflection depends on angle and lighting. It is a way of looking, not a verdict. - ILENS does not use infrared. The camera in your iPhone blocks infrared light, so no app on it can reveal heat or IR emitters. - An empty result means ILENS found nothing by these methods. It does not mean the room is clear. PRIVACY - No account, no sign-up. - Scans run on your device. - ILENS does not store photos, video or audio from your scans. - The free version is supported by ads. GOOD FOR - Travellers and hotel guests - People staying in short-term rentals - Changing rooms and fitting rooms - Anyone who wants a second look at a room they did not set up ILENS PREMIUM Upgrade to remove all ads and scan without limits.

Whether you're checking a hotel room, a short-term rental, an office, a car, or your own home, Hidden Device Radar gives you a fast, private way to spot devices that may be recording or tracking you. WHAT IT DETECTS • Bluetooth devices — trackers (AirTag, Tile, SmartTag, Chipolo), cameras, speakers, wearables, and other IoT gadgets • Wi-Fi / local network devices — IP cameras, baby monitors, NVRs, doorbells, and smart-home hardware • Unknown trackers that may be traveling with you • NFC tags — tap to identify a chip hidden in an object (on supported iPhones) KEY FEATURES • Real-time threat scoring — every device is flagged as Info, Suspicious, Elevated, or Critical • Signal Strength Finder — a "warmer / colder" proximity graph that helps you physically locate a device (Pro) • Scan modes for a quick sweep, a single room, or a whole floor • Detailed device fingerprints and manufacturer identification • Detection history so you can tell what's new versus what's always there • 100% on-device — your scans never leave your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no ads. HIDDEN DEVICE RADAR PRO Unlock everything with a one-time purchase: • Signal Strength Finder • NFC Tap-to-Identify • Full threat analysis and guidance • Unlimited detection history • AI Trend Insight HONEST ABOUT LIMITATIONS Hidden Device Radar detects devices that broadcast Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC signals. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC advertisements are unauthenticated, so results are strong investigative leads — not legal proof of a device's identity or intent. The app cannot detect devices that are powered off, purely analog/wired, or that broadcast no signal. PRIVACY FIRST Everything runs locally on your device. We don't collect, upload, or sell your data. There are no accounts and no ads. Use Hidden Device Radar to check your own spaces and protect your own privacy. Always follow the laws in your area.
