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.
