Hidden Camera Detector - Privo helps you feel safer in hotels, vacation rentals, offices, dressing rooms, and other unfamiliar places. It combines several privacy-check tools in one simple app. Use the network scanner to scan your current Wi-Fi network, review connected devices, inspect device details, and notice suspicious or unfamiliar connections that may not belong there. Use magnetic sensor tools to help spot hidden cameras, microphones, speakers, and other nearby electronics. You can also use camera filters to assist manual checks and look for suspicious lens reflections or unusual light points in the room. The app is built for travel, short stays, home privacy checks, and everyday safety awareness. The interface is fast, simple, and easy to use, so you can run a quick room check in seconds. Results depend on your device model, available hardware, network visibility, signal conditions, and the surrounding environment. The app should be used as a support tool together with manual inspection and common-sense safety checks.
