Worried about hidden cameras in your hotel, Airbnb, or changing room? CamRadar turns your iPhone into a fast, private inspection tool — no extra hardware needed. TRY IT FREE Try it free: an 8-second preview on the IR camera and on the device scan, then decide. Four inspection methods you run yourself, with a sound and vibration alert for unusual readings. It is an aid to your own check, not a guarantee. HOW IT WORKS • IR / Reflection Camera — spot bright lens reflections that may hide a camera. • Magnetic Anomaly Detector — calibrates a baseline, then alerts on magnetic spikes near electronics. • Bluetooth Scanner — finds nearby wireless devices with live signal strength (hot/cold). • Network Scanner — lists devices on your Wi-Fi, like IP cameras and smart gadgets. KEY FEATURES • Instant sound + vibration alert • Live proximity meter — get closer, signal gets stronger • Magnetic alarm with baseline calibration • Scan history with a simple risk score • Step-by-step manual inspection guide • Works fully on-device — nothing is uploaded • No account, no sign-up PERFECT FOR Hotels, Airbnb & rentals, changing rooms, restrooms, offices, and anyone who values their privacy. PRIVACY FIRST No location required. No accounts, no servers — every scan runs entirely on your device. IMPORTANT This app is a privacy-inspection aid that uses your iPhone's sensors. No app can guarantee it will find every device — always combine scans with a careful manual check. PREMIUM Unlock every scanning tool (IR, magnetic, Bluetooth & network) and remove ads with Premium: a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage them anytime in your Apple Account settings.

PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Booked a hotel, Airbnb or changing room and want to know you are not on camera? CamSafe turns your iPhone into a hidden camera detector: sweep the room with lens-reflection and infrared checks, list the WiFi and Bluetooth devices around you, and probe suspicious spots with the magnetometer - all in one guided routine. Most detector apps hand you a blinking radar and leave you guessing. CamSafe runs five independent checks and explains what each signal can and cannot mean, then walks you through room-by-room checklists built from the places cameras actually hide - smoke alarms, alarm clocks, vents, shower heads, TVs and routers. WHAT YOU GET • Point your camera at a smoke alarm and suspicious glints light up on screen - pinhole lenses reflect before your naked eye ever spots them. • Dim the lights and the IR view exposes night-vision illuminators as bright dots invisible to the naked eye. • One tap lists every device answering on the room's WiFi network - an unexplained "IP camera" stands out immediately. • A live Bluetooth sweep surfaces trackers and gadgets advertising nearby, with signal strength to help you walk them down. • The EMF meter reacts as your phone passes powered electronics hidden inside a wall clock or power outlet. • Hotel, rental and office checklists tick off each hiding spot, so a full sweep takes minutes - and every scan lands in your history with a room safety score. PERFECT FOR • Travelers who sweep every hotel room before unpacking • Airbnb and vacation-rental guests who have read the horror stories • Anyone using changing rooms, gyms or short-stay offices • Guests staying somewhere they do not fully trust WHY NOT JUST BUY A DETECTOR GADGET? A cheap RF wand beeps at everything and explains nothing. CamSafe uses the sensors you already carry - camera, magnetometer, WiFi and Bluetooth radios - and pairs every reading with a plain-language explanation of what it may mean, plus a learning center on how hidden cameras actually work. It is honest by design: no phone app can guarantee a room is clean, so results are presented as leads to inspect by hand, never as false promises. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Camera frames are analysed live on your iPhone and never recorded, saved or uploaded. Network and Bluetooth scans run only when you start them. Your scan history stays on your device. No account required. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) CamSafe requires a purchase to unlock. Full access includes unlimited detector scans, all five scan modes and every room preset and checklist. Choose the Weekly plan, the Yearly plan (best value) or a one-time Lifetime purchase - prices are shown in the App Store before you confirm. Sweep your room tonight: download CamSafe and run your first hotel check before you unpack.
