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 all detection modes (IR, magnetic, Bluetooth & network) and remove ads with Premium. Monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage anytime in your Apple ID settings.

EMF Detector
Read full descriptionHide full description
EMF Detector turns your iPhone's magnetometer into a live magnetic-field instrument, presented as a classic CRT vectorscope. The sensor is sampled at 100 Hz and monitored on two channels at once: steady field shifts from magnets, ferrous objects and motors, and AC ripple from live wiring. Field deviation is drawn as a phosphor beam with a persistence trail, and detected anomalies are marked on the scope and logged automatically with time and strength. VECTORSCOPE — the beam shows the direction and strength of the current disturbance; repeated activity builds a slowly fading heat picture of where it concentrates. ELITE 3D SCANNER — an alternative display in the style of the 1984 classic, showing the field's vertical component on a tilted scanner plane. BENCH-METER READOUTS — fourteen-segment displays for field strength, baseline, deviation and AC ripple, with a FIXED/AUTO baseline lock and one-tap re-baseline. APPLE WATCH — a companion app with its own sensor, alerts and a mini scope. PRO (one-time purchase): • REM-POD MODE — park the phone at a location and monitor it from your wrist: the watch mirrors the scope, meter and anomalies live, with an optional alarm on the parked phone. • WATCH REFERENCE MODE — use the watch as an ambient reference to distinguish local disturbances from room-wide changes. • Map of geotagged anomalies, CSV/GPX export, unlimited history and custom sensitivity. The instrument measures real magnetic fields: readings reflect physical sources such as wiring, appliances and magnetised objects. How you use it is up to you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EMF Detector at none against CamRadar's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
