Concerned about hidden cameras in your hotel, Airbnb, or rental? CamSafe provides multiple scanning tools to help you check for potential surveillance devices — using infrared, WiFi, Bluetooth, magnetic field, and lens reflection methods. Important: No app can guarantee detection of all hidden cameras. CamSafe is a supplementary tool designed to assist your manual inspection. Results may vary depending on device type, environment, and camera technology. Whether you're traveling, staying at an Airbnb, or want extra peace of mind, use these tools to help inspect any room. — SCANNING TOOLS — Camera Lens Scanner Use your phone camera with the built-in flashlight to look for reflective camera lenses that may be hiding in walls, mirrors, smoke detectors, and everyday objects. Bright spot detection highlights potential reflections in real time. Infrared (IR) Scanner Check for night-vision cameras that may emit invisible infrared light. Use IR scanning mode in dark rooms to look for cameras that may not be visible to the naked eye. WiFi Network Scanner Scan your local WiFi network to discover connected devices. Review devices on your network to identify any that seem unfamiliar or suspicious. Bluetooth Scanner Scan for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. Check for wireless devices that use Bluetooth for data transmission. EMF / Magnetic Field Scanner Use your phone's magnetometer to check for unusual electromagnetic fields that may be produced by electronic devices hidden behind walls, ceilings, or furniture. Flashlight Tool A simple method — shine a bright light across surfaces to look for tiny lens reflections with your own eyes. — QUICK SCAN — Run a guided multi-step scan with presets designed for specific situations: • Hotel Room • Airbnb / Rental • Changing Room • Bathroom • Office • Meeting Room Each preset guides you through Camera Scanning, IR Scanning, and Network/Bluetooth scanning in sequence, then provides a summary of findings. — ROOM CHECK CHECKLISTS — Follow interactive step-by-step checklists to help physically inspect any room. Each checklist covers common areas to check — mirrors, smoke detectors, clocks, power outlets, air vents, and more. Track your progress and get tips for each area. — LEARNING CENTER — Browse articles about hidden camera awareness, privacy protection tips, and how surveillance devices work. Stay informed and prepared. — SCAN HISTORY — Review past scan sessions with details on findings, devices noted, and duration. Keep a record of rooms you've checked. — DISCLAIMER — CamSafe is designed as a supplementary privacy tool. It cannot detect all types of hidden cameras or surveillance devices. Detection effectiveness depends on many factors including device hardware, environmental conditions, and the type of surveillance equipment. Always combine app-based scanning with thorough manual inspection. If you suspect illegal surveillance, contact local law enforcement. — LEGAL — Terms of Use: https://leanstudio.asia/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://leanstudio.asia/privacy-policy — SUPPORT — Questions or feedback?
