Hidden Camera Detect+ vs AlphaProbe

A four-mode privacy sweep for hotel rooms, rentals, changing rooms and your own bag. ITEM TRACKER DETECTION • Identifies nearby AirTag, Tile, SmartTag and Chipolo trackers by their Bluetooth signature • Follow detection — the app remembers what it has seen, so it can tell you when the same tracker keeps reappearing across separate sweeps in different places. That pattern, not a single sighting, is what matters • Distance band by signal strength, so you can walk toward it • Your own paired devices are filtered out, and anything found is labelled as a lead to check, never as proof CAMERA AND ROOM SWEEP • Lens reflection check — a guided walkthrough that uses the camera to help you spot the glint of a lens in vents, smoke detectors and mirrors • Bluetooth device scan — counts nearby signals and flags unnamed devices sitting close by • Magnetic anomaly — takes a two-second baseline when the scan starts, then alerts on field spikes as you sweep past fittings ROOM-BY-ROOM SWEEP LIST Work through bedroom, bathroom, living room and office, marking each as swept. Progress saves itself, so an interrupted sweep can be picked up later. RECORDS • Every scan is saved with a 7-day trend and a plain-language summary • Note and favourite any scan; compare two saved scans side by side • Export as CSV or share a single result • Watchlist — mark a device as suspicious and the app tells you when it shows up again WHAT THIS APP CAN AND CANNOT DO iPhone cameras have infrared-cut filters, so this app does not see infrared. The lens check works on reflection: a lens returns a distinctive glint when light hits it straight on. Bluetooth gives you presence and rough distance, never direction. Magnetic detection depends on starting somewhere clean and sweeping slowly. No phone app can guarantee a room is clear — use all four checks together, and treat every hit as something to look at rather than a verdict. If you believe you are being followed or watched, contact local authorities. This app is a tool for looking, not evidence. Available in 25 languages.

AlphaProbe (developed by Obipixel Ltd | Obisec) is a professional network utility for iPhone and iPad. Map the LANs you are allowed to test, home labs, small offices, or any network where you have permission, and keep a clear record of what you found. Disclaimer: Only use AlphaProbe on authorised systems/network you have permission for. By using AlphaProbe you agree to use it lawfully and at your own risk; the app is provided as a diagnostic aid, not a guarantee of security or completeness. Requirements: iOS 17 or later. Local network access is required for discovery and most LAN features. Optimised for iPhone and iPad. SCAN • See active network interfaces and usable address ranges on your device. • Discover live hosts across your subnets with fast TCP reachability checks. • Scan open ports on discovered hosts using outbound TCP connections and timed UDP probes. • Enrich results with UPnP (SSDP) friendly names and reverse DNS when the network responds. • On-device hints help interpret roles and platforms with confidence-style labels—they are heuristics, not proof of a specific product or service (for example, open ports 80/443 do not identify Tor or other software by themselves). • In-app Info explains how discovery works, why UDP results can differ between runs, and why retries often find more hosts. RESULTS • When a scan completes, save a snapshot of hosts and open ports on your device. • Snapshots can include integrity fingerprints (MD5/SHA-256) for supported formats so you keep a fixed record of what was stored at save time. • Copy or share formatted exports; verify fingerprints against the canonical payload where the app supports it. • Delete individual snapshots when you no longer need them; clearing live scan data removes current discovery results from local storage as described in the app. TOOLS All tools are manual, you start each check. Use them only on hosts and networks you own or are explicitly authorised to test. • DNS lookup (addresses): Resolve hostnames to IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) using the system DNS resolver, shown in separate lists. CNAME chains are followed by the system. • DNS lookup (MX, NS, SOA): A separate action uses DNS over HTTPS to Google Public DNS (dns.google). This is not the same as your device's system resolver or VPN DNS, so results may differ. Each answer shows TTL and record data. • Reverse DNS: Look up PTR style names for numeric IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. • TCP port check: Measure how long until a TCP connection becomes ready using Apple's Network framework, not ICMP ping. • HTTP(S) check: Send a GET with URLSession; see status, redirects, response size, and timing. Cleartext HTTP to LAN devices may work when the system allows local networking; use HTTPS for public sites. • TCP reachability: Same TCP timing idea, framed for a quick "is something answering?" probe (try 443 or 80). REFERENCE • Port encyclopedia for quick context on common ports and services. ACCESS • Sign in with Apple to use the app's access model. • Complimentary trial for eligible new users, then a one-time in-app purchase to unlock ongoing use (pricing and terms are shown in the app). IMPORTANT Unauthorised scanning or probing may be illegal or against network policy. You are responsible for using AlphaProbe only where you have permission and for complying with applicable laws and rules.
